The real controversy is the lack of communication to the owners of the devices. They should be fully informed of this 'innovative technology' so they can spend the $40 to get a new battery installed, instead of giving up and buying a new iGadget.
Many companies don't allow employees to use cell phones while on the clock. Which has nothing at all to do with government. At the workplace, you're paid to follow the directives of your employer, or you can go find another job.
Most school children of ages 8-10 go to a primary school in their neighborhood. On the walk home from a neighborhood school there has seldom ever been a series of pay phones.
I guess if you live in a shit urban area this may not have always been the case.
Why google should be allowed to not allow that is a better question.
The idea that school districts should be tossed to the mercy of Microsoft 'or else' is rather obscene.
An enterprising group of hackers just needs to crack the google chromebook app server connection and figure out how to mirror a server on a local network.
You should have transitioned from Slackware to NetBSD (or FreeBSD) twenty years ago. The transition from Slackware to the BSD init system is very smooth.
It will make the 'strange news' story heading on most mainstream news pages when Poettering is killed with a dull screwdriver to the throat by some random sysadmin on a Friday evening on a public street near the coffeehouse he frequents.
Anybody with unix experience will wonder why the hell it got put under the 'strange news' heading.
In Education, they got a cheap gadget that pupils can use for their schoolwork. It should be possible for School Districts to host all the 'stuff' that a Chromebook needs on a local wifi based network. The Chromebook apps should all be pushed from the local network and it should be possible for the school district to unplug from the Internet as a whole, or strictly firewall it, to maintain an enclosed learning environment.
And if attaining a meaningful sample is impossible? How do we determine what is a meaningful sample? By sampling the sporatic data available, some only preserved due to fluke events?
Most of the traces of past nature are ground up and not preserved. The fossil record is based on quirk events that preserved an odd sample of a species here or there. I.e. a sudden landslide that preserved a dinosaur carcass so it wasn't consumed and recycled by other animals and plants in the genome. The same is true for trace samples of forest fire activity.
Small source renewables are fine. For low-density population areas.
Do we kill all the people in the big cities, or do we just frog-march them out to the countryside? Pol Pot might have some suggested methods for you leftists.
My smart watch sends out an audible alarm if I wander out of range of my smart phone. It's to protect me from forgetting my phone somewhere and becoming untrackable. It could become dangerous, like 1988 was, if I am unable to immediately make an emergency call any time I need to.
I like the idea of using 60 pounds of lead acid batteries. You need to have heavy duty dolly wheels on the luggage, but boy does it give those goons in TSA and the baggage thieves out on the concourse a workout.
When the population increases in an area, people are always driven to build more housing on the bad land. It's no surprise when 'expensive new housing' is flooded or beset upon by a hurricane. The 'bad land' is the places where there aren't already 100 year old structures.
The relentless assault of Galaxy Tabs, and Galaxy Notes. It's almost like the 'Assault of the IBM' that we fended off decades back. Hunder down under your iGadget and breeeeaathe sloooowly. It will be all right.
If the flames reaches the Cuperino 'Heavens Gate' Spaceship Structure, it can simply take off and land again when it's safe.

Of course I believe in UFO sightings. How can people not see something merely because they haven't identified it?

Perhaps they could include a battery door so you can swap in a fresh battery at a small cost.
Too confusing. Apple gadget buyers are paying for a streamlined experience where they can know almost nothing about the technology they use.
This isn't an article about Samsung. Stop trying to deflect with irrelevant information.

You're presenting totally unsupported assertions. We'd need to see a few citations or references to cases of what you're being so shrill about.

Chaos. Don't be giving Bakunin a bad name.

DonÃ(TM)t you mean makes some popcorn?
Did you mean don't, but your poorly designed iOS device spattered punctuation bugs into your text?
Chromebooks are Linux based, aren't they?
The dumb children should learn to read the Man page. Right?
Or perhaps an info database should be made available. GNU info is a robust source of help, no?

The big difference is that currencies don't rocket up and down by a factor of 12. That's what speculative instruments do.
Until the bitcoin value stabilizes, it by defintion cannot be properly used as a currency and will not be accepted as such by the public.
It's a fun roller coaster ride, but not a practical means of travel, to extend a metaphor.

The new Tax Reform law will only add $1T to the debt if spending doesn't drop down to match the budget available.
The way to really kick the can down the road is just to keep Taxing and Taxing ever more.

The batteries in an iGadget are removable. Here, let me show you how, with this cold chisel.
