Perhaps get a laptop with a real processor. Atoms are way slower than the equivalent AMD offering.
Equivalent means comparable physical size. Which 10" AMD laptop is any good?

The Synology has a nice backup program let's me to back up data to an Amazon S3 account.
It also has a Glacier backup, which is great for huge backups that you don't need to restore often (or ever). I use Time Machine to backup our laptops to our DS412+, and it pushes those backup volumes up to Glacier once a week. If something catastrophic happened like a massive earthquake or a house fire, we could recover all our most important data (including irreplaceable like our photos) just by replacing the hardware and clicking "restore". For less than $10 a month, that's a great feeling.
Young Wolfgang accepts your challenge.
Firefox runs faster than Chrome
Firefox also lags when opening a bunch of tabs on sites like Cracked.com on an Atom CPU because it uses only one thread for JS and CSS across all open tabs.
and it uses less processes
Once the single thread problem gets fixed as part of the Electrolysis project, Firefox will probably use just as many processes.
Apple has so many sweetheart deals with the US gov that it's not funny, mostly in the area of non-compliance with tax code or outright tax evasion.
Can you substantiate this? Every time somebody has said this to me and they've gone into specifics, it's been bullshit.
Just the fact that Apple is allowed to flaunt the anti-trust laws is a good example of why Apple (and shareholders) benefit from spying.
Same here. Which anti-trust laws? Be specific.
The Government Office of Accountability released a report earlier this week detailing the security flaws in the site, but a report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released yesterday is even more damning. Titled, “Behind the Curtain of the HealthCare.gov Rollout,” the report fingers the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversaw the development of the site, and its parent Department of Health and Human Services.
“Officials at CMS and HHS refused to admit to the public that the website was not on track to launch without significant functionality problems and substantial security risks,” the report says. “There is also evidence that the Administration, to this day, is continuing its efforts to shield ongoing problems with the website from public view.”
The evidence includes emails that show Obamacare officials more interested in keeping their problems from leaking to the press than working to fix them. This is both both a coverup and incompetence.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
