I searched and searched for an FLV to MOV video converter for Mac OSX and ended up on MPEG Streamclip as the best option

It was nice to see Posterous push an update to their sharing bookmarklet today. This is one of two features I really, really wanted to see come to Posterous. This update allows you to specify which outposts you want to send a message to. Just want to post that to Twitter? No problem – check the box. As Posterous becomes my content distribution platform of choice this plays big into our distribution model.
My next feature request? Allow more than 3 blogs :-) Come on! I’d pay!
Posterous Updates Bookmarklet on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.

Verdict: It’s sleek, fast, and stable – so far… I don’t see myself going back to Safari as my default browser for awhile…
My only problem with it so far – can’t access Bookmark Manager… Oh well – minor disturbance.

We talked about the Google Chrome OS launch a couple weeks ago and am finally getting around to reviewing it… I had troubles installing Google Chrome OS as a virtual machine in Windows but am now running it just fine – aside from a few crashes.
If you want to know what I think about Chrome OS right away… It’s meh.
First off – I got my Google Chrome OS Image from gdgt and am using VMWare’s VMPlayer to run the virtual machine. Some of my crashes may be the result of running it as a Virtual Machine so I won’t discount that in my Chrome OS experience.
So what is Chrome OS? Well, honestly … it’s just Google’s Chrome Browser, as you can see above. The only real difference is the dasboard (second image above) that links to web pages. Nothing special here.
And yep – that’s it! I was expecting something more exciting but it really is just the browser. Don’t get me wrong – I live in the browser but there are so many other things you realize you do when you are limited to just a browser. This is what Sergey wants – to keep it simple.
But this is too simple and really only fits the netbook market. There is no way I could run Google Chrome OS as my main operating system on my workstation or laptop. I could see running this on a netbook where you pretty much only need a browser.
As is – this will never compete directly with Windows and OSX. In this current iteration it’s only usable on netbooks. I was hoping for something revolutionary but got something overly simple. I expected to spend a couple hours reviewing it but it only took 10 minutes.
It’s a browser people – that’s it.
