What's In Your Laptop Bag?

    TheTechZone is running a cool human interest story...
    lol... this story is neither about humans nor is it interesting. It's just another round of advertising PR thinly disguised as actual news. Editors/writers of tech sites get goodies for free all the time from manufacturers. Part of the unspoken (or occasionally, written) deal is that they showcase these gadgets from time-to-time.

    The real news would be if someone could tell us all how much Slashdot is racking in from this arrangement. Come on OSDN, how stupid do you think your audience is?

    Why do you automatically assume that he's straight?

    Because he didn't mention that he had an iBook or PowerBook in his bag. ;)
