Yaaaaaaay
Oh, this is brilliant.
I am 100% okay with Google taking over the universe.
I think I’m more than ok with Google taking over, I’d like it to happen.
Agreed. But if MuseBlog took over that would be even better!
This is completely brilliant, isn’t it?
I love all the jokes and puns!
Google is the funniest company I know.
This is funny. I think I needed the funnies.
As did I.
Wow. It was actually printed on paper like that?
Yeah.
Super cool paper airplanes! Made my night.
But did Piggy really make a super cool paper airplane out of it?
1. The paper’s too thick and badly shaped for airplanery.
2. Why would I want to bend such a masterpiece out of recognition?
Mm. Excellent points.
If Google ever starts designing an AI, I bet they will give it a sense of humor. (So long as we don’t end up with anything like Pintsize…)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
I was just thinking of asking whether anybody else got one.
Have you put Ubuntu on yet? Stock BIOS, mayhaps?
I haven’t got to the BIOS yet — I don’t especially want to have to take off the feet to get at the screws. :/
I’m fine with following the contract, actually.
Hey, they put a developer switch on for a reason. They expect, and have no trouble with, you putting custom OSes on.
It’s not like I’ve removed Chrome OS or anything — I still use it as the main OS.
For my usage, I have no reason to mess around with BIOS or anything. I have Ubuntu on my other laptop, if I want to use Ubuntu. I mean, it’s not like the CR-48 is an incredible collection of hardware. (Which reminds me: what specs does it actually have? I’ve been too lazy to figure it out.)
I was about to send you a link, but then I remembered that it’s not allowed here. It’s been a while.

Obviously there’s no /need/ to put other operations; I did it mainly just because I could. Developer mode is lovely for the use of the shell, though.
I haven’t bothered to put Windoze on and test games yet; we’ll see how that goes. Should be interesting, once I get my act together to taking off the bottom…
Out of curiosity, do you know if anybody else on the blog got one?
I think it’s just me and you.
Completely wonderful, Piggy. Congratulations.
This is wonderful, Piggy. Just informing you.
Thank you for the information. That was previously unknown to me.
