Original at Scobleizer - Tech Geek Blogger external link    Fri, Nov 20

By Robert Scoble Today InfoWorld’s Randall Kennedy says that Google’s Chrome OS will fail. What he is missing is he’s looking at the wrong field. Google is playing a different game.

This was a reasonable guess, because the Snow Leopard transition to 64-bit has in fact caused existing 32-bit scripting additions to becom...
