In my language, hard drives were named something roughly meaning "immobile drives", then portable hard drives came out and no one thought it was extremely stupid, and so now we have "mobile immobile drives".
If something doesn't fit the original definition, just find a new name.
yep, all these people promoting socialism are all brainwashed by the evil cuban media whose reach is everywhere, while in no way we can consider people being indoctrinated by the american media, as their objectivity has been proven and only americans are influenced by them anyways, right? oh wait...
Also, according to some people here apparently without capitalism nothing could ever be invented. The last time I heard something was from some Randian zealots who didn't believe in the existence of the Sputnik, citing a socialistic system could never produce it.
And, saying that Cuba is doing better than other Caribbean countries despite being under an embargo, is not something I would consider negative, and (but, actually, there is one island nation there doing better than Cuba, but they have only surpassed Cuban economy after the fall of the Soviet Union, when Cuba lost its main trading partner), so I would see some truth in "vamos bien" if they are actually doing better than their capitalist counterparts, under severe sanctions.
I'm not saying Cuba is paradise or whatever, but it seems that some people here need to take their own advice, and read a book.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that Cuba was far worse in the pre-communist era, as proven by statistics, the time where your ancestors owned "ranches and factories". Batista government was a fascist and corrupt dictatorship - but I guess your family didn't flee then due to lack of freedom or independence, I wonder why...
Also, lol@people thinking the American Embargo is just about them not being able to buy it from the US - it disables most nations from trading with them too, and raises the prices for the ones who can trade to the level that it isn't feasible for a nation that poor (yet, still, pretty well off compared to most other carribean countries, despite the embargo - even according to the statistics provided by the CIA World Factbook). Please, have some knowledge on an issue before expressing an opinion. I know it's tempting to yell "THEY DON'T HAVE QUAD CORES LOL", but seriously...
cedega/wine generally do not support the newest games, and still I can't run my copy of Europa Universalis III o Linux, so I wouldn't bet on crysis running on it...
I can live with the ugly looks, but what good is 250gb storage with 4 hour battery life for playing videos? Also notice the lack of widescreen and the price...
