Still no word on general support for GNU/Linux, but x86 or ARM, what's the difference? (If you're ok with DRM at least.)

What do you mean? Their products are easily accessible DRM free.
Jeez with the number of times The Pirate Bay and the rest of them get mentioned on Slashdot I'm surprised more people don't know about torrents. :P

It brought all my bookmarks on to his machine!. So I deleted them in his machine, then they were also gone from my account in my Chromebook. Not only that all HIS bookmarks were on my machine. I deleted them. Then I found all my saved web passwords were on his machine! This screw up after bragging about two factor authentication.
You didn't disable Sync on his machine before deleting?
