    It's only really Apple that is obsessed with being the thinnest. Others manage to make far more practical machines (lighter, better screen, and at least two USB ports):

    I have a LaVie X, the 15" model. It's excellent.

    Netbooks are dead, but Ultrabooks are much better anyway; http://121ware.com/lavie/z/

    Similar weight to a large tablet, full keyboard, Core i7, full desktop OS.

    the liquid you want is called Flourinert. It's ~500 dollars per gallon. If you know people in chip-manufacture industry, you might be able to sneak away with some used ones (capital equipment has their flourinert changed every few monthes, and the used up ones are pretty much the same as new ones anyway (or not different enough to make up a difference of 500 dollars).

    viscosity of oil is pretty bad and flourinert is ok until about -40 degrees.

    or you can, i don't know, buy liquid cooled system like ValuStar TZ that had liquid cooling for almost a year now? (Granted, maybe japan only)

    So, can we say that MS copies off apple, but apple actually is copying off of NEC? kind of a hard fact to accept, but innovation would seem to be, erm, not so alive in the US these days...

    NECs done it in Japan. English press announcement
    and at least some of this line.
    They seem to be pretty quiet in real life, with I assume is a radiator sticking out from the back a little.

    No major manufacturer except for Sony endorses memory stick.

    Shall I go on?

    And yes, the memory stick format is much more expensive

    I just paid $30 for 128 MB MS. Show me a better price for CF or SD/MMC.

    not to mention has various confusing variations (e.g. magic gate)

    You mean 2? Magic gate, non-Magic gate? Boy, that is confusing.

    and is still proprietary

    "Proprietary", eh? Guess what? All of the major formats are proprietary. Want to sell a CF device? You can if you ante up to the CF org. Sony has released quite a few specifications (http://www.memorystick.org/topics/eng/aboutms/for mat.html).

    You might find prices on Amazon.com come close to CF or SD/MMC but I can walk into any camera shop and be offered compact flash cards by 3 or 4 manufactures where I'd be lucky if could find 2 for memory stick.

    I count 6 manufacturers of Memory Stick: Lexar, SanDisk, Sony, I-O Data, Apacer Tech.
