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?

Get a Retina MacBook Pro.

Lets compare:

13" Chromebook Pixel
1.8GHz Core i5
4GB RAM
32GB Storage
5 Hour battery
Only runs Chrome
$1,299

13" Retina MacBook Pro
2.5GHz Core i5
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
7 Hour battery
Can run OS X, Windows, or Linux
$1,499

Seems to me that extra $200 gets you a LOT more bang for your buck. And if you don't care about the display then that same cash gets you a much better hardware spec'd laptop from many other places.

The 13" Macabook Pro Retina starts at $1499.

For that you get:

2.5GHz Core i5
8GB RAM
128GB SSD

And out of the box you can run OS X, Windows, or Linux.

So for $200 more than a Chromebook you get 4x the storage, and an actual OS and apps.

Seems a no brainier to me, assuming you HAVE to have a super HD display.

Sad part is they already have. No way Minecraft on Xbox 360 or iPhone/iPad is using Java.

On a Jailbroken iOS device you can also install "ProTube" which will play any video regardless of the uploader disallowing mobile playback (complete with a humorous "The content author has disallowed mobile playback. Click here to play anyway" message). It also allows for downloading of videos, or even just the audio.

Well, you can always use Khan Academy on your tablet or phone - no flash needed.
