Re: [OT] My first impressions of Chromebook

Click on the wrench, then About Chrome OS, and in the top bit of text in the dialog that appears is a More Info link, click that. You then have the choice of setting Stable, Beta, and Dev - Unstable. I'm on that one! On Jun 21, 2011, at 5:25 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: > I couldn't find the devel

Re: [OT] My first impressions of Chromebook

One other thing, when announced, Google mentioned they are not discouraging hacking the Chromebooks. So, I would imagine someone will figure out a way to run *some* sort of apps locally. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please v

Re: [OT] My first impressions of Chromebook

Re: [OT] My first impressions of Chromebook

I take it you know there's a developer option in settings, where you can get OS updates as they happen? Not sure if that does the offline thing yet, I'm just doing an update now. On Jun 21, 2011, at 3:59 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: > Google is planning for offline mode by the end of the summer.

Re: [OT] My first impressions of Chromebook

I have mixed feelings about chromebooks. I tend to place them in the same category of netbooks and then they lose the competition but I know they are a whole different thing with a different purpose.
