It's in the context of the Chromebook but probably it will be a general Chrome feature if it's to be useful.
This is great news for NaCl fans who have been mourning its limited potential due to its previously x86-bound nature.
The PNaCl project has been around for a while, but AFAIK
this is the first time Google have actually announced
it's going to be productized.

Can someone enlighten me about the Pepper API? Could I run a server with it? What would sort of limits does the network connection have? How many requests per second could it handle? How many simultaneous connections? What about bandwidth? etc. etc.

I wonder if Apple will selectively sue Samsung because it's a thin, rectangular, silver clamshell with black keys and a screen? (I like the Macbook Air btw)

Nice to see Google delivering on their promises here. I look forward to trying out PNaCl apps on Android in Chrome!

I'm sure Google's PNaCl ARM solution took this long only because they were waiting to have an easier technical time of it with A15 cores and hardware virtualization. My bet is that they've saved themselves a lot of hassle and gone with implementing a lightweight hypervisor for untrusted native code.

Does anyone know how these work without an active internet connection? Is there an offline / synch option? I think the folks who most need cheap computers are also the ones with the spottiest access...

This is a very big deal for that new $249 ARM Chromebook they just announced, right?
This means apps!?!

That's neat, but an odd thing to incidentally mention.
