Android has a toggle switch to allow you to install from sources other than the Play Store. You can also enable Developer Mode just by clicking an icon (repeatedly).
Unlike Apple, where you're trapped inside unless you break out, Android provides a workable gate that can be opened and closed by the user.
The simple answer is Google's team has by far and away more resources and experience in vetting app malware than most people. That extra layer of scrutiny is valuable.
Why get a half baked OS when you can get a similar tablet with Android and a much larger selection of software, or just full Windows 10 that doesn't suck as much for a little more money?
Two words: Microsoft Office.
This has potential as an office-drone machine, where their entire workload revolves around Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a web browser. Granted, they'll have to allow Chrome because Edge isn't going to be acceptable.
Add on the other big Microsoft toys -- Visio and Project -- and they may have a hit in the corporate world.
Stop thinking Walled Garden and start thinking Gated Community. And yes, that most certainly is a component of the solution. There is a reason gated communities have less crime in real life. Having that extra layer of protection does help, even if you haven't upgraded the alarm, windows, doors, and locks on your own personal house.
Consider it a compensating control. There is no one Silver Bullet solution, including updates available everywhere at once. It would help, yes. But trying to frame this as an all-or-nothing problem is dooming it to certain failure.
Google isn't pushing the Chromebook, they're pushing Chrome and Google services -- the entire cloud experience. The Chromebook just makes it brain-dead simple for schools.
I think Google would be just as happy with Apple or Microsoft computer in there, as long as they were loaded with Chrome.
Do you actually work for a living? $100,000 a year doesn't equate to $8,333 a month in take-home pay. Try deducting FICA, Social Security, Medicare, and local taxes. That gives you about $4,600 take-home per month. Oh, don't forget insurance premiums and 401(k)/IRA contributions so you can one day afford one day in the far future to retire, so say $4,000 / month take-home.
Rent is more like $3,000 / month, then add electricity, water, trash, insurance, telephone, and Internet.
The rest, if you can find it, can be used to eat. God help you if you need to buy clothes, get anything dry cleaned, buy furniture, pay medical deductibles, etc.
Open source textbooks, reference material, and study guides are plentiful. Used textbooks are cheap. Amazon has a great service providing them.
Colleges and Universities frequently require the use of online, "digital learning systems", like Cengage. Access to that site, where the homework is, requires a subscription code that can be hundreds of dollars. A textbook without the "online access code" is a doorstop.
If schools are serious about this, they need to start pushing the use of Moodle instead of Blackboard, and providing high quality open source content including lesson plans, homework, and textbooks.
ChromeBooks support many offline apps. The app just has to rely on the Chrome browser for the interface. Considering that includes JavaScript and Flash, not to mention full HTML 5, that isn't much of a limitation at all. Caret is one of my favorites.
Anyone who claims they are the computing equivalent to a games console has not seriously looked at what they can do.
I love them, and am chomping at the bit for Samsung to release the Chromebook Pro.
While gov't can't CREATE copyright, they most certainly can HOLD it. Materials created by CONTRACTORS and not FEDS can be copyrighted with that copyright held by the gov't.
"We had a lot of tablets on our floor, and the tablets were being broken just by being dropped. And tractors are very tall machines when you're climbing on and off," Gullick says. "So we were looking for a solution that offered them more information in a more timely manner."
I'm not sure of the extent, but Bosch has reached a tentative settlement with the U.S. courts as well. As a Jetta diesel owner who accepted the buyback, I just received a postcard from the courts saying I'm automatically included in the Bosch settlement, unless I actively opt out. They'll be sending me a check for up to $350 once (if) the settlement is accepted by the courts. The hearing is on May 11.
Twitter is a proper noun, so capitalize it. And there should be a comma between "Twitter" and "right". There should also be a comma between "petty" and "little", as they both are adjectives describing "bitch". And finally, some punctuation after the second sentence. From your tone I'd suggest an exclamation point, but a period could also be acceptable if you want to imply exasperation instead of passion.
If the C-Suite wants to give the responsibility to IT for security decisions, they can start by losing their "I have to have this cool gadget, but there is no business justification" toys.
They can also stop demanding to be exceptions to any security policy that inconveniences them, like full-disk encryption, local administrative rights, multi-factor authentication and complex passwords.

After reading thru the TRO, it seems to rest on a violation of due process, which itself would be a violation of the 14th Amendment.
The fourteenth amendment to the constitution is not confined to the protection of only citizens. It says: "Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
In short, the President seems to have the authority to such restrictions, however he must still follow due process. Anyone already issued valid visas, green cards, etc. can't be summarily barred by fiat and those permits can't be revoked without following the legal process.
At this point we've strayed from the original comment, which was the judge didn't know the law and are down to opinions about whether the extent of the TRO was too broad.
I certainly see your point, but take a different position. i see the TRO as the only effective remedy simply because the Administration has been issued confusing and contradictory guidance so nobody really knows what it means. The TRO gives them time to get their shit together, and it can be lifted literally minutes after the Administration issues clear guidance that satisfies the judge in not being potentially illegal.
As you pointed out, the language of the EO itself seems to be perfectly fine (in our humble, non-legal scholar opinions). It is just the guidance given in its enforcement that seems to have caused all of the chaos and legal troubles.
From your own quote they owe allegiance, even though only temporary.
The alien, while domiciled in the country, owes a local and temporary allegiance, which continues during the period of his residence. Carlisle v. U.S.
That quite possibly may be good enough, and would seem to need further clarification by the courts, which in turn along with the economic harm to the complainants, along with the demonstrated confusion by the Executive Branch, seems enough to justify the TRO.
Not without digging through court precedent, and I'm not that motivated. I can see there is ambiguity, but will let the lawyers fight this one out and do all the research. I am interested in how it comes out, though it is mostly just idle curiosity.

Granted, this could already be implemented with proper application whitelisting policies, but that takes real work...

Because the vast majority of people get healthcare through their employer or provided by the government and don't have to explicitly purchase it?

Responding to myself because I was in error. The relevant section speaks to permanent allegiance, not temporary.

Third paragraph in the introduction section presented by the AG of WA directly address the impact on legal, permanent residents.
Note the AG only requested restraint on portions of the order. First paragraph, second to last sentence.
I followed the link to the PDF in the summary. Filename AGOWA-Trump-TRO.pdf
