Google’s latest Chromebook ad highlights the worst of Windows and MacOS

Google Chromebook Error Ad

  • Google has released a new Chromebook ad that throws shade at Windows and macOS.
  • The ad compares Chrome OS to its rivals by showing an increasing number of issues that occur on the other systems.
  • The ad also demonstrates that Chrome OS is much more than just a web browser inside a computer.

For many years, Chrome OS has been known as the browser-based operating system that runs on cheap hardware that people buy for their kids. While many still might think Chromebooks are only good for browsing the web, Google really wants to change the narrative.

As you can see in Google’s latest ad, the search giant starts off by poking fun at Windows and macOS. The video highlights several notable pain points found in rival operating systems, including error messages, virus threats, software crashes and lag.

The advertisement follows up this criticism by showcasing what’s possible on Chromebooks such as running (Android) apps, editing photos, writing on the display (where applicable), video calling, and much more.

Google finishes off the commercial by stating that consumers who want virus protection, automatic updates, all-day battery life, faster loading, and more, should buy a Chromebook. And for the gamers out there, the ad also teases official PUBG Mobile support for the platform.

Here’s why Google should launch a game streaming service

Google has one of the biggest gaming platforms around, but historically it hasn’t really made games a real priority. That could all be changing soon. A few weeks ago, Google hired former Playstation and Xbox …

This effort is likely Google’s attempt to re-educate the public and remove misconceptions about Chromebooks. Instead of thinking that Chrome OS is limited, the Silicon Valley company wants buyers to decide if they want to purchase a well-rounded and powerful Chromebook or a Windows/macOS machine that’s full of errors and other issues.

Truth be told, Apple and Microsoft platforms still have a few advantages over Chromebooks, such as proper desktop apps and more complex games. But Google has been hard at work to narrow the gap, recently delivering Linux app support for select Chromebooks.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
