Why would you pick one up? Why not simply download chrome. Having a cd is just going to be obsolete by the time you get home. Doesn't make any sense. If you're reading hn, you're probably already quite capable of downloading and installing the software.

It's like how the Chrome download on Google's site is actually for an installer that will itself download the latest version of Chrome.
- recursive 14y agoYou can download chrome. Not everyone knows how to do this, or even that it is possible.
- dr42 14y agoYes, there are probably some people that cannot figure out how to download chrome, but those people would also not likely notice any difference between chrome and the browser they already have. I was referring to the person that commented, reading hacker news probably means this person is both aware and capable of downloading it. It's just a waste of resources.
- Newky 14y agoThey look great. They have no function, no reason why I can't download the software and I regularly do, but is there not something nice about having a nice case for software like this. Similar to the way I like to buy physical books for those books which I think I would like on my bookshelf. as a p.s anyone feel like bundling vim into a nice case for me? :P
