I'm more interested in how many people are using PCs - I couldn't really care less how many new PCs are sold.
PCs last longer than they used to. Single-threaded performance isn't increasing anymore and multiple threads aren't being used that much, meaning performance gains are no longer a major reason for upgrades.
Also, a lot of what would have been laptop sales are now tablet sales.
Are you sure that's the right term? Somehow I doubt it's actually a recording
Yahoo has mobile applications? o.O
Moonlight is just reflected sunlight, you just need more of it to make the colours come out.
E.g. see http://www.flickr.com/photos/dansdata/3074862610/ for an example - this photo was taken under a full moon, 30 second exposure.
If there's a domesticated species taking advantage of humans my money's definitely on cats rather than dogs.
It depends what you do and how you work I guess. For me, two monitors is ideal - IDE maximized on one, and help file / reference emails / IRC windows etc on the other.
Remember though that current 30" monitors have the same horizontal res (2560) as the 27s - only the vertical res is (slightly) higher.
Dell U2711 or similar. 2560x1440 for great number of pixels, and if you want to use a higher DPI you still get a decent amount of information on screen.
I've tried 30" monitors and they were just too big, but for me 2x27" is perfect.

What happened to doing work first and then getting paid for it?
Why doesn't someone start a petition that's actually useful, like, I dunno, repealing the stupid 2nd amendment or something?
This actually is pretty stupid though. When you're driving in the country in Australia it's not like there are thousands of different main roads leading to a multitude of destinations. Once you get away from the east coast it's pretty sparsely populated and the major towns are signposted from hundreds of kilometres away. You would have to pretty wilfully ignore both the road signage and common sense to turn off the main road.
The 1880s were still deely gripped by puritanism, social stratification as being a good thing, institutionalized racism, and a very narrow and rigid view of what was considered "acceptable", and "proper".
Sounds just like the USA circa 2012!
A story about super computers and not one comment about a Beowulf Cluster??
Using hydrogen for childrens' party balloons would solve the problem and make things potentially much more exciting!
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
