Furthermore, some of their services seem to be lacking in areas, such as Android Market. I just experienced the worst experience I have ever had with a Google Service.<\/p>\n<p>I did not realize that the Android Market is now capable of accepting multiple accounts. Furthermore, I did not realize that I had accidentally downloaded some apps while the market was logged into an account I do not wish for my phone to be associated with.<\/p>\n<p>I thought &#8220;No problem. I&#8217;ll just go delete my phone from the Android Market account.&#8221; Turns out, you cannot delete an Android device from the market once it is added. You can only hide it from the menus. This is very, very frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time I am testing out some Chromium OS builds (brought to us by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chromeos.hexxeh.net\">Hexxeh<\/a>)\u00a0on my Acer 5610z laptop. Hexxeh has done an AMAZING JOB and I hope he keeps up the good work. Back to the point: My opinion of Chromium OS is that it is nowhere near being ready to be released to the public. This OS should still be in the Beta stage. Nonetheless, I do like it. I prefer to do things in it rather than starting up Ubuntu for some strange reason. (I never thought I would but, I do.)<\/p>\n<p>A few problems with the OS is:<\/p>\n<p>1. No way to edit files locally (aside from command line editing)<br \/>\n2. Sometimes it gets very slow, bogged down on certain web pages, even locking up with no way to reset (sysrq won&#8217;t work)<br \/>\n3. Cannot log in to multiple accounts, making it hard to use if you have multiple Google accounts<br \/>\n4. Because of the above, I cannot listen to my music on one account and check my mail on another or have another account up on the Android Market<br \/>\n5. Google seems to assume everyone has unlimited bandwidth, I do not have a fast enough connection to listen to my music on Google Music and be able to play a YouTube video! This one is very annoying because guess what, the music AND the video start to skip&#8230;<br \/>\n6. If I had local storage, things like problem number 3 and 4 would be solved. I could listen to my music locally and then my video on YouTube wouldn&#8217;t skip.<br \/>\n7. They&#8217;ve changed the shortcut keys for some things like, F3 is refresh instead of F5. This is annoying also. There is no way to customize the keys either.<br \/>\n8. Lastly, the most frustrating of all, no Find As You Type (FAYT) feature. Chrome does not include any way to FAYT. I come from using Firefox and find this is an indispensable\u00a0tool that should be included in every browser. The one extension that exists for Chrome does not do the job\u00a0sufficiently\u00a0and I am\u00a0therefore\u00a0left with having to remember to type CTRL-F before I start typing away at my search. Did I mention this is very annoying?!<\/p>\n<p>There are many other issues with the OS that people are finding. The above are just a few that I have observed.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the OS has a good foothold at what it wants to be but, is not totally finished or polished off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate how Google&#8217;s services are oriented around having one, and ONLY one, account!
