  •  
    Google doesn't intend the Samsung Series 5 and Acer Chromebooks to be stand-alone computers. Chrome OS is getting a file manager and offline access for applications, but Chromebooks aren't low-cost notebooks. They aren't dumb terminals either. Chromebooks are thin-clients with the ability to function, albeit in a limited way, without a network connection.

To get ourselves in the mood for this show, we asked CNET fan (and Academy Award winner) Richard Dreyfuss if he'd help us out by doing a dramatic reading of the Apple EULA. He said yes.
