This is what I hear from everyone I know who has one. I know of 7 people with Chromebooks, they either wiped Chrome off or left it getting dusty on a shelf, one or two given to someone else. I must state that none of these people bought their Chromebooks, they were given for free from Google.

So, does anyone actually know of anyone who has bought one? Why do they sell well on Amazon? A race to the bottom to release cheap hardware, Chrome OS machines being one of the only ones left as OEMs have learnt that racing to the bottom doesn't work.

I think we do in the UK. You're certainly not allowed to touch any cables or equipment that is beyond the demarcation box or master socket. Anyone?

I'm in the UK, I use these in my home. They take up far less space than normal 13A sockets.

Now, powerlock. One for the home.

I've never understood this. Same with HDMI/DVI. Why can HD-SDI transmit 2k uncompressed video and 16 channels of audio easily over a 200m reel of coax cable, yet HDMI wont go any further than 10m.

It still becomes a brick when you have no wi-fi or you don't have an over-priced GSM subscription.

I'm amazed that Amazon use human beings as pickers. I'm surprised it is not all automated.

Take Ocado as an example. 9 people work in each warehouse that is just as big as Amazons that employ thousands in each one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKpyPO76yZ4

I wouldn't class stress or depression as a mental illness, it is a physical one.

AC, at least the BBC have the balls to do this, unlike other commercial broadcasters.

I'm an Apple user and have only ever really looked in to UFI on a Mac, UFI has its own memory space, current Macs have 512MiB of DDR3 separate to the main memory. Also have 512MiB of DDR3 for networking too.

Interesting that the gigabit Ethernet controller on the latest Apple Mac's have 512MiB of DDR3. Any idea what this is for?

The only benchmarks I have found is from SiSoftware. http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/?d=qa&f=mem_hsw

But how is this going to effect Firefox, Photoshop, or video conversion?

Does it have an effect on battery life?

I have a Retina MacBook Pro with this Crystal Well processor. What advantages does it really bring?

Unsure of any real world benchmarks compared to standard Haswell processors.

Just to clarify, not the UN itself but a member state protesting.
