That's true. But unfortunately, there are TONS of people in Asia who's willing to watch a low quality cam-recorded film simply because it's free. This scheme probably won't catch any cam-holders, but it will help identify the problematic theaters where those cam-recording occurs.
"...those jobs in china could be taking place right here in the U.S."
Are you out of your mind!? The only reason why computer parts and accessories have gotten so cheap is because they were made at Chinese factories like these. If those keyboards were made here in the States, with all the labor laws and mandatory insurance that companies have to pay, then the $10 keyboard at Best Buy would cost us over $100.
I don't know about you but I'd like to save some money when I shop for computer stuff.
This is gotta be the dumbest idea ever to come out of the Eee PC development team. Just when I was about to praise them for putting in a bigger screen and removing the space wasting bezel in the 900 and 901...someone figured what a great idea it'll be to put it back into the 10 inch casing...*sigh*
Those tiny keyboard buttons were placed at both corners so users can type with their thumbs like they do on cell phones. It sounds like a great idea until you actually try that thing. Those keys are too small, too cramped, and very uncomfortable to use.
If you have physical access to a Windows PC, you can literally do anything to it. It's just a matter of how quickly you can get it done. That Firewire approach sure is convenient though...
"Backups" aren't pirated game half of the time. They're pirated games nearly 100% of the time. That's just a nicer way of saying "pirated" games out in the public.
Anyway, even a region free Wii would make this worth while. The Japanese Wii games are usually released much sooner than the US version. By the time we see those US releases, the Japanese ones are sold at discount as older games...
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
