ok fine netbooks are portable gold star to you, you win
now what the fuck does this have to do with my 100$ argument? for what they are they are artificially priced 4 year old computer, you can buy the same thin in notebook form factor for 60 bucks used on ebay all day long, that's what is killing them, the artificial price
and omg grow up, if you think 3kg is heavy go to the freakin gym and quit sitting on your mobile ass in front of the netbook all day
I dont forget size and weight but that argument has been paper thin since day one, and is even thinner with tablets, yea OK a small amount of netbook users somehow cant find a desk terminal in a data center and praise the fact they can work in excel in the park, but honestly most people dont give a shit... they just want a cheap notebook
ok, in 2011 show me a netbook for 100$ that is not used, stolen, older than dirt and beat up, or one of those useless CE devices.
The price is what is killing them, they have not changed stats much if at all and after years on the market they have hit an artificially invoked 279$ price point that never seems to drift much. then the question becomes "well do I spend 300$ on a gimpy screen, gimpy keyboard, gimpy ram, video cpu for what turns out to be a darn near 4 year old computer? or do I just go ahead and get that dual core gateway for 50 bucks more
last time I used it I typed in the search box and it brought up the search window, which I typed in the same damn thing again and then it took its sweet time looking
these guys took a fairly standard electric car, hot rodded it, sold it at an ultra premium out of their place in silicon valley (one of the worst places to produce anything) and your surprised?
yea that will happen, if someone wants to impose new law onto the people then they also need to take the necessary measures to enforce it and not just hope it happens on good will
I dont know about your area, but here there is a few used book stores, they are overflowing, charge 99 cents and refuse trade in's most of the time... and its odd, cause every used bookstore in every town I happen to visit is pretty much the same way
books would not go away for a 100 years if they stopped printing them right this second
fucking read! I said I kind of blame apple due to their pressuring the app market like rabid dogs, its like killing the junkie and letting the pusher walk away... they both play equal parts
NYC is one of the few places it can succeed, in fact I would expect it to boom and not take years to meet demand so that kind of hints of what market your looking at
now move to the rest of the country, all of a sudden your not driving a few miles to fill hundreds of orders, your driving tens of miles though numerous towns just to deliver some potatoes and a gallon of milk
or in other words, it just does not make since for the majority
I said I kind of blame apple, not it was entirely their fault, so reading comprehension = fail
is it purely the fault of an addict that they are hooked? or does the makers and sellers have a big chunk of influence? This would not even be an article unless there was huge marketing pressure for companies to make apps, no matter how retarded
sigh or again (this is like the third time ive stated it in this circus) you need to weigh your needs against your service, if its not cutting it then you need up your service
no one, is forcing you to use all that stuff to the point where you are in breech of contract, and if you are then you need to make some choices

smoooth
I want GLIDE back damit!
only when looking for obscure packages and I don't feel like dicking with the command prompt
how does this increase consumption?
if I take my 19 volt 4 amp power supply into one laptop that draws 2 amps, it still draws 2 amps
yea and a HD webcam cost what 50 bucks?
they suffer back pain cause they pound concrete chasing after customers all day every day sometimes for double shifts you dingbat
not to mention they all but fixed that 20+ years ago
these guys took a fairly standard electric car, hot rodded it, sold it at an ultra premium out of their place in silicon valley (one of the worst places to produce anything) and your surprised?
they are required to provide you the proper information and forms however
yea that will happen, if someone wants to impose new law onto the people then they also need to take the necessary measures to enforce it and not just hope it happens on good will
but who really cares
its so normal people have an ftp account

e-readers are not e-googlers
just because in the past different forms of information was presented in the same format does not mean it is the same way
you want to read a book in bed, the e-readers offer a better format
you want to reference data a computer with access to a serious database is probably going to suit you best
you cant hold your cray workstation in your bed, and it would be silly to do research on a large format palm pilot
there are only so many countries that fit the criteria, it may not be now but eventually it will balance out, then start to tip again
again they have equal parts blame
NY times wants to be hip and down with apple, apple marketing says fuck the web go with an app
I cant make it any simpler so either your one of the sheeple that loves apple no matter what or your stupid

and where is that pressure coming from?

yes, now do you know how to manage your life where you are choosing the correct service for your needs
hint, if you want 1080p video conferencing, then that 2gb celphone plan isnt going to cut it
well there is a difference tween the country store and catering to millions of people in a region, thats where it fails every time
