synk.org - Synk & Organize, everything online.

So the pieces are coming together: in the future the device will be less important. The network is key, the portable device the premier entry. So synk.mobi could be the perfect guide to this new, online, personalised "OS" (things like mobile gmail). All the best services will have to create mobile versions to survive. A single login to these would be perfect for the modern nomad. Synk.mobi aims to be that login...

Synk.org is more like a portable computer, device-independant. It's more of a "network OS", but that's also a contradiction of terms of course. "Personal OS" is another wrong saying. Personal space, or app collection is more accurate. "The network is the computer" is even better.

GoogleOS II: Starring Linus Torvalds

It's kinda funny when people talk about an upcoming Google OS, web-based, as something Google will launch in the future. Guys, just check gmail, on the top there are links to calendar, docs and more. Google has already started creating a web-based OS. It's pretty obvious. Question is when they will start calling it an OS, and how or if it will connect to other great services out there...
