@davemast Thanks, Dave! Not epic by most good anglers views, but a monster for me in less than a year of really active fishing.
@JasonPowell Thanks man! If I didn't have the fever before, I sure have it now. :)

I agree! I’ve been saying for years that “I wish Google would hurry up and make an OS.” Even if the majority of one’s work is not web based right now, it would sure be nice to have a go-to computer to efficiently tackle all your internet work.
Bring it on, Google!

This worries me!
I think it is great Google are coming into the OS market. They are one of the few who could take on Microsoft and win, purely because of who they are. Plus I’m sure they will do an excellent job. They will take Ubuntu, wrap it in their own UI and push it out for free to anyone who wants it.
But it’s what they will add that concerns me. Slowly but surely Google are trying to creep into every facet of our lives. Soon they will be on our desktops, but they are already in our phones and our internet. For a company who’s motto is “Don’t be evil” they weld enormous power, and I am not sure you can trust any one company to look after your best interests.
They will integrate the cloud into your desktop so all your documents not only live there, but also live on the internet where you can get them from anywhere. Great! But.. hold on, so Google will take a copy of everything you do (for your convenience)? Do you own that copy or do they? Can they keep it forever? What else can they do with it?
All I can think of is: Beware of geeks bearing gifts.
