I believe you can sign in as a guest, but it won't save your browser settings. Since ChromeOS is all about having data "in the cloud" and keeping as little mutable state on the computer as possible, I guess this makes sense.
Can we coin an abbreviation for "in the cloud"? I put it in quotation marks to avoid the unconscious eyerolling that I do when I use that phrase in a non-ironic fashion. "ITC"?

- jrockway 14y agoGoogle's data centers are slightly more reliable than the average laptop hard drive.
- gouranga 14y agoBut are they as reliable and available as a laptop and a USB stick? That's a hard one to prove.
- mtgx 14y agoI assume they make back-ups all the time, so yes. Definitely more reliable for most people.
