Chromebooks have always been great if you can do your work with web apps (and now Android and Linux apps). But most people still find themselves keeping a separate Windows machine for specific tasks. That might change soon. The “AltOS” feature first started appearing in Chrome OS commits back in April. Those first commits revealed […]

The one primary weakness is a physical one, but Google is making moves to fix that, too. There’s a malicious USB tool called a Rubber Ducky that emulates a keyboard and has the capability of injecting up to 1000 […]
