I dont see the average household needing 10gbit when most home computers can barely find a use for gigabit. Dont kid yourself, gigabit is really only useful for niche home applications once you get out of the business realm.

Yes, and "640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates didn't say it and he knew better, shouldn't you?

If you RTFA you would have seen that the original source was the Sydney Morning Herald, to which Fox dutifully provided a link, and which provided additional information. Fox managed to report the news without contradicting the original source or adding its own speculation, something few American media (I hesitate to use 'news') sources seem to be capable of these days.

Yeah, he was the one who desegregated schools under the law passed during the Kennedy administration. Where were Kennedy and Johnson on that one? As a Senator he voted for the civil rights bills that came to vote. As VP, he helped shepherd the Civil Rights Act of 1957 through Congress. Nixon implemented the Philadelphia Plan in 1970 - the first significant federal affirmative action program. He endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment when it went to the states for ratification. There are lots of true negative things you can say about Nixon, but his Civil Rights record isn't one of them.

What is typical about a quad core android phone? AFAIK there are none available in the US; Meizu and Fujitsu have announced them for second half of the year (when did Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile carry either brand?), and HTC's One X won't have it for us - only countries with different frequencies. Since you clearly don't know WTF you're talking about, I think most readers will dismiss the rest of your post as drivel.

Great minds run in great circles.
