Oh Engadget, why must you put a negative spin on everything Microsoft?
Hey, it looks like they've upgraded Ubuntu!
I think it's quite clear: Steve Jobs is a disgusting furrie.
These are the kinds of men who think calling a woman you just met thrice daily will make her love you more.
Truly, you must be a "Wall St. Guy" with that insightful and analytical nugget.

How's your portfolio doing these days?
Jesus, that's some Alien Vs. Predator shit right there (Use your imagination).
0.008 inches "thin"?

Easy there Steve Jobs - inches "thin" isn't a way of denoting width.

Paraphrasing: "Yes you make a valid point, however I love it for no reason and don't want to state my arguments. You're an idiot."

Yes, I'm sure EEE fans will snatch it up. That's not what Frank's saying. He's making an argument against the logic of buying the device.

I can honestly not believe the arguments you are making. The 2nd Ammendment should be observed because honest law-abiding citizens must be able to protect themselves? And then, that most gun crimes are committed by individuals who steal them from those honest citizens who have them to protect themselves?

Great - so they're not going out and finding assault rifles, they're getting guns during petty thefts. Do you not see your flaw in logic? What if these honest citizens did not have these guns in their closets to begin with? Those thieves who broke in to grab a PS3 would now be without easy access to a firearm.

Self-protection? Besides the obvious argument that you could that by consciously avoiding situations that might warrant the need of a gun for protection, why not stop to think that there might not be an absolutely crystalline distinction between an "honest citizen" and a "dishonest citizen". Is it unimaginable to conceive that one might cross this barrier, or even remain somewhere in the middle, having previously committed no violent crimes, where the easy access of a gun now places lives in jeapordy given the right circumstances? It shouldn't be, because it happens in the States all the time.

Yes, SOME criminals will ALWAYS have guns. Why not mitigate the factors that allow this to happen?
Finally a machine to compete with the Eee PC for worst laptop ever made!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
