Chromebit: Computer on a Stick
HDMI port dongle turns TV into a Chromebook for $100.
Google puts Chrome OS on your TV with its own HDMI stick essentially a Chromebook crammed in a dongle. This tiny little package contains a Rockchip 3288 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of eMMC memory, a USB 2.0 port, WiFi 802.11 ac support, Bluetooth 4.0, a Smart Ready controller and an ARM Mali 760 quad-core GPU.

It might make a fair to middling HTPC if it can be hacked to connect to more storage via SMB. Otherwise, Chrome OS is terrible. No, I DON'T want to give personal information to Google (or any other big pig corp) by default: I want to store and work locally. Nor do I want to stream all video from "ze clouuuds" eating bandwidth.
Wonder if it can run a less gimped distribution of Linux than ChromeOS. I know many if not all Chromebooks can run Ubuntu. It looks promising, but I'd rather have an Intel NUC or similar.

I've looked at a few of these things, looking for a web streaming option for my TV (besides Netflix, Hulu, etc... built into TV).
I may invest in one of these: iView Cyber PC Compute Stick Intel Atom Z3735F (1.33GHz) 2GB DDR3 32GB HDD Windows 8.1 - Newegg.com

It just seems like this is going to be obsolete in about 5 minutes flat. Also Google's push for cloud everything is only a bit creepy.

"You will be assimilated, resistance is futile..." What a prophetic line.
