come now troll, you are aware that their cheapest notebook is 1k right? and you are aware that tablets are typically MORE expensive than a comparable notebook that doesn't have tablet functionality right?

no way in hell they will ever sell something that cheap. i predict the next iphone will cost something in that range. then again... maybe the next iphone will be their idea of a "tablet pc"

I'm really not sure why this is news worthy. Recycled water has been around forever. When I was a little kid I was first introduced to recycled water when my city decided to start a reclaimed water system to be used or lawn irrigation. This was to help stop our aquifer from being depleted so quickly for frivolous stuff like watering the grass. When they proposed this new system one of the water treatment people drank a glass of recycled water to prove to everyone that it was completely safe and would not pose any heath risks to kids playing in sprinklers or drinking from a hose. I'd also like to ask, how do people think submarines stay down for so long without coming back up for 10,000 new bottles of Evian bottled water every few days? (yes we have distilling plants on board most ships to convert salt water to fresh but many also have water treatment/recycling plants as well)

god damn it! every time a show starts to actually pick up steam and get good they throw it off the air. how can they leave us with a cliffhanger like that?!

during the zombie apocalypse there is only one sure fire way to keep your castle safe. that's an acid moat. nuff said.

and extortion

great... as if i don't have enough to worry about when driving to work on my motorcycle. now i have to watch out for nimrods trying to watch a movie on their iPod while driving. i can't wait :|

i was just making a satirical generalization to negate your gross over generalization about geeks not wanting to pay for stuff they can get for free. i do not assume that all geeks are criminals.

geeks wouldn't care that it is not open source software, they'll just pirate it anyway.

I'm all for the advancement of science as well. and hey, if i have to sacrifice a little in order to help future generations i'll gladly do that. i would have never joined the military if i wasn't willing to put my butt on the line for others. ;)

who says you have to give them your real name? i personally just signed up to be involved in this project. i'll update my comments once i see what they require from you. if they want your full name and SS# yeah i'd probably assume it could be misused but if they just want a health history to go with your dna i don't see the harm in that.

Frankly i'm quite pleased that the Wolfram team came to be. its about time that people introduced new ways to search for information, thus spurring innovation from other search giants to keep up. i'm very excited to see what pans out from both sites, it should help me a lot with finding info for my papers. :)
