Surely there is still value in advancing the technology, $10m seems a small price to pay considering.

No, they were called to remove a trespasser.

I'm not familiar with that part of the story having just started following him, do you have a source?

I am actually. What is an appropriate age cap for this sort of mission?

I wonder how many of their applicants will be too old by 2023.

My god...someone has miniaturized Kim Dotcom.

This is terrible ad targeting.

Visually this Chromebook is a pretty egregious copy of the Macbook Air. On a side note, the Surface is also a pretty shameless copy of the iPad. I'm not saying it's right that Apple sues them, but the designers who drew this thing up should be ashamed of themselves.

Anyway, my two cents.

You make good points I think. One correction on the screen size, you might have just been looking at the Air but Macbook screens go up to 17'' which is more than enough in a laptop. I'm only barely joking when I say they're great for gaming if you only play Minecraft and Valve games.

This could help very interesting research regarding how often certain topics are discussed, or certain buzzwords are used. It's pretty exciting I think.
