Review of PCV-W10 Desktop by Sony
Anonymous Howard writes "Designtechnica has a review of Sony's Vaio PCV-W10 desktop computer. This computer is unique in the sense that not only is the computer built into the back of the monitor, but the keyboard folds up to cover the screen. Once folded up, this thing becomes a Clock/CD Player. Strange..."

It's 4:42 am Shut the hell up and go to bed!
People like Mr. Benson have a very easy job; kicking someone when they are down. Cheap shots are called cheap shots for a reason. They don't take much of an expenditure of energy or require very much courage to deliver.
Why do people behave that way? Because they have learned that it gets them attention; like farting in a class room while the teacher is trying to explain something.
Mr. Benson can't design a space shuttle, but he feels competent to criticize those who do. If you do anything productive, a critic can always point to another way of doing it. Any technology - no matter how poor it is - has some good points to it, and any technology - no matter how good it is has some poor qualities. Critics can always point to the good qualities of a crappy design while focusing on the poor qualities of your good design. It is a cheap trick, pay no attention.
Is the shuttle dangerous, you bet it is. Flying in space is a dangerous activity. Given the limitations of chemical rockets, if you build something strong enough to be safe it is too heavy to fly. The shuttle is to an airplane what a double A fuel dragster is to a bus.
By the way, NASA is the only government agency to ever pay for itself: the taxes raised from the manufacture and sale of items invented in the space program and transferred to the commercial world have more than paid for the entire program.
