Not Really

yeah, this perceived notion that Windows computers are less reliable than Macs is just not true, or very misguided. I have known plenty of people with problems with their Macs. With the much higher number of Windows users versus Mac users, indeed, you will find more people with problems with a Windows based machine, but that is obviously due to the many computers out there; the ratio is not well represented. Also wanted to throw this out, but the Mac hardware definitely is not special, tends to be overpriced for the stuff you are getting inside. I built my Windows machine knowing that: A) I would save a ton of money B) If there was a problem with the hardware, I could fix it or replace a part, which can be a pain, but nothing like having to turn in your whole computer if it failed. C) The hardware in my machine is superior since I handpicked it Macs can look slick, but they all look the same, kind of ironic when you consider their history, and I trust myself over a company when building a computer, (Yeah, so that extends beyond Apple) Okay, I am done with my Apple hate, and seriously, people should play around with linux more, it isn't that difficult if you get OSes like Ubuntu.

Umm, ever see EVGA 4-way sli boards? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188059 And the 3-way sli boards can be well spaced out too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188046

There is no proof anywhere that looking for physical cues can give a terrorist away. The show Lie to Me is utter garbage, and that is all they do on the show. It's based off some Paul Ekman's research and its a total joke. I simply don't think SPOT is useful at all. I'll sacrifice my privacy at the airport, I have nothing to hide. We are going to have to get use to losing our privacy for now on, it is like pandora's box, once opened, you can't go back on it.

Sounds like Apple is loving this hype and attention for the iPhone

Yeah, lets use Signs as a reference for possible lack of common sense for aliens. If they're capable of reaching our planet from millions of light years away, I doubt they would have forgotten to check if the planet is mostly poisonous to them. If they wanted our planet, we can do very little to stop them right now.

I agree, we are not helping by holding restrictions, but we definitely don't want to let them loose. I also can't help but think that if Africa was improved, if some other continent or region will take their place, kind of like equilibrium.
