Fine if you're happy to lug 15.6" around with you. Me, I need my laptop accessible on my desk, the airline lounge and my airplane seat. And the kilos matter.

Oh well before you did that I would have whipped out my light saber and my jetpack and you'd be all pew pew but I'd be like out of there with the laptop bag
This is the thin end of the wedge. Soon there'll be no media companies, and then where will I get my remakes of films from the 70s and 80s? Or rock bands that sound like Lady Gaga?

Ugh you have no idea and have never read about the Troubles. Any number of kooks call pretending to be the IRA. You can't listen to all of them. Work it out.
One of the things we have seen, even when working with our own clients, is that we end up interrupting and "guiding" the conversation.
This is because we know everything. Also, because there are so few PR 'experts' in the world, our advice is like gold. If only our clients weren't such idiots, they could see our brilliance.
No, what future assassin is saying is that the move from tape to DVD was a genuine leap forward and there is a marked difference in quality. This difference in quality is worth paying for.
The difference between DVD and Blu Ray, however, was so much slimmer that it feels much more like a grab for money rather than an improvement in the quality of the art.
I have a problem with Carl Sagan. He delivers skepticism with dismissal and a know-it-all attitude, seemingly based on the assumption that popular science is a... a godsend.

A plumber recently gave me a bill for $300. But I told him, "All you did was replace a lousy washer! That couldn't cost more than ten cents! I want an itemized bill!". So he gave me one. It read:
Get thee behind me, Satan - a better post title would have mentioned that Google actually rewarded the researcher's honesty. This is a great outcome for everyone, including Android users.

I can do one better. I'll never visit the US, how about that? Because then I won't have to meet people like you, with the attitude you have, and the knowledge that you might have a gun on you to back it up.
Gun deaths in Australia (2006): 27. Gun deaths in US (2006): 12,791
Your silly bravado becomes even more laughable when you factor in the population. USA has about 14 times the population of Australia (hint: 27*14 is considerably less than 12,791). You are wrong and deluded. Try opening your eyes and maybe visiting a country outside your paranoid, "free" borders.

Er, no - he traded bacon for goods and services. Bacon isn't legal tender and isn't currency. This story can logically be reduced to "Man trades!".

Are you saying it's a load of bulls?
The only 80 year old thing I trust is Glenlivet.

Yep. Cassius or Brutus? Pick Cassius every time.

If I thought you had the power to put one there, I'd check.

The best note-taking device for conferences is a graduate student. They do good work and only require a modest amount of feeding.

Tell that to the A-team!!

He's shipping to Africa, not Canada.

You can't benefit by *welching* on your end.
Hard to see how a university ethics IRB (Institutional review board) could approve something like this.
Did anyone else read that as 'crap robot'? Guys?
Well said, DrgnDancer, very well said.
But it has in almost every third world country.
How would you know that? You don't even know the difference between Giza and Gaza!

You could get a job at Sony!

For me, and most people on this planet, American sites are foreign.
