I have a 11.6" Acer Chromebook and a 13" Macbook. The Chromebook is about perfect as a lightweight, no-maintenance laptop, and Google is gradually adding off-line support for Gmail and Docs, About the only reason I ever use the Macbook is for watching DVD's.

Can we also assume that the user had Admin privilages on the PC? Could the exploit have otherwise got control of the OS?

I need something to entertain my very energetic cat. Something like:

#!/usr/bin/python

fakemouse = Tux()
fakemouse.speak(TUXSOUNDS.squeak)
fakemouse.runAway()
fakemouse.hideBehindCouch()
