No one wants to use Native Client because it will tie the web to specific CPU architectures. Comparing this to ActiveX is appropriate in some way, because it puts additional restrictions on what devices can access the web. If Native Client had come of age at the same time as JavaScript, real smartphone platforms would be probably still not exist, since websites would require x86 processors to run. Intel has only recently announced x86 chips that can provide decent performance while fitting the power profile of a mobile device, and only after getting their ass kicked for many years as the mobile market has continued to grow.
Native Client works on ARM as well, but actually there is something called Portable Native Client, which is truly architecture-independent since it uses LLVM-bitcode as its binary format. Conceptually, you can think of Portable Native Client as the penultimate step in creating a Native Client binary. If you stop at the step right before you turn it into actual machine-specific instructions, you'll be left with LLVM-bitcode which is then distributed to clients. Before execution, the clients only need to complete that final conversion step to convert the LLVM-bitcode into actual machine instructions that are native to that particular client.
I don't need another device for doing "content creation". I already have one of those I use when I'm at work. When I'm at home or traveling, I want something light I can use to keep in touch with people and entertain myself; I'd rather carry an iPad than a 7 lb laptop.
That's the beauty of software; it wouldn't add any weight or bulk to the device.
All this concern people have about sending your document to Google so they can send it back to your printer is silly.
If you are using Google Chrome OS, your document already exists in the cloud. To print it, you will need a way to get it from the cloud to your printer.
On *nix, you must first type about:config in the location bar, and change the setting called middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false, otherwise middle clicking on a tab will trigger loading of a URL that's on the clipboard.
That doesn't mean that the speed of gravity is faster than the speed of light. The more massive an object is, the higher its escape velocity is. A black hole is defined as an object so massive that it's escape velocity happens to be faster than the speed of light, hence the black hole.

Watch closely how Sergey operates the glasses. The side of it is actually a trackpad.

I read it as "20 Lawnmowers Want to Kill Your Television" also.
I had visions of lawnmovers attacking televisions, and I was like, oooh! this story has got to be good. I was very disappointed.
