Enforcing rules for the Press and your employees is hard enough, but how are they going to stop fans from doing the exact same thing? Will the league sue fans tweeting from the stands? I, for one, plan to find out.
I agree with you. This move makes very little sense in the grand scheme of things. My experience with Chrome mirrors yours and I have the same opinion—-it's not ready for prime-time. Besides, I thought Google wanted us to live in the Cloud.
I guess the idea is to use the OS as a platform for running Chrome and accessing Web apps that are in the Cloud, but what about apps that have to run locally? What about games? Adobe Creative Suite?
Maybe Google identified a niche for this kind of product on netbooks. Vista is notoriously bad on netbooks, and that would explain why there's no initial plans to run the OS on full-sized PCs. Only time will tell, and as a longtime user of Google products I will definitely be willing to check it out. There are just a lot of unanswered questions.
The idea that journalism should be objective harms the profession. Throughout the history of the press, with the exception of the last few decades, the assumption was that journalism is subjective. Despite the facade of objectivity, it is clear that even modern journalism is not objective. In fact, anyone with a degree in journalism knows that true objectivity is unattainable.
By allowing audiences to believe that journalistic objectivity is both desirable and possible, unrealistic expectations are placed on the profession. When these expectations aren't met, audiences become disillusioned and the overall perception of media credibility is eroded.
Furthermore, by recognizing that journalism is subjective, audiences are better equipped to understand and make decisions about the media they consume.
Let's end the farce.
