I believe Google are doing to make sure that the customer knows exactly what makes a chromebook different from a standard laptop.
Would you rely on a computer store to with a completely new type of device?

Also the retailer can't sell additional services, no MS Office, no anti-virus etc so they would probably try and steer the consumer into buying a standard laptop.

What about searches that were a mistake and corrected.

I admit that sometimes I use google as a spell checker and never click through to a page. I'm sure other people do this.

Surprising how much it looks like the wiiu controller. I wonder if Sony plan to have similar connectivity with the PS3.

I get a world of warcraft phising attempt once a week. Funny thing is I don't even have an account and have never played the game.

Same reliable news as usual...

The problem with this is that you can then end up creating two different systems that do the same thing, yet are not compatable.

I'm sure Microsoft did something like this when they created live mesh and skydrive.

Obviously most people wouldn't be surprised that half those apps are dodgy, the real scary ones are the Scientific Calculator, Advanced Currency Converter as these sound like legitimate apps and you wouldn't think twice about installing them.

The only reason I got up early for school was so that I could get a couple of rounds of counter-strike in. It was also easier to get a slot on my favourite servers.

Microsoft was a lot more of a gaming company than apple is. DirectX, Age of Empires, Flight Sims etc.

But I'm running chrome 8.0.552.237 so clearly chrome is numbered, they don't need to call it anything else though as its automatically updated.

I changed all mine, then forgot what I'd changed them to. Now its just a race for who sends a reset email first. Slashdot won!
