    Dear Roby:

    When something seemingly small and unimportant is mentioned twice in a passage of God's Word, it is obviously no accident. What our Lord Jesus said about the widow's mite is as powerful and meaningful today as the day those words were spoken.

    ENABLING THE LEAN ENTERPRISE
    In the past, many companies saw lean initiatives as a way to improve performance and competitive standing. But it was often tough to make the case for change when times were good. Companies are now motivated to align internal objectives and drive improvement. Moreover, as demand in many sectors subsides, companies have the available resources needed to execute.

    Discover the Power of a Vow


    Discover the Power of a Vow
    Dear Roby:

    We are told, "Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Psalm 50:14-15). The psalmist knew that when God's people are in trouble, making and fulfilling a vow is the only way out.

    Are you facing impossible circumstances? It is entirely biblical to make a vow when you are in danger or up against impossible situations. And when you make vows to God, He listens.

    Discover the power of a vow...

    Google to introduce PC operating system

    NYT: Google to introduce PC operating system
    Based on Chrome browser, it would directly challenge Microsoft
    By MIGUEL HELFT and ASHLEE VANCE
    The New York Times
    updated 1:09 a.m. ET July 8, 2009

    SAN FRANCISCO - In a direct challenge to Microsoft, Google is expected to announce on Wednesday that it is developing an operating system for a personal computer based on its Chrome browser, according to two people briefed on Google’s plans.

    The details of the technology could not be learned, but Google plans to make the announcement on a company blog on Wednesday afternoon, this person said.

    Google did not immediately return calls and e-mail messages seeking comment.

    The move would sharpen the already intense competition between Google and Microsoft, whose Windows operating system controls the basic functions of the vast majority of personal computers.

    Google could well be hoping to capitalize on the rise of netbooks, the compact, low-cost computers that have turned the PC world on its head.

    Google already has already developed an operating system called Android, that is used for mobile phones. The software is also being built into lightweight PCs called netbooks by several manufacturers.

    Google has not encouraged netbook makers to use Android as an operating system, and the Chrome-based operating system appears to be the company’s preferred software for operating netbooks.

    Google has also long promoted a vision of computing in which applications delivered over the Web play an increasingly central role, replacing software programs that run on the desktop. In that world, applications run directly inside an Internet browser, rather than atop an operating system, the traditional software that controls most of the operations of a PC.

    Chrome browser first step
    Last year, the company released the Chrome browser, which it described as a tool for users to interact with increasingly powerful Web programs, like Gmail, Google Docs and online applications created by other companies. Since then, Google has been adding capabilities to Chrome, like the ability to allow it to run applications even when a user is not connected to the Internet.

    It is not clear how much work it would take for Google to turn Chrome into the central part of a full fledged operating system. But in a recent interview, Marc Andreessen, who developed the first commercial browser and co-founded Netscape, compared Chrome to an operating system.

    “Chrome is basically a modern operating system,” Mr. Andreessen said.

    Google has also long customized a version of the Linux operating system for use internally.

    The rise of netbooks has started to challenge some of Microsoft’s dominance in personal computing software. The first wave of netbooks relied on various versions of the open-source Linux operating system, and major PC makers like Hewlett-Packard and Dell have backed the Linux software.

    In an unusual move, Intel, the world’s largest chip maker, has worked on developing a Linux-based operating system called Moblin as well.

    The company has aimed the software at netbooks and smart phones in a bid to spur interest for its mobile device chip sold under the Atom brand.

    To combat these efforts, Microsoft began offering its older Windows XP operating system for use on netbooks at a low price. In addition, the company has vowed that is upcoming Windows 7 software, due out this fall, will run well on the tiny laptops.

    Netbooks have stood out as the brightest part of the PC market during the global economic downturn. Overall, PC sales have plummeted, while netbooks sales have surged.

    This article, "Google Plans to Introduce a PC Operating System," first appeared in The New York Times.
