Chrome OS devices can now act as programmable Bluetooth LE beacons

Business that use Chrome OS for signage and single-purpose kiosks can tap into new trick: Turning those devices into Bluetooth LE beacons to shoot web addresses to nearby potential customers. Google's Francois Beaufort notes that the feature is currently available in the Chrome OS Developer Channel for now, so it's not quite ready for prime time. It is a good time to experiment with beacons though.
