And what from your list above, may I ask, can not be done on a laptop? And why is the laptop, which sits comfortably in your lap leaving your hands free, not more comfortable to watch movies?

So you had a crappy Macbook Pro (I am assuming since you seem to be a genuine Steve Jobs nut hugger) which fried your balls. How does that justify spending even more money on crappy products?

Yeah dude a delusional asshole said something thousands of years ago and it is still being used in the courts of law in the United Fucking States of America ("so help me fucking god").

How is that different from assholes blowing themselves up in the name of allah?

True. But then how far back in history do we want to go? How about Pope Innocent who had women burned alive at the cross for being witches?

I hope you realize that religion is basically just evil. Only people are good or bad and would use religion accordingly.

Not the other way around.

How about pope innocent VIII who persecuted "witches" by burning them alive?

I see no difference between Islam and Christianity. The Taliban behead, torture and bomb the innocent. The Catholics burned women at the stake. Religion is a curse on humanity. The sooner we get rid of it the better.

I never argue with idiots. I sympathize with them and explain things to them at their level of understanding.

You're an idiot and did not even read the summary carefully.

Let me summarize TFA for you. Chrome does not have a search box, only a single box that is used to type URLs as well as queries. Therefore, even if you don't do a query and type a simple URL, the entry is sent to Google. Whereas in IE, only characters entered in the search box are sent to the search engine and the URLs entered in the address box are not sent to a search engine.

That is the issue.

Or Google and Safari (on Mac).

Safari on Mac also has Google as the default. And there is no option in Safari to change it to anything else.

I wonder how much Google paid Apple here.

And the worst example of this is how in Safari on the Mac there isn't any option to change the search engine, it is fixed to Google.

What is a Google? How is it related to news?

But seriously, I've never used Google to search for news. I have a list of all my favorite newspapers (and news sites) bookmarked in my browser. Is this not what most people do? I would expect this to be the default behavior if you wanted to move from paper based newspapers to Internet based.
