I'm with you, only I read on my tablet pc. Read books in fullscreen, portrate mode, take notes by directly writing on the screen with a stylus and have a full computer resources to search the web or do tasks like music playback in the background. Now that, is reading!

I use my tablet pc for reading since 2 years ago. Notice that there are far more to reading using a "computer" than just displaying a document on screen. With my tablet pc I can display any document format, take note on screen with the stylus (OneNote rules!), when facing an iteresting idea check wikipedia, listen to music in the background. I can do all that in bed and no, it doen't generate too much heat and is virtully silence. The bonous is that this is my main laptop computer as well so I don't need to worry about storing documents on multiple systems and synchronizing them. Yes, it is a little bit tick but not ticker than most text books that I read on it!

As far as I understand that guy was modding consoles to run pirated games released on DVD and similar media not xbox live games! In fact, I've never heard of someone pirating games published exclusively through xbox live.

My favorite list: Switzerland, Netherland, Finland, Sweden, Norway. I would love to live in Switzerland myself: I love the direct democracy there, the peaceful people and the beautiful nature and very high standard of living. Another option is to become really rich! Rich people enjoy much more freedom all over the world!

You've got a point. However in many countires after living for a few years you can become a citizen.

Damn!! so many typos!

Oh yeah, why bother with science and adventure? In case you didn't know, this insanity runs in the Piccard family for generations.
This guy is Bertrand Piccard, is the first man to go round the globe non-stop on a balloon. His father was Jacques Piccard, the first man that used a build and used a capsule to go down the Mariana Trench, the deepest point of the world's oceans. His grandfather was Auguste Piccard, the first man to build and used a balloon to go to the stratosphere, setting a record of 23,000 m (72,177 ft). Not to mention the other branch of the family, Jean Felix Piccard, Jeannette Piccard and Don Piccard who were also famous aeronauts and balloonists.

I also liked the mouse-over preview. It is badly needed in Google. Sometimes I have to click on tens of search results in Google just to close them right away. Considering that sometimes linked websites are quite slow, this process of click, quick look, close could be very boring. The results so far are comparable to Google to me. I'm going to use it for a while to evaluate it better but so far it is promising.

Maybe the stupid thing here is the number of people driving SUVs and trucks in US?

300 years BC and you call it news? Good job Slashdot!

Sorry but this is B.S. Shortcuts are there and are actually more accessible than before. Just hold the ALT key and you can "see" them.

I won't say IE8 is on par with Firefox but I use it too. On my tablet PC it simply performs better than Firefox or others. On my desktop I prefer Firefox though. And yes, I too have problems with IE8 and slashdot.

Why ARM? Wouldn't it be easier to use atom instead so that the same x86 software can run in both power modes? Considering all other power consuming components of a laptop, using ARM instead of atom would not significantly reduce the total power consumption of the system.
