A Walk In The Cloud: My First Day With Google’s Chrome OS
- riprock 16y agoI applied for the chrome netbook the other day through the pilot website and I was surprised there was no "landing page" after you hit submit saying "thank you for applying, etc." It just posted to the same page with no error messages, no nothing. Was it like that for everyone or did my application not go through? Just kinda concerned because there's no confirmation of any kind.
- spicyj 16y agoThat's what I got as well.
- LordLandon 16y agoThere is a thanks-for-applying page; apparently, that's botched up error handling - that text box needs to have < 140 chars.
- riprock 16y agoedit: You're right there is a landing page.
- jacquesm 16y agoJudging by the comments on that thread I think that it was a pretty safe bet when google scrapped Wave that people were going to be more skeptical of google announcements in the future. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1575928 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1575928 Of course, free hardware is never bad, I wonder how long it will be before some enterprising character figures out a way to put UNR on it, I've heard Chrome-OS be described as a scaled down Ubuntu so this should not be all that hard.
