USB Inserts bring ads into the print age and back again… or something

Be honest: you really want to crack open a magazine and find one of these paper-thin USB key ads, right? No? Well… here’s the thing. We really think this is a cool concept — made to order, die cut USB drives that can be tucked in the pages of a newspaper or magazine (if you know what those are) — with whatever content a company wants to throw on there. However, we’re also not really sure the inserts would be compelling enough for us to ever consider loading up whatever content was on it. Regardless, that phone on the right sure seems to be familiar

Chrome OS ‘Diet’ version fits on a 1GB USB key, brings more WiFi support

Not everyone has a 4GB USB key or SD card just lying around, which was required to run Hexxeh’s first build of Chromium OS, and we’d say that 8GB keys are exponentially more rare, which is what Dell requires with its build of the Chrome OS open source variant. Well, you can cancel that Fry’s run, because Hexxeh is back with a Chrome OS Diet flavor, which cuts the fat and gets the OS onto a 1GB drive. It supposedly doesn’t cut anything features-wise, and actually improves WiFi support since it’s based on a newer build — check out that compatibility list source link for the full story on that.

Can Google succeed outside of search? (InfoWorld)

InfoWorld – Google is rich, with a market cap of $183 billion — that’s billion with a “b” — already 71 percent the value of its much more established archrival Microsoft. With those resources, Google has created more and more software products in an attempt to build a sustainable business outside of the search-based ads that account for most of its revenue — and be the center of your computing universe.
