Internet search giant Google has lifted the lid on its operating system, known as Chrome OS.

The free and open source system is initially aimed at low-cost netbooks and does away with many of the features of a traditional program.

Engineers from the firm said the first computers running the system would be available before the end of 2010.

“We are trying to offer a choice for users,” said Sundar Pichai, vice-president of product management, during an event at the firm’s headquarters in California.

In addition to fair usage policy and unable to download through torrent during the day, I am very surprised that Maxis has resorted to blocking a certain website. At this moment I found out it is only davidmovie.com. There are possibly many more website that they block. This is not inline with what the government said earlier that they will not block the internet.
