Google really never cared about those anyway. They only left China's search engine market because they were seriously losing to Baidu. They just decided to go out with some big bang and blame the chinese for their own failure.

From my Civilization 2 days I remember how SDI defenses were able to completely destroy any incoming nukes. How does it work and is it that good in real life?

I fully agree on the battery front. On my device it also goes empty really quickly. However, I think it's mostly about what your real usage is. As for me, I do not need a laptop that I can use on battery power anywhere. But as I live traveling, I need something that I can easily carry around and still be powerful. For that purpose it's perfect. I have power wherever I stay anyway.

And Macbook Air on the side :)

Clevo's laptops are awesome. They're pricey, but well. I bought mine an year ago and it has been just awesome. Performance is better than you get out of your usual desktop, in games too. Cost 3000 euros, but totally worth it. It also has good numpad, which is essential.

This is absolutely true. It seems like most Facebook haters are those who themselves have very narrow life and therefore cannot comprehend the idea that other people might like to use Facebook and other things on top of their other stuff.

For no effort? Excuse me, but venture capital is integral part of current day innovation and companies. Without that capital there would be tons of products and ideas that would never see the day. It's also one of the reasons why U.S. has climbed on top of tech industry.

Also, it's not like they can loan money to every new comer. It takes time and work to evaluate potential ideas. There are risks involved. Yet, venture capital is one of the actual things that greatly increases innovation. But don't let that get into the way of your rant.

Yes, because it's like people post on Facebook that they're taking a shit. That's the reality, yeah right.

Funny that none of the people I friend and know on Facebook don't post shit like that. Maybe it says something about your friends, or that you don't even use Facebook and therefore don't even know what you're talking about.

And this is the usual geek thinking. If it's not direct binary or code, it's useless. However, in real life there are tons of other factors to consider.

Eh, just because Facebook is also used by millions of ordinary people doesn't mean it's not computer technology company and, even more so, doesn't help the world. In fact I think that Facebook has done immersive amount of good for the world. What have you done, exactly? This is extremely obvious to anyone who is older than 15 years old and especially for those of us who live overseas and have friends, family and people all over the world and helps to keep in touch with people easily (and no, I'm not going to bother them all by emailing them on little things).
