I own a kindle DX and use it primarily for academic purposes.

"This could lead to such sexy contrivances as refrigerators that wait until off-peak hours to run the automatic defrost cycle"

Yeah, 'cause a $2 clock/timer added to an existing fridge couldn't do the same thing.

Actually, it is available in the US, and it is $400. Search for Shuttle D10 on Newegg.

A lot of people wonder the same thing, but there are apparently tons of people who want them. I have no need for a fully capable laptop, since I have two desktops and home and two at work. I rarely travel, and when I do, I don't really need to do any work, so a netbook is a perfect little light, small unobtrusive computer that I can take along on a trip.

Um, 5.26 pounds? What kind of ultraportable is that? I'll stick with an Eee.

SP1 works fine for me -- and I have NVIDIA cards and a separate soundblaster card. My settings on the sound card reset when I installed the SP, but they seem to be working fine now. Overall, I think the system is ever so slightly more responsive, but that could be my imagination.

I'll bet there isn't actually a shock. It is pretty hard to convince a review board to allow you to deliver a real electric shock.

I believe that $1600 includes the 28-135IS lens, primarily because the bodies of the 10D/20D/30D/40D have been getting cheaper with each release, and $1600 is quite pricey. It makes sense that this particular kit includes an $400 lens instead of the cheapo 18-55 lens.

Plus, we should all consider that this is just Best Buy forcing customers to buy an expensive lens if they want the camera. The "official" kit lens could still be the 18-55.

I think most of the current dual-layer discs are single-write and not RW.

I can't wait to one-up my blackberry-carrying friends.
