Hi - we had some contact via Chromebook Comm. re my sARMsung "stuck in Dev Mode". https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SteveAdams0/posts/UuPRjd569VN I'm not having much joy (as yet) with 2 very un-Ninja CB Ninjas. I'd be happy to share some of the email correspondence with you if you think it of value/worthwhile/interest. e.g. Despite me providing this Doc + Photos:  https://docs.google.com/a/northstar-consulting.co.uk/document/d/1c5Ac5YwatwQolCWTZB0u_6MdM9F8Qfs3Kk3-wmwU2qo/edit They are telling me I have a ChromeBox AND sending me standard powerwash/recovery instructions :( I may have found the Ninja B-Team! https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SteveAdams0/posts/UuPRjd569VN

Will the Facebook bubble burst in 2014? Everybody uses Facebook because everybody uses Facebook. But what happens when they don’t?  http://goo.gl/1GfKug Facebook’s position as the leading social network is based on “network effect” - its value in today's crowded social networking world is based entirely on mass participation, just like, say, the telephone system.  People don’t like Facebook.
