Brandon Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've made a program that checks each reference number on the UPS site with a zip code to see if a package is coming. The last four numbers start at 1000 and increment from there. I probably won't release this publicly but I could scrape the city names from the pages to make a list of all cities receiving them. Would that be helpful or not? 61201? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

____ Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's actually a pretty impressive device, I thought I'd write it off as something to get your computer illiterate parents but Chrome 8 is faster on this than Chrome 9 on my Win 7 1 GHz Core 2 Duo notebook, and it maxes out at 13W vs 20W for my notebook. This thing just got the job as my main computer before 9pm when cheap electricity kicks in and I can power up the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneyardBrew Member Posted December 10, 2010 Member Share Posted December 10, 2010 Signed up...here's to hoping I get the chance to try one out. A lot of my computer usage as of lately has just been browsing the internet, Twitter, Facebook, and the like. I don't have any internet-enabled mobile devices or laptops, so I'm constantly strapped to my desktop. Being given the chance to test one of these out would give me quite a bit of freedom.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 10, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 10, 2010 Here is a question, do they support Java (not JS) and If so can you run Minecraft on it? It wouldn't have proper Sun Java, it's most likely have their VM which should probably run it ok (But that's assuming they provide a plugin to link it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Beautiful notebook. Looks like a black MacBook. 25 notebooks were harmed in the making of this video. Fortunately, no data was lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshBluebird Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Looks nice, not sure what I think though. For it to work, most of the apps need to offer offline mode (I know some do, but not all), and they need to sort flash out (from what I have read its pretty poor atm).

Nick H. Supervisor Posted December 10, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted December 10, 2010 Bah, with the exception of giga's (awesome) photos, I'm not able to see any of the shots because I'm at work. :( As far as a work tool goes I'm really intrigued to see how this progresses. But for the household...hmm, I'm not so sure at the moment. It does look beautiful though. That video was funny, although I noticed that with each new laptop he got the logo on the back was different. Is this the same for all laptops, or was it just a feature of the video to make us understand that he was using a different laptop each time rather than the same one? EDIT: For it to work, most of the apps need to offer offline mode (I know some do, but not all), and they need to sort flash out (from what I have read its pretty poor atm). I think someone in this thread mentioned 3G, so wouldn't that negate the need (or at least reduce the need) for an offline mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 61201? I just checked your zip code from AAC1000000 to AAC1002000 and there was nothing. Did it on my own zip code and found out someone else in my area must have received one! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallow Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I got an email on Tuesday saying I'm eligible for a Cr-48 notebook....Anyone else get that email? It was just a link to the signup page though...I want one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Jailbreak that thing and turn it into a Hackintosh! I was thinking the same thing. It looks like a matte black miniature MacBook already anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Surprisingly nice looking piece of hardware, it's a shame they won't be shipped out internationally as I would love to test one I'm thinking that the lack of an international option is due to the fact that they contracted with Verizon for the free 3G service on these, and Verizon doesn't do GSM.

I don't know about elsewhere, but 3G in the UK is awful. And even when you do have signal, it is no where near reliable enough to be used for web apps that rely on the internet connection.

Tanshin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I signed up on the site days ago and still haven't gotten anything. I use Chrome regularly and I never saw this invite popup box that everybody is mentioning. Just slightly irritating.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
