Chrome OS and Chromebooks are Unbreakable in 2013

I am still using my Cr-48 daily as my goto kitchen-table-top/counter-top device since Google sent me one back in December 2010 to test in their beta program.  In the recent Pwn2Own and Pwnium3 hacking competitions Chrome OS appears to be unbreakable.  "Linux triumphant: Chrome OS resists cracking attempts".  This is the primary reason why I like my Chrome OS so much.  It is inherently designed as a simple and secure cloud-based OS that is very difficult to break.

Based on these recent events and how well Chrome OS has survived, you get a warm-and-fuzzy feeling knowing that using a Chromebook is more secure than any other operating system that I know of today.  In my gadget infested existence today, I know that I use all these operating systems daily: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and ChromeOS.  Knowing that ChromeOS is so rock solid and near unbreakable gives me a really good feeling.

Chromebooks have been getting a lot of press the last few months also due to positive reviews of recent devices released into the market.  Linus Torvalds has been posting quite a bit on Google+ about his new Chromebook Pixel these past few weeks.  In addition several articles such as "Linus Torvalds really likes Google's Chromebook Pixel" acknowledge his viewpoints.  On a related side note, I am quite surprised how well my Cr-48 has stood the test of time and abuse being used around my house.
