  1. So on Lodsys Responds To In-App Purchasing Patent Controversy · · Score: 0

    Apple, Google and Microsoft, all 3 have licences from them?

    "The fact is that our Western norms doesn't make it the right one and people in more conservative or traditional countries in the world have a right to decide for themselves what is appropriate or not. Who knows if the Turkish demonstrators represent the majority or whether its just a small section of the population?"

    Exactly, people not the govt.

    So an Atom with 16GB RAM > an i5 with 4GB RAM?

    If you steal a laptop for the hardware,why wouldnt the first thing you do be formatting it.

    for some weird reason, resolutions are going down, not up.
    A 5 yr old budget laptop had a 1280*1024 screen
    My 3 year old budget laptop has a 1280*800 screen
    current laptops in the same price range are 1366*768

    A few years and will the resolution be 10000*1 ?

  19. Re:Same Price as a normal laptop on Google To Offer Chrome OS Notebooks For $20/month · · Score: 1

    Edge I believe loses out on some of the durability features like the metal hinges ,rollcage and latching lid..
