links for 2010-05-05: Apple's control freakishness; Chrome update; SOA embraced; Android tablets; Solinsky AR splits

• The upside to Apple's control freakishness - I like this from Tim O'Reilly: "It is becoming increasingly clear that the Internet is becoming not just a platform, but an operating system, an operating system that manages access by devices such as personal computers, phones, and other personal electronics to cloud subsystems ranging from computation, storage, and communications to location, identity, social graph, search, and payment."
• Google Chrome update: Speed, performance and a deeper push into browser computing - Upgraded, still had it freeze on me once, but now it pops up a dialog telling me what page is the culprit and I had Flash enabled at the time.
  
• Just as vendor-speak turns from SOA, the users are actually embracing it - No surprise here.  Vendors and analysts are always talking about the next great thing while there is a lot of money to be made just delivering and implementing the last thing.
  
• Android based tablets on their way - Already running Flash and Air.
• Chris Solinsky's splits from his 10000m AR - It appears he could have run faster with more even pacing!  Bodes well for his 5000m AR attempt at the Pre Classic in July.
