Last time I checked, "hardcore" didn't mean "plays games a lot"; it means that you don't spend all of your money on "pet games" and "style-games" and "generic sports games" and instead spend it on games that are, as the hardcores call them, "good". "Good" games include things like Smash Bros., Bio Shock, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda (especially Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess), and other games that require a lot of skill and time. Just because girls play a certain online game more than males means they're more "hardcore"? Did they take the "genre" of the game into account? No? Then how the crap does this pass as being scientific?

If Intel can make that new technology for Apple don't you think they can't make better than that? And that it should be new single standard for all devices hardly cause new standard that i see in the future and that will be one and only for everything MUST be open by all means.

Well you then continue to use ur XP and have 1 antivirus for 1/4 the internet and another antivirus for 2/4 of the internet and then use some spyware removal program to take care of 3/4 internet and you are safe and when you spit all that money for antiviruses there goes Vista and spit money there and then comes out Win7 then again same thing and around and around we go or you will just buy Win7 cause Vista was such an epic win for M$.

if we continue to find water like this in our solar system we may get to see traveling from moon to mars,Europa etc. I will make house on Mars.

What a discovery to be made. Especially now that we are considering returning head-long into the nuclear age.

We're running linux, but the same probably applies to some smaller degree.

If you want a ARM-based notebook, you could get a Touchbook. It contains a Cortex A8-based ARM CPU: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/
