    who knew that an impossibly cheap computer was harvesting your data with a butchered open source operating system with a lot of closed-source stuff added to it?

    sounds familiar…

    Give it a few years in Chromebooks are going to be ecosystems that are filled with advertisements.

    So many teachers use ad block and YouTube to teach students things in classes.

    YouTube does a really bad job regulating what ads get served to what users.

    I think we’ve got a few hilarious PR nightmares looming.

    google should not be allowed anywhere in healthcare. OR strict restrictions and full tansparency of the company should be required.

    Honestly if you’re a caring parent, don’t let your child come near a chromebook.

      I can tell you’re not a parent. School systems choose these things without consulting us. Parents don’t have much say in it. There isnt an opt-out.

      So by your statement, because I can’t afford to send my kid to private school, I must not be a caring parent.
