Chrome Os first glimpse - Fake pictures

It seems as if more and more people get fooled by not checking properly their sources of information. The latest one having a big hype at the moment is the fake pictures of Google Chrome Os Private Developer Beta originated from the Chromeosleak blog, even several IT newspapers has being fooled, the norwegian ITavisen is one of them. It's funny to see that the first comment made about the article by a reader is stating the fact that it's all fake but eventhough the comments keep coming in, why don't people bother reading?

You could also try the different distibutions by installed virtual machine software like vmware player or Suns Virtualbox, if you don't like the distribution just delete it and go on "hunting".
