Yesterday I applied for the Chrome OS Pilot Program, so pardon me while I nerd out for a sec. The deal is, Google has somewhere between 1 and infinity custom-built Chrome OS laptops. They’re calling them CR-48 (chromium, the element, has lots of isotopes. The Chrome devs chose the 48th isotope to be the namesake of this initial test. Crazy nerds.). Anyway, here’s the link to apply: http://services.google.com/fb/forms/cr48basic. See where it says “cr48basic” over there? I wonder if there’s a “cr48Awesome” or “cr48I’maBlowYourMind” pilot program. Probably not. I tried putting those in the URL instead of cr48basic, and got a 404 every time. Dang. But the CR-48 “basic” looks pretty awesome and will probably blow your mind anyway.
So, um, Google? Can I have one, please?
