We're still trying to figure out exactly whats happening, but Google CR-48 Notebook owners, and even some people who just signed up to get one but haven't yet, started getting hit with dozens, and then over 100, emails this evening. It all started at around 12:23 am PST. Why? It appears that people were automatically added to this Google Group - http://groups.google.com/group/chrome-notebook-pilot-users - and then the emails started flowing every minute or two. And then many times a minute as people started posting asking for the spam to stop, which was then sent out to every member. One tipster unsubscribed to the group after over a hundred emails came in over 20 minutes. Another person said they got 89 in rapid fire before unsubscribing. We'll update with more info as we get it. Here are some of the messages being posted:
