Post seems pretty dead, but here's my 2c...
From what I have heard, even your music will be on-line... I'm not to sure how it works in other countries, but here in South Africa we pay for every megabyte we use... The operating system might be free, but your data plan will kill you 7 times!
Also I agree with sysgate. My information on someone else's PC? I don't even like my information on my PC. And I know the information on my dad's PC could be sold for a couple of million if you know the right people. He will obviously be fired... But what if the could owner (Google in this case) realize they need a bit of money. Besides, with their searching technology, it won't be hard for them to get the best of files... Not that I'm saying Google is like that, but they could if they wanne.
I think the way they are compiling this new OS might spread to other Linux Distro's... Your PC might boot in 2 seconds, you login to your browser... Check your mail, start your favorite music player, all this while the rest of your OS is loading. I mean why not?
Allot of this is great, and allot of this will help us in other levels of engineering computers... But unless you have a full speed always active uncapped Internet connection... Its kinda pointless.
Other than that, I'm really interested to trying it out! Think its gonne be a unique experience...
Thats my 2c...

Finance::QuoteHist::Google(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Finance::QuoteHist::Google(3pm)
NAME
Finance::QuoteHist::Google - Site-specific class for retrieving historical stock quotes.
SYNOPSIS
use Finance::QuoteHist::Google;
$q = Finance::QuoteHist::Google->new
(
symbols => [qw(IBM UPS AMZN)],
start_date => '01/01/1999',
end_date => 'today',
);
foreach $row ($q->quotes()) {
($symbol, $date, $open, $high, $low, $close, $volume) = @$row;
...
}
DESCRIPTION
Finance::QuoteHist::Google is a subclass of Finance::QuoteHist::Generic, specifically tailored to read historical quotes from the Google
web site (http://finance.google.com/).
Google does not currently provide information on dividends or splits.
Please see Finance::QuoteHist::Generic(3) for more details on usage and available methods. If you just want to get historical quotes and
are not interested in the details of how it is done, check out Finance::QuoteHist(3).
METHODS
The basic user interface consists of a single method, as shown in the example above. That method is:
quotes()
Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Symbol, Date,
Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for that date. Quote values are pre-adjusted for this site.
REQUIRES
Finance::QuoteHist::Generic
DISCLAIMER
The data returned from these modules is in no way guaranteed, nor are the developers responsible in any way for how this data (or lack
thereof) is used. The interface is based on URLs and page layouts that might change at any time. Even though these modules are designed to
be adaptive under these circumstances, they will at some point probably be unable to retrieve data unless fixed or provided with new
parameters. Furthermore, the data from these web sites is usually not even guaranteed by the web sites themselves, and oftentimes is
acquired elsewhere.
Details for Googles's terms of use can be found here:
http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS?loc=us
If you still have concerns, then use another site-specific historical quote instance, or none at all.
Above all, play nice.
