Ok you have made some valid points and I will try to address some of these as you are right it is not just the media that causes violence but this linked with power, money, religion and corruption. The Amazonian tribes used to wipe each other out as they thought that this was because of some religious beliefs thinking they were appeasing the gods. I find it hard to believe that 2 children that have not been exposed to violence would end up beating each other if they had not seen this at some point in there past. When a child is born they are a totally black slate and everything they do is learnt. If it was true that children would fight each other then this would happen all the time but the majority of people have never resorted to violence. We are also conditioned as a people to accept greed as the norm and greed for either money or power causes violence and is usually decided by a very few people at the cost of the many, wars etc. If Hitler never existed would there have been a second world war? We as a human race are more geared towards peace and helping each other out rather then violence as the article says all you have to look at is when a disaster happens people come together and help each other out even if they do not know that person. Also if you see an old lade on the floor in the street would you help her out? Why? Everything that we do in our lives is because we have been conditioned to do so but most people would rather have peace than war, be nice rather than be horrible.

We are conditioned from a very early age to accept violence as the norm, all you have to do is look at the news everyday and its just doom and gloom and violence, this is conditioning. An opposite example is the Amish communities where violence hardly ever occurs and the basic human instincts of empathy and sympathy and generally just being nice have not been corrupted by the Media.

ChromeOS if far from dead, but probably a bit ahead of its time. Soon everything will be in the cloud. Already services like Spotify and Netflix are taking over from DVD's and MP3's and as soon as web applications get a bit better we will be using those in the cloud as well. Just imagine no more updates you log on and you will always be using the latest version. The chromeOS will be very light and less prone to bugs and the days of having to spend time to fix your system will be over giving you more time to actually use a computer for what you bought if for. Also the fact that you can access all of your data, music, videos and anything else is great. I say that all this is a bit ahead of its time as there are still many places in the world that do not have the bandwidth to cope with everything being on the cloud but someday they will. Long live the cloud.
