    Everything is going according to plan. Younger generations have had chromebooks in the school system for some time now. Every year, universities gain a new class, with shiny new laptops. And since those kids are already experienced with chromeOS they are willing buy one themselves. The younger generation is the better market. Google gained the user compatibility they needed for their operating system to compete with iOS and Windows. Now they are consolidating their brand identity into chromebook and chromeOS and pushing it to be commercially successful.

    TL;DR They aren't giving up, they are going all in (just as planned). They are essentially attaching keyboards to their tablets with a 360 hinge.

    Misfits season 1-2 unfortunately a key member of the cast departs between season 2 and 3 and the show quickly lost my interest from there.

    I think having policies that accommodate for corporate interaction within the community should be up for consideration. Rules should account for benevolent behavior just as much as it does for malevolent.

    They should have the responsibility of disclosing their identity within every post they make, with exception to comment chains that have descended from a post where identity has already been established, and is no longer necessary.

    Raffles should not be tolerated. Inciting participation or mentioning a website or web page out of the interest of garnering involvement with a give away should not be allowed.

    Redirection towards social media should not be tolerated.

    A companies presence should serve no other purpose besides the representation of self. Attempts to distinguish, romanticize, or glorify its self should not be tolerated.

    The expectation of compassion applies to us just as much as it does to them. Authenticity, validity, and competence are not antonymous with employment. There are people putting hard work behind companies and what they produce. Their insight on that work is something an entire community can benefit from harboring.
