The reveal of Google’s Chrome OS has been the biggest thing to happen in the tech world in a long while. The guys are talking about Google’s approach of reducing the computer experience down to a browser. Paul is the most positive, as usual, but even he is not sold on an OS that is based around a model that caters to consumption, with very few concessions made for any substantial creation. He wrote an editorial and has a video walkthrough of the early open source Chromium release that gives a feel for what the OS will be like.

AT&T is not happy about Verizon’s latest push against them in the ad space, but they have not had too much success in fighting them legally. So they have released a new ad starring Luke Wilson, and it is a little hard to not feel bad for bath Luke and AT&T here.

The whole final segment is spent talking about the recent redesign of Engdget.com. The aesthetic experience has been revamped, and there is a larger focus on making it easier to know what is new and notable on the site. If you ask us, it is a nice update that brings Engadget into 2010. We may just takes some cues from them if we ever get around to doing a full redesign.

It’s been a crazy weekend, and we’ll have the latest episode of The Engadget Show up to prove it soon enough, but for now we thought you might still be interested in the podcast we did live on Friday from within the hazy mist of show prep and Chrome OS assessment. Sure, you might not be used to getting a new podcast on a Monday morning, but we’ve heard that a technology podcast replete with bizarre exchanges with live audience members via chat and many vitamins and minerals can be a vital part of a healthy, well-balanced breakfast.
