Hello, I'm a Mac. And I'm a $248 Win8 PC.
theodp writes "A little birdie told me which Windows 8 machines would sell out fast. 'Cheep' ones! While no official sales figures have emerged, anecdotal evidence suggests that cheap Windows 8 laptops were a big hit with Black Friday shoppers, leaving some Walmart and Best Buy bargain hunters disappointed at missing out on the sub-$250 deals. So, was the Doctor-Desktop-and-Mister-Metro dual nature of Windows 8 and lack of a touchscreen no big deal to these bargain basement 'Laptop Hunters', or did they not realize what they were buying? Or, as a GeekWire commenter suggests, perhaps they were really just looking to score an ultra-cheap Linux laptop!"
What Moore giveth, HTML5 taketh away.
The phrase is: "What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away."
Help stamp out iliturcy.
Same for me. I've had to use my own Porsche for months on the job now, my boss just refuses to buy me a decent car! I just won't touch that Prius they bought me, a turd is a turd and I wouldn't feel safe driving it. SO I have requested all employees to recieve only Porsche company cars from now on, that will increase speed, efficiency and therefore save a lot of money.

It take a stronger CPU to lift all those bigger, heavier pixels, obviously...
I tried, but since my hate machine is running Windows ME, Windows Update tells me to frak myself.
Get with the times and at least update your hate machine.
I tried to update my hate machine. In fact I have turned on auto update. Still I get the following error:
Genuine Hate Machine Advantage Update failed. Please validate your installation of Hate Machine or upgrade to Ultimate Professional Platinum edition Hate Machine
