On certain devices (e.g. anything smaller than iPad) a redisplay browser allows you to read the web quicker and more effectively than a full browser.
Nice omission of detail there, buddy. http://intelsuperfundcleanup.com/
In early 1982, concern about widespread contamination in the area's shallow ground water led the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) to send chemical use questionnaires to over 2,000 facilities regarding the use of hazardous materials. Intel Corporation (Intel) was among the few questionnaire recipients that responded proactively by installing ground water monitoring wells adjacent to their underground chemical storage tanks. Intel also responded with a full inventory of all chemicals used in its operations.
Although it was evident by the late 1980s that the VOC contamination at Santa Clara 3 and Magnetics was minor, these sites became federal Superfund sites on the National Priority List (NPL) because they were among the handful of sites that had sufficient data to be evaluated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for inclusion on the NPL.
In other words, the Intel sites became Superfund sites because Intel, unlike so many other manufacturers, actually responded to environmental investigations with COPIOUS information -- such comprehensive information is rarely acquired, and so Superfund took this project under its wing mostly to praise Intel for their proactiveness. By omitting the relevant details you make it sound like Intel was injecting dioxins into aquifers or something like that.

The "shutdown" button isn't used to close the current window.
I've always wondered if a black background uses less energy on an LCD monitor than white.
If anything it would use a tiny bit more because the LCD default state is clear, with energy being required to turn it black. (This is why a digital watch shows no numbers if the battery is dead.) But the difference in power would be extremely minuscule.
Any shareholder who would invest in a company that actually perceived a duty to kill humans in pursuit of profit is a fool of an investor.
