My first thought was: Are they getting a pound of C4 too?

Google's shareholders wouldn't give a shiznit if it would crack the planet in half, as long as it isn't their daughters getting raped and the price of their stocks don't drop.

i was thinking more along the lines of wasting of their money

Now these are computers that need to have a backdoor for the NSA.

Building the Chromebooks was where the money got wasted. The tax deduction they'll take for their 'altruistic' donation is where the shareholders get their payoff. And a warm fuzzie for feeding a wild animal.

but of course... what WAS i thinking???

Oh yeah. Educational courses. And after they finish their “beginning German” course, they can burn down their housing because internet is too slow for their pornography. Nothing beats a good porno after studying jihad all day.
