You think "the web" is a walled garden? Or is solely devoted to content consumption?
I can create YouTube videos from my Chromebook, for instance.
I'm never getting rid of my Windows desktop machine. Like, never. But I'm never getting rid of my Kindles, either. They're totally, completely different from each other. My Chromebook fills its own niche, too.
- DanBC 13y agoI wouldn't use the term "walled garden", but Chromebooks are almost perfect for me. The only thing stopping me getting one is my terrible Internet. (Which will go in 2 or so months). Once I have no Internet I'm not sure I can do much with a Chromebook. Unless I've put some other Linux on it. But at that point I may as well screw an RPi to the back of my monitor.
- angersock 13y agoYou do appreciate that, by posting videos to YouTube, you are sharecropping someone else's walled garden?
- VikingCoder 13y agoWe're debating the capabilities of a Chromebook. Using purely web APIs, I can upload a video to YouTube. Any other web page could use the same APIs, and then you're not in a walled garden.
