Ok, now Google is just screwing with us...

A few days back, I came across some vendor-specific files on the public Git repositories for Google Chrome OS. Labeled for Acer, Dell, and HP, the files likely hinted at the fact that the big three OEMs were at the stage where they needed driver support for their Chrome OS hardware.

Yesterday, however, those files disappeared from the repo, and they're still missing today. They've been replaced with what you see above. Yes, either Google is having a little chuckle about this, or Chrome OS is going to run on hardware that was cutting-edge back when I was in elementary school.

Man, I knew I should've tried to fix my C64 instead of scrapping it!

So, who's up for a little Native Client Lego Star Wars on an Amiga? Pics or it didn't happen.

Drive co-workers mental with the Farty extension for Google Chrome!

There are plenty of apps for my iPod Touch that I'd like to be able to run on my desktop. You know what's tops on the list? A fart app!

No, not really. In fact, I can't imagine anyone bothering to create something like that -- but as we've seen with just about every other app store or extension repository, if an app is extensible, someone's going to code a fart add-on for it.

Google Chrome users can now get in on the fun(?) with Farty! Install the extension, wait five minutes, and your computer will let one rip. Oh, the hilarity!

Wait a minute...Actually, since it doesn't install a toolbar button this could be just thing to drive your Chrome-surfing co-workers insane. Sadly, it does cause a pop-up window to appear, but it's still a decent one-time gag.
