I believe one of the aspects the NLRB is protecting here is the right to complain and collaborate via email or other electronic means. collaboration is key here. You would not be protected in speech based on saying something like "My boss John Doe is an incompetent asshole" because there is no collaboration there... its just a statement. I could be wrong here, but as I understand it, you would need to add in something to the effect of " my boss john doe is an incompetent asshole and would anyone like to start a group or get together and talk about it?" The reason goes back to some basic things like the right to form unions with out being fired, threatened or physically stopped (this used to be very common (Pinkertons)). This is not a groundbreaking decision here... any labor lawyer could tell you that... the real headline here is that this is how it should be and soon the Congress will most assuredly do everything they can (short of blowing up the NLRB) to stomp this out of existence.

Submission + - Memory (RAM) Buying Guide for both n00bs and gurus (techarp.com)
crazyeyes writes: "We all know RAM is important for your PC. Experts will tell you that there is NEVER enough RAM. But with so many brands and models of memory modules in the market, what should you buy? Join Empire23 as he goes through the intricacies of the memory module and breaks it down into the key issues you need to know before you pick up a new memory upgrade. If this can be challenging to even seasoned PC hardware enthusiasts, it can be quite impossible for a newbie. Here's a quote from the article :-
""Frankly, the performance of your memory modules does not really matter unless you are into hardware tweaking and/or overclocking. The performance difference between different memory modules is really insignificant. It is certainly far less important than the quantity of RAM. It's better to have lots of slow RAM than a smaller quantity of faster RAM."
