Matt Says Goodbye – leaves Chrome OS “in good shape”

Posted by Nigel Mabandla On June 28, 2010 5 Comments

As often seems the case these days, another engineer has left Google for Facebook. Matt Papakipos was the head engineer for Google’s Chrome OS Project. He had been working with Google since 2007 when his start-up (Peakstreem) was bought by the Internet giant.

Even so it’s not all bad news for Chrome OS; it would seem that a brain drain, especially involving such a high profile individual would derail or hamper it’s progress. After-all Chrome OS hasn’t even been released yet. Well, in a recent tweet, Matt went on to dispel any such fears. In actual fact he hinted that Google’s upcoming operating system is more or less complete;

Now that Chrome OS & WebGL are in good shape, it’s time for something new. I’m going to work @ Facebook! Love the product and team. Woot!

According to official reports by Google, we should all be expecting Chrome OS to be complete by the end of September this year. Thereafter, Chrome OS powered devices should be selling on the high street.

when google is going to start its social network , I don't know what's the reason other than better salary and position. why google (as a high level costumer service company) don't do anything about this?

  Very interesting observation. I may be dedicating an article to this issue sometime soon. I myself have always wondered why Google never leapt into the social network market too. Such a move seems to be an obvious success.
  
  On the other hand I was on ebay the other day and I was wondering why Google never leapt into that market too. Surely they would blow ebay out of the water right?
  
  Well, I think the reason why Google hasn't ventured into all these seemingly obvious and natural territories is the logistical problems. The simple concept of "dis-economies of scale" are probably exactly why Google is choosing a more incremental growth trend rather than attempting to place it's foot into everyone's back garden.
