I'd love to ride the Wave.

Well, this sucks if you just bought the $999 model 5 days ago.

"if you're a Linux user, you're probably cool with...voiding warranties. "

2. I just uninstalled AVG and installed avast!. My boot time has decreased by about 20 seconds. (both starting up and shutting down).
