Chrome OS Rumored to Hit Chinese Netbooks Next Month

 

We've learned to be skeptical of Chrome OS rumors, but PC World picks up on a manufacturing news tip about at least one netbook manufacturer possibly installing "preview builds" of Google's Chrome Operating System and shipping those devices in late October. While we'd guess that the market for a thoroughly untested Chrome OS on non-name-brand netbooks would be fairly thin, if the report is accurate, we'd at least get to see the ideas behind Google's quick-loading system sooner rather than later. That said, drink this in with a huge grain of salt. [PC World]

 

 

The First Google Wave Search You Must Know

If you were lucky enough to get into Google Wave this week, you probably wondered "Now what?" when you found nobody to wave with. If that's the case, here's the first search command every Wave newbie needs to know: with:public.

If anyone on your Google account's Contacts lists also has Wave access, you're

set–but for some folks that's no one, or just one person. I've gotten a few waves from people saying "I have no one to talk to, and you're the only one on my list."

Entering a search for with:public returns a huge moving sea of public waves anyone can read and update. There you can dive in, meet other wavers, see what's possible with Wave, and ask how to do stuff. Wave documentation is building up fast and furious inside Wave, and since everyone's new to it, everyone is asking questions and lending each other a hand.

Tired of your inbox crawling with public waves? Save a search for waves sent just to you by using the in:inbox to:you@googlewave.com to pare down your list, replacing you@googlewave.com with your own address.

Google Wave Invites Is a Web Site Dedicated to Sharing Wave Invites

On Google Wave launch day, we gave readers an open thread dedicated to handing out and receiving Wave invites—an enterprise that quickly turned into an unwieldy 2,300+ comment thread. Web site Google Wave Invites offers a more organized alternative.

By nature of the way Google is handing out Wave invites, it's difficult to know with any amount of certainty that s

omeone has sent you an invite because Google isn't instantly sending invitations to people you invite. Instead, they're going through them one at a time—meaning that the Lifehacker editors who I invited as soon as I got access, for example, still haven't received their invitations.

I'm happy to open up this thread to people who have invitations and specifically want to give them out to fellow Lifehacker readers. Please only reply to people who're offering invites. Don't just paste your email in the comments hoping someone will grab it. It's probably not gonna happen.

That said, one adventurous, helpful web developer put together a web site dedicated specifically to the giving away and receiving of Google Wave invites—called Google Wave Invites—and it seems worth a try if you're looking for an invite with a little better system in place than what we can accomplish in the comments.

If you have been enjoying the spoils of Wave, let's hear how you've liked using it so far in the comments.

Get a free, disposable phone number from inumbr

Savvy online shoppers will often use disposable credit-card numbers (which are available from PayPal and some banks) to protect their privacy.

Here's a perfect companion: inumbr, which gives you free, temporary phone numbers. These throwaways are ideal for things like Craiglist ads, where you might want to include contact information--but not your contact information.

To use inumber, choose your closest city or area code (the service has roughly two dozen of them), then specify how long you want the number to last: an hour, a day, or a week.

Next, enter your real phone number, which is where inumbr will forward incoming calls. You'll also need to supply an e-mail address in order to activate the temporary number.

Once you've done that, you can log into the service and access a wealth of options, including extending the expiration date, adding a second number (in case you can't be reached at the first one), and even checking voicemail.

All this is free, believe it or not, making inumbr a must-bookmark site.

 


DISASSEMBLED: Sony's PSP Go

What's this? Why, it's the PSP Go like you've never seen it before!

The folks at Rapid Repair are always good sports when it comes to letting us know when they're going to tear apart the latest gadgets. We've come to suspect that they don't even turn the thing on, they just get out the screwdriver and have at it.

Always reliable, they just emailed us to let us know they finished going to town with the PSP Go. Planning on purchasing one? Just interested in seeing it splayed out on the operating table? Peep a selection of the images below to satisfy your needs. If that's not enough for you, you can check out the entire gallery and (if you feel like ripping apart your new toy) a step by step disassembly by hitting up Rapid Repair.
