Summary: Chrome home doesn't show articles, just "That's all for now", if privacy setting changed (was: Chrome home doesn't show articles, just "That's all for now")
I dug into this more and found the cause: if you go to settings > privacy and uncheck "Search and site suggestions - Use prediction services to suggest search terms and websites", the news articles go away.

Could the "That's all for now" message tell the user that they can get articles by enabling that privacy option? I thought that option was for url-bar suggestions.

That's a known issue, we'll hopefully get to it soon.
