Let’s be honest. We’ve been saying for years that it was only a matter of time before Google went Skynet on us.

But honestly, I can say if they keep providing awesome ideas like this, I’m all for our new overlords.

The latest idea from the geniuses at Google is their first ever operating system, called Google Chrome OS.

Building off of their super badical web browser of the same name, Chrome OS is a very streamlined operating system for netbooks and similar low spec computers, allowing a user to operate “in the cloud”, i.e. with all storage online.

Google, being Google and owning YouTube and all, released the below video to showcase how the system will work.  Should you want to test it out yourself, a VMWare image of the program is available for download here.
