Can. To do this, you can create an extension that uses NaCl .

Naturally not. Let's also allow random access to files and sending arbitrary packets over the network.
So for now, you can only communicate with a fixed set of devices: speakers, mouse, keyboard, monitor, microphone, camera ...

You can organize a local server and send commands from chrome via http. I think you can somehow thread and through plugins.
