Free Google Chrome Netbook

[8mpg]

Well, late to the party but you guys might try and sign up...its free. They dont spam you, they dont tell you if you are getting one, it just shows up at your doorstep. Here is the link...they need beta testers..cant beat a free netbook

I signed up for 2 and it looks like I might get them. Both zipcodes didnt have any until I signed up for them, then then one was shipped to each zipcode.

Some guy on slickdeals has developed a tracking system. You can search your zipcode and see if any are heading your way. No guarantees. I love the fact that Google doesnt tell you if you are getting one...it just shows up.

Tracker:

Just for reference...they have shipped damn near 14,000 of them. If no one in your zipcode has signed up, it seems you have a pretty good chance.

Again...sign up if you want. Its free and they wont spam you with anything.

If it's $199 or less, it'll be a big hit

I signed up but the tracker will not load at my house.

Why does Google want to force people to use Google chrome OS a web connected Cloud OS instead of a complete full OS like Windows, OS X or Ubuntu? The reason: They have the quest to become the corporation to become the Big Brother. Google wants to track everybody's home routers, internet passwords of their social networks, browsing habits, home addresses, etc, so they can sell this data to the governments of the world and other spying organizations (CIA, NSA, Military, etc). Some of you might already know which corporations and elite people groups are behind this evil quest. In my personal experience, I won't use Google products again, until they stop threatening the privacy rights of the people, until the lawmakers of all the countries of the world make laws which protect our privacy online and no Government or corporation can't invade our rights.
