A Million-Dollar Laptop Created

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the conspicuous-consumption dept.

aluminumangel writes "For those of you who don't know what to do with all your money, why not a one million-dollar laptop from the U.K-based company Luvaglio? With 128GB of solid state disk space, Blu-ray, and a detachable rare diamond that acts like a power button and a security key."

    (fiction) So, like, I copped a few joints up in the park, and I was floating around mid town fora while. Then I figured I'd skip downtown for a while. It was WAY too far to walk, so I get on the A train. And I sit down next to some stylin' dude with the Armani suit and gold cufflinks and stuff, and I'm wonderin' whatthe fuck is this asshole doing on the subway, but I figured - WHO KNOWS? He probably has some reason for sittin' in the stink with the rest of us. So, like he looks up and sees the Washington Square stop and like flips out and runs out of the subway.

    Well, right next to me is this computer bag, that he left behind and I look inside and FUCK! The thing has JEWELS encrusted in it, and I'm thinkin' what kind of an asshole buys a jewel encrusted laptop - the stupid things go obsolete every few years! What a waste of money! But he did strike me as an asshole, and he DID leave me his laptop, so now I got this TOTALLY STYLIN' laptop. It's got BOODLES of RAM, I am totally stoked. finders keepers!

    Nearly anything is possible if you have enough money. Although you will need to find your own supplier. I know nothing of such things.

    But at least social security, medicare and medicade actually _help_ people. The Iraq War doesn't seem to be doing that. Don't give me the whole "the people of Iraq want us there" crap. I served in the U.S.M.C. They don't want us for the most part. Some seem to be glad the we got rid of a nasty dictator, however now most seem to be like, "Uh, OK, now get the hell out". While I think the people are stuck in the middle ages as far as their religious beliefs go, that is there right.

    Stop bashing social security, medicare and medicade when there are many Americans that actually need it. I personally am blessed and have good health insurance, income, etc. However, I have met many others that have had to choose between paying rent, buying food or getting much needed medication. That is a sad state for _any_ American to be in. We are the wealthiest single nation in the world. Why can't we come up with some system to allow everyone to at least get proper medical treatment and medication?

    Private health care just doesn't cut it. Private health care only cares about one thing. Profits. Profits and the well-being of a human do not mix well.
