> But what if there were a new device that costs less than $100 that JUST does cookbooks and other things I need in the kitchen? I would buy one. A Chrome OS is all that’s needed for such a specialized device.
So someone would deliberately cripple chrome to prevent you being able to access the net on it? What a genius idea! What about an Amazon kindle that can only ever read one book? This is surely the author's vision of world with a simple UI for everything. No longer will users have to twist their brains to conceive of getting all sorts of information through the one device.
Somehow I don't see this as being in the spirit of what google has in mind. I'm sure you could configure it to start of on a recipe site/content and package it as a cookbook for those who are not so tech savy. But totally crippling a general purpose device is a terrible waste of resources and is not the way forward IMHO.
