quaffapint, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Just like Microsoft had web tv...

MrDiaz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0like it was supposed to happen. There are always some users that try to be smart ^^
krum0786, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3First off this is pure speculation and second its too early for Google to come out with a PC without first releasing an Office Suite
FullMetalMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0@krum0786
How do you know that they won't be released at the same time.

You can never count out Google!
Rice, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2krum0786

Why would they need to? OpenOffice.org
trvr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0maybe the pc case will be made out of silly putty!

SuperMoonMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The article made it clear that that was just a prediction. I gotta retract that Digg of mine.
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"Here are some predictions for the media industry for 2006, based on interviews with industry analysts, executives and investors, along with a little intuition."
Vote as Lame.
werns, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Google might just buy Writely. I'd buy a Google PC. Put it in a cupboard somewhere.
Rice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Whoops, prediction? Undugg.
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8To undigg stories, go to your user profile (top left of page) find the story and look for the undigg link just below it.
cfizzo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3keep in mind this is only speculative
nrbelex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"Here are some predictions for the media industry for 2006, based on interviews with industry analysts, executives and investors, along with a little intuition." - Also known as - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
MyNightwish, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0It will probably be red yellow and blue
gwjc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0If we believe it; they will! it'll come with google online backup btw.
groverallnight, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2We need fewer articles based on "facts" that have been pulled indiscriminately from the asses of "IT Professionals."
MyNightwish, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0who would they be aiming at though?, normal, power users?
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1this is the second false story in a row. Newegg is NOT pulling a fast one. It's the new year and they havent resubscribed to TRUSTe.
russau, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0when you consider how many people use a PC just for web browsing and email (via web-based email) - makes sense to knock up a low-end cheap PC for this purpose. which is exactly what i'd consider buying for my mum..
xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1AOL PC.
MoeB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"speculation, lame"
ditto
Orangutan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this would be a better article if it was more than someone's hope.
sporkman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1webtv.. cough cough
Philodox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The article is complete speculation, it's sad that sensationalist tripe like this gets to the front page but good articles get blinked out of existence.
MyNightwish, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0i just wanna know what one of these would look like, red yellow and blue, google on the side of it? i dont know
Darth_tater, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0undugg bc itwas a prediction
but if they could get something small like a mack mini (and as fumctional as one) have it running linux then they could do quite well
if they did a office suite (cheaper than MS or even free, based on the open office) that was releated on it then DAMN

i might go out and buy a few
one as the myth tv front end, one as the router/nat/firewall
and one for the cars (dvd jukbox, for the kids) and maby a cluster of them for folding at home.
MrDiaz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0WELL ACTUALLY, EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUT THERE COMES FROM SPECULATIONS. SO WHAT TO EXPECT NOW? EVERYTHING HAS A START....GOOGLE PC BEGINS HERE. PERIOD!
groverallnight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"The article is complete speculation, it's sad that sensationalist tripe like this gets to the front page but good articles get blinked out of existence."

That's because digg is made up primarily of people who digg stories based on their titles and aren't the least bit interested in RTFA.
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2MrDiaz. It's just a prediction from next year based on some guys opinion. You've listed it as fact when it's clrearly not.
coolgeek61813, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0i for one welcome are new google overloads...

all hail big brother.... i mean all hail google
squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0if there is a huge google logo on the side, i might just buy a case offf ebay and build inside it.
SteveCUBE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'm thinking a Google Linux distro.
chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows.."

Wow.
NerveBand, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@theone3
Thanks for the undigg tip. damn speculation. Don't get me hyped up that easily!
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I don't know how to make this any clearer except spamming the comments.. so here I go. Sorry guys.

ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! THIS IS PURE OPINIONATIVE SPECULATION. IT'S JUST ONE JOURNALIST SPEWING LIES.

Sorry 'bout that.
ahmerhussain, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0LINUX SHALL REPLACE WINEDOWZ!!!

And viruses won't spread anymore
mevam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It took Microsoft 6 years to release Vista, and you're telling me Google will get an OS out in a couple of months? Give me a break.
squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"AOL PC."

did the AOL PC have a google logo on it? NO
Linuxrocks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Hopefully its as good as the AOL pc!
crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Wow, the scary world of capitalists.
Cronos1388, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I swear digg should have an IQ entry test. If we can weed out the under-40's, this might be a decent news site.
thewordwasgod, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"WELL ACTUALLY, EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUT THERE COMES FROM SPECULATIONS. SO WHAT TO EXPECT NOW? EVERYTHING HAS A START....GOOGLE PC BEGINS HERE. PERIOD!"

mrdiaz you mother *****, stop trying to make up for the fact that you submitted a ***** article and a bunch of diggers can't read and 'dugg' it even though the article says something compleatly different

you said

"Google will unveil its own low-price personal computer or other device that connects to the Internet. Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. NOW THIS IS GOOD!"

***** you "every single news out there comes from speculation", i don't think so big guy. get outta here.

i hope you are happy with your stupid front paged piece of *****

and by the way, most 'diggs' come from people who don't even read the article.
incognegro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what? way to sucker me into something thats purely speculative....title should've read "TOTALLY UNFOUNDED CLAIM: (google PC)"

UnDugg
clevershark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Well, set-top boxes have a strong record... of failure.

Then again perhaps Google has figured out that the time is now right for it to take off. Certainly it's a more attractive prospect with the much broader adoption of broadband.
onefish2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Talk about misleading! No digg!!!
theone3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Finally
