Solid State Drive technology is set to turn the storage industry on its ear.
Good to know that the industry isn't going in a completely new, turned-on-its-head direction.
But what if its just completely WRONG? Like if their girlfriend is a pig. The animal, not the insult variety. Then is it not our duty to point out, "hey, you really shouldn't be dating a pig!"
There is a difference between neglect and addiction. Your friend chose to neglect his (im assuming) work because he simply didnt want to do it. I know people (and am sort of like that myself) that are like that. They just put off doing difficult things.

Why develop (nuclear weapons/manned space flight/insert idea here) when you can photoshop an image and claim you did?
