Crap, that's a lot of money. I guess it depends where you are in Europe, for example I pay the same money for 110Mbps with no download cap.

Google allows for it but in a lot of cases the validation of the email is quite poorly done and it doesn't allow for such an address.

As a romanian I can say that everyone wants Moldova to reunite but that is not going to happen since Russia is using Moldova as a buffer to Nato/EU.

Well actually I see it in another way: probably in a few years Intel will have an absolute monopoly in the X86 arena. If they would be the only manufacturer of the CPU and chipset they would stand to make a shitload of money without caring for their brand as people wouldn't really have any choice.

Submission + - Dell accuses Psion of "fraud" over netbook (pcpro.co.uk) 2
Barence writes: "Dell has issued court papers in the US, accusing Psion of fraudulently laying claim to the term netbook. Psion sent out warning letters late last year to PC manufacturers, retailers and bloggers alike, asking them to stop using the term netbook, which the company registered as a trademark in the late 1990s. But in a Petition for Cancellation of Psion's trademark, the PC manufacturer accuses Psion of abandoning the term and fraudulently claiming it was still in use. "Psion is not currently offering laptop computers under the Netbook trademark," Dell's petition claims. The petition also claims that Psion made false statements about its use of the term Netbook in a sworn declaration to the US Trademark Office."
