Perfect solution to laptop rage
We all get it from time to time, that irrational rage where a red mist descends and we're tempted to throw an unresponsive laptop from the roof. Exacting percussive revenge on electrical goods is technically pointless, but emotionally very cathartic.
In a fun site that demonstrates Google really do have a sense of humour, you can contact the Chrome OS demolab and interact with the technicians, only demo is short for demolition and the the technicians are a crazed bunch of nutcases with chainsaws, axes and even a gorilla. An IM chat window invites you to submit various methods of execution for a helpless laptop.
Once the Google team have destroyed your victim according to your instructions (I went for boiling it alive), the technicians present you with another machine to sacrifice, pointing out how quickly you can be up and running again with Chrome's new operating system which launches and is ready to use in seconds.
Operating systems are always going to be difficult to make "cool", but this site makes for perfect lunchtime wasting activity. Admittedly I was a little disappointed when I asked for my laptop to fed to the dogs, only to find it beaten to death by a gorilla, but you can't have everything.
Google on the other hand, can have everything. Chrome OS joins the list of Google products to launch to market recently. With phones, operating systems and tablets all released or on the way, one has to wonder what's next for the omnipresent tech brand. An online bank? supermarket? A fashion line?
Perhaps it's best not to think about it. Why not just visit the Demolab and get violent?
