I don't know if it's at all related, but Wil Wheaton is saying on G+ that he's having Chrome crap all over his day too. Don't know any details, so it's not terribly helpful, other than to say you might not be the only one experiencing this.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chrome on his phone?
I got the phone up long enough to back up a couple directories and then did a factory reset. I'll spend the next couple days putting it back together, but at least it's not softbricked anymore.
I love when Gizmodo goes off the rails. I mean, I'm sure there's some truth to the assertions, etc, but I love how they lead with the click bait.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do we have feelings about temporary or throwaway emails? I want to get rid of some things on Craigslist. Ridiculously I've used one of my address for Freecycle but that stuff can be just left outside and if it doesn't disappear, email the next contestant. I want cash monies for a few of these items.

FWIW, I like 33mail.com quite a bit.

I had a weak moment. I found a cheap HP Touchpad, and I bought it.
This makes four tablets I've handled--the iPad, Galaxy Tab, Thrive, and the Touchpad. I'm startled by how much the form factor varies between the first two and the latter two, but if I'd used either of them first, I wouldn't be thinking much about it.
The Thrive especially feels like it's supposed to feel that size. But the Touchpad is finished like the Tab or the iPad, so it feels oddly thick.
However, OS oops! What's integrated with WebOS looks plenty slick. I'm not mad at the OS. But, oh, mass developer support is what it's all about. Because I can't find anything else. This stock calendar is prettier than anything I've seen on iOS or Android, but there's nothing else to run on it! Anything I'm curious about, comes at cost.
My plan is to use it as a media player, and yeah, I was probably going to dual boot CM9 anyway, but I did want to see how far I could go to that end in WebOS, and...nope. Still looking for an AVI player. I found uPNP, but I've been storing in AVI for Android this whole time. So far, I don't even think I can play the same formats on both tablets.
So maybe I'll be installing CM9 sooner than I'd thought.
