The Verge has a complete review of the new Chrome OS on a Samsung laptop (Chrome Book). So the big innovation Google brings is that it now looks like a mixture of Ubuntu and Windows 7, but you still need a constant internet connection to really do stuff on it. At $449 for a laptop like this, I could get a Windows or Ubuntu netbook, use Chrome as the browser and do more, while still being able to use it offline. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get it.
The Verge’s Vlad Savov, put an iPhone 4S with Siri and a Galaxy S III with S Voice side by side, and asked them to perform a series of tasks. They are pretty much tied I would say. Siri won some rounds, S Voice won some rounds, and they both made some blunders. We are just at the begining of this technology, in five years it could be really amazing.
The Verge says that both phones were connected to the same WiFi network and the same carrier.
The high-resolution screen of the new iPad establishes a new benchmark in excellence, providing the best rendering of detail and color accuracy we’ve ever seen on a tablet display. As a result, the iPad tops our new tablet Ratings, posted today.

Case closed, best Tablet ever.
