Loss of privacy? You're making a joke, surely? You actually think we can keep anything private in the digital age...really, you're joking right, either that or deluded? And I'm not 'telling you to use' anything, but I am excited about Chrome OS, which will, despite your protestations, bring some competition to MS and Apple in the OS arena (I already use MS, Apple and Linux on that front I'm agnostic). If you're not excited about Google Chrome OS and Wave then I'd highly doubt you'd be excited by anything in the tech world.

Nice comparison though, might convince some stupid people into thinking that you actually have an argument by equating my interest in Google Chrome OS with my idealism in the face of traditional publishing. Interest in Google Chrome OS != advocation of pure capitalism.

Better luck next time
