Was that linked to Google's Chromebook site, or a third party manufacturer?

A single link to a product being designed by Google, when the product in question (a Chromebook) uses the same product (Chrome) as it's primary interface is hardly 'ZOMG! Chrome is running the ads now!!!'.

It's directly related to Chrome and Google is simply saying 'here's another way you can experience the browser you're already using that we came up with'.

Those are Chrome apps. The ad is above the icons.

Yeah, but they are GOOGLE Apps for Chrome. Others have Chrome apps too, no?

They are apps he has installed. You don't call the Internet Explorer icon on Windows an "advertisement" do you?
