Google has been working on a third operating system aside from Android and Chrome OS called "Fuchsia." We first read about it around August last year but details were pretty vague until now. Google takes on a different approach with Fuchsia. First, it is based on a new, Google-developed microkernel called "Magenta" unlike its two other siblings, Android and Chrome OS, that's based on Linux. The home screen is a giant vertically scrolling list much like Google Now cards. There was some sort of mass panic last night when Google was spewing a warning "this site may harm your computer" on all their search results. People search on Google were shocked and confused as if the search engine itself was hacked. Connie took a screenshot from her browser of what turned out to be human error from some engineers over at Google: The incident happened sometime between 6:30 a.m. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously.
