ArChon - Running Android apps in chrome under linux (and *others* too)

[Michael Butash]

Much the same here, only to end up a cup of fail with seeming typical 
inept intel gpu blocking any real use for gl function on the back end.  
Why must intel always purposely make the worst and yet most populous gpu 
ever?

I'll have to try this when not traveling to let rip against my ati gpu 
at home, and going to harvest some non-gl-based apk's from my phone later.
