What is Google Chrome all about?

Speed •  Google Chrome was

designed to be fast to –  Startup –  Open and render pages

–  Let users do what they do most often

Stability •  As we do more online, we

rely on our browser more

•  The browser must be as stable and fault-tolerant as possible. If a single page or plugin crashes, the rest of the browser should not be affected.

Security •  Google Chrome includes

features designed to help protect users from phishing, and malicious webpages designed to exploit the browser to install malware

Why did Google invest in Android?

•  Help deliver on the promise of open mobile Internet access − Better browser, location, etc. technology

− Leverage point for cheaper, flat rate data plans

•  Drive innovation in the mobile industry − Build a large platform and application developer communities

− Drive investment in mobile software

•  Don’t get locked out! − Major mobile platform players are pushing into the software

services space

− Platform consolidation moving to the major players − Google can only be successful when there is true openness

and competition

…and then give it away?

•  Android is no way tied to Google services − You could use it to build a Yahoo or Baidu phone*

•  We’ve open sourced the entire platform − Hosted at kernel.org, not Google servers

− Will grow the core technical team to include many other entities

•  People don’t need a partnership with Google to launch Android-powered devices

* I leave out Microsoft because they would probably use Windows Mobile.

Why Does Cloud Computing Matter to India?

•  Need for large number of solutions catering to citizens beyond the “elite”

•  Eliminate the barriers to innovate, cost of hosting; build into an environment that democratizes information and tools

•  Economics of developing and deploying applications need to be appropriate for India – cost effective. Open-Source and CC offer such economics to develop large scale apps

Last thoughts on a cloudy future

The web belongs to you; it belongs to us; it's our platform. Together, we can move it forward.

The “cloud” would become more accessible through powerful clients and pervasive connectivity

OpenStandards: Market will have lots of competitors

Engineers: Your new employees is the “cloud generation”

Security: All companies in the cloud business need to gain users trust!
