Chrome OS Arrives On the iPad — No, Seriously!
Thinkcloud writes "A user named Hexxeh has posted a video online of the iPad running Google's upcoming Chrome OS. Hexxeh was able to put Chrome OS on an iPad because the open source code for the operating system is available in its Chromium state, but it's not necessarily true that Apple will allow iPads to run other operating systems going forward. That's typically not a level of openness found in the Apple playbook. Nevertheless, it's worth considering what it might mean to have a robust OS like Apple's on the same tablet as one that runs a cutting-edge operating system like Chrome OS. Why wouldn't users love that?"
Yes.
And this one is quite as well, maybe a little bit too obvious:

Their "long-running battles" extend only to voiding the warranties of jailbroken devices.
No kidding!!! What do you say at this point?
Who modded you informative? If I have an iP* device, can I install apps from another store without jail breaking?
The people who modded me informative were ones who managed to complete reading my second sentence without getting tired and having to lie down for a nap. Some of them knew what the ad hoc distribution system was, others probably Googled it and went "oh, I see... You can distribute and install applications without using the App Store and without needing to Jailbreak. How Informative."
You probably stopped reading this a while back, but I'll leave it here for when you return from riding bikes or whatever the hell it is you ADHD kids do.
