Spending $3.5 million of somebody else's money to 'acquire' a million of your own seems to me a perfectly acceptable ROI!

I take the $3.5 million figure with a grain of salt. I suspect it's a little like the amounts they state on drug charges. It probably costed less than $1 million in electricity charges, maybe even less than $500,000. The rest is only what they could have potentially charged at the maximum possible rate to their customers for using their gears.

Indeed, and nobody will ever need more than 64 bits!

I guess this saves it just a little bit although, the main part about mouse and keyboard shortcuts, not some much IMHO:

The company also added per-app language preferences for Android apps that you're running in ChromeOS, and it says it has made its offline text-to-speech voices more natural-sounding. As is Google's way, these updates will be rolling out over the next few days.
