Google Bets $π Million on Chrome OS

"We believe these larger rewards reflect the additional challenge involved with tackling the security defenses of Chrome OS, compared to traditional operating systems"
see Google offers $3.14159 MILLION in prizes for hacking Chrome OS • The Register.

That’s confidence! Google is offering $millions in prizes for cracks of their OS. I wouldn’t bet that much on anything except M$’s eventual/continuing decline in the market for client OS. Thanks, Google. Who says “They don’t give back.”?

Microsoft offers thousands for information leading to those who have already compromised their OS. That’s the difference between Microsoft and Google. Microsoft has conceded defeat. Not a day goes by where somebody demonstrates anew that you can break into Microsoft’s OS and cause havoc.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
