I did not say golf isn't a sport. But it shouldn't be compared to badminton in the realm of physical requirement because they are not in the same class.

I play both badminton and golf. If you think top badmintion players have the same physique as top golfers, you are highly mistaken. The amount of endurance required in a male single badminton game is greater than tennis, despite the smaller court.

3 pounds is still heavier than some of the ultrabooks out there. I carry my macbook air with me everyday in a very light backpack with pretty much nothing else. It feels light when you first put on my backpack. But once I've walked 15 minutes with it, it starts to feel heavier and heavier. Every oz counts when you are carrying your laptop with you, 3 pounds is still too heavy for my taste. 2 pounds would be godsend.

Windows 7 is actually a good operating system.
Switched to various Linux distros before, they are just too slow compared to Windows. And of course, there are all the programs I lost when I switched to Linux.

The Sum Total of the World's Knowledge: 250 Exabytes 168
arkenian writes "The BBC reports on an article in Science about scientists who calculate that the sum of all the world's stored data is 250 exabytes. Perhaps more interestingly, the total amount of data broadcast is 2 zettabytes (1000 exabytes) annually. In theory this means that the sum of the world's knowledge is broadcast 8 times a year, but I bet mostly that's just a lot of American Idol reruns."
1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? 685
Many of you have submitted a story about Irish filmmaker George Clarke, who claims to have found a person using a cellphone in the "unused footage" section of the DVD The Circus, a Charlie Chaplin movie filmed in 1928. To me the bigger mystery is how someone who appears to be the offspring of Ram-Man and The Penguin got into a movie in the first place, especially if they were talking to a little metal box on set. Watch the video and decide for yourself.
