[wutang01]

[rvbfan]

All your computers belong too us. :shiftyninja:

a 'computer' without a cpu is like my ass without a hole. isn't good for much of anything...

That cracked me up :laugh: :rofl:

[Dark_INk]

Umm, there would have to be some kind of CPU. Are they suggesting it's a thin client system? (like those that use WinCE and run terminal services clients?)

That's nothing new really, but just a new way of using them. Could be interesting, in the off chance that it ends up being true.

yeah- even if it's just a furby cpu.

I admire efforts like this to bring technology to poor countries. If you are interested in similar efforts I suggest you to do a search for the 100 dolar laptop or the AMD's PIC

[Banzai]

Ill believe it when I see it

I certainly won't call India as poor country... and I am sure China is also not poor country at all...

Woah. If this is real, then Google will have control over EVERY aspect of those thin clients... scary.

India isn't a poor country, but, what would you call a country where almost its entire population lives in pretty obnoxious conditions and still has the black plague? A bad country?

[Aleck79]

...The PCs won?t have CPU; they will be bundled with Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor. The PC will connect to the hosted system on their server and the remote OS will manage storage and functioning of the PC...

So what it will run on hopes, dreams, rainbows, and puppydogs? lol seriously, seems kind of fake to me

A rich (in terms of culture, history) country w/ poor people.

[Crazysah]

Which Hundustan Times was this in? What day and what page? Cause I get the Hindustan Times and I never came across it?

[Catharsis]

holy... googles next step to world domination

I'm pretty sure they hinted at world domination by releasing a little piece of software called "Google Earth." Coincidence? I think NOT!

[KayMan2K]

The PC will run on software created by Goggle.....

Very interesting. GoogleOS indeed.

Slight correction : A rich (in terms of culture, history) country w/ poor mentality people.

[Von_Beard]

[Liandros]

India is a poor country just go out of your city u'll notice

[theavidgeek]

:woot: IM gettin it period!

I think the basic "os" is gonna be the modem driver stuff to connect to the internet and their servers. But if you think about it, if there is no internet, it is a waste... I would spend another 100 bucks in the US and buy a regular PC. :p

LMFAO! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

In general terms, a poor country. I have been there once, if a cop catches you for running a light (running a light is quite common), you give him a few bucks, and he will let you go. Not a very safe place to live and yes it is a poor country. :/

China is nor an MEDC(more econimcally developed country) or and LEDC (less economically developed country) it is more of an NIC (newly industrialised country)
