It's pretty odd, all the PlayStore APIs are done via https, but then the download is http. No idea why they'd do that.

Google PlayStore does NOT use https for actual downloads (check your own WiFi logs). So in theory, if you were connected to an insecure/public WiFi network someone could intercept your download request and replace it with a compromised download using available WiFi auditing tools.
Considering the original Cray XMP ran at 105MHz and had 16MB RAM, yes. But in 1982, those specs were just wildly insane.
Do you have a non-biased not-crazy-person source?
It's Apple's Game Center iOS has had since iOS5?
Considering OS X has a much higher share VS. Linux, and the fact that Safari is used on hundreds of millions of iOS devices...your comment is...full of shit?
Yes, people who bough $product that differs from $YourPreferredProduct are "iDiots".
Never mind that this happened during the iPad 1 era, when there was essentially no other player in the tablet market.
And OS X is an OS, and Chrome is a web browser (no matter how much Google pretends it isn't).
And they have nearly identical screens.
2560x1700 (Chromebook)
2560x1600 (MacBook)
So yes, it still makes far more sense to get the MacBook for $200 more to get the much faster CPU, 2x the RAM, and 4x the storage, and a legitimate OS.
When that "Core i5" is only 1.8Ghz and dual core, and when it has only 32GB of storage, and no a web browser for an OS, then yeah, it's just an overpriced NetBook.
Except for only a $200 difference the 13" MacBook Pro Retina is giving you a much faster CPU, 2x the RAM, and 4x the storage right out of the box.
You know Google is full of shit on the pricing when they make Apple look reasonable by comparison.
How so? The 13" Retina MacBook Pro does costs $200 more, but for that $200 you get:
2.5GHz i5 instead of the Chromebook Pixels 1.8GHz i5
Double the RAM (8GB)
4x the Storage (128GB SSD)
Longer battery life
Seems to me it's the Chromebook that's a ripoff here.
If you'd gladly pay that price for the screen get a Retina MacBook Pro, and then put whatever OS you want on it.
$200 more than the Chromebook Pixel, but you also get MUCH better hardware (double the RAM, 4x the storage, and much faster CPU).
Apple makes a $1299 computer that can only run a web browser?
