If it’s true, Google should rethink its strategy. Chrome OS, a browser-based operating system that stores all of a computer user’s applications and data online, is a bit too fanciful for today’s mobile-Internet reality, which isn’t always reliable.

“Chrome OS was developed for highly and persistently connected devices,” says IDC mobile analyst Susan Kevorkian. “In that context, the device and the operating system are highly reliant on a dependable connection. But the reality for many consumers today, even with mobile broadband, is that connectivity isn’t as reliable as we’d like it to be, either for Wi-Fi or mobile broadband.”

If Google is planning to launch a tablet device in the near future, it should bypass its embryonic Chrome OS and instead go with Android, the company’s other mobile operating system that’s taking the smartphone market by storm.

Android, by comparison, is a more pragmatic solution for today’s wireless world. “Android is the most viable media-tablet operating system to compete with Apple’s iPad. It has many of the right elements, including an app store associated with it,” says Kevorkian, who adds that IDC’s conversations with mobile device vendors indicate that Chrome OS isn’t a viable option for today’s tablets.

“We think it would be wiser for Google to pick its battles and put all of its chips behind Android at this point,” Kevorkian adds.

According to PCWorld, Google, of course, hasn’t announced plans to introduce a Chrome OS-based tablet. But a report this week from tech news site Download Squad predicted that Google-branded Chrome slate could arrive in time for the holiday shopping season.

Even so, facebook downplayed the issue, telling that no more confidential data been compromised.

The truth was posted by Ron Bowes, an online security consultant, on the Internet site Pirate Bay to highlight privacy issues, the BBC reported.

Ron Bowes used code to scan the 500 million facebook profiles for information not hidden by privacy settings. The resulting file, which allows people to perform searches of various different types, has been downloaded by at least 1,000 people.
