Hey I am Swiss. In my country nearly every adult male needs to go 3 weeks every year serve the army until he is 30 years old. In nearly every building basement in my country you will find around 2-3 military assault rifle SIG SG 550. (depends how many man between the age of 18-32 live in the building)
It's really difficult to buy a gun, but why would you do that? You can simply use the gun that the state gave you or to your father or brother of break into any building there is you will certainly find a rifle.
With all the "ultra books" coming I don't really see the use of this thing.
If you want a machine to browse the web and watch picture, you get a normal tablet or a computer.
If you want to be productive you almost certainly need a keyboard so you need a computer or a ultrabook to have a maximum of mobility.
The MS tablet is going to fail because it's not a tablet and not a computer, it's something between that nobody needs. Don't forget, a lot of people take their laptop on their laps, which isn't possible with the Surface Keyboard.
Sure the battery life will be great on the Win RT version, but they could to ARM ultrabooks with Win RT which would have the same battery life. Also they will do touch screens on ultrabooks for sure one day so this tablet will go to the place it belongs -> the hell of failed MS products.
Hey everyone!
Here in the German speaking world (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) We pay around 0-1000$ a university year. (bachelor or master) We don't have such fancy places like Harvard and Yale, but at least everyone is able to get an education if he/her really wants.
In my case I studied from 19-23 a classical art bachelor in Switzerland. Then a bachelor in business administration from Germany. And finally a Master in finance in Austria (kinda like a MBA)
I don't have any debts. (I know no one who does because of college)
I live in shitty places (enough to fuck and study and read) and have an 5 year old nokia phone and a cheap lenovo netbook. But who cares?! Also in big cities here you don't need a car.
I will soon be 30 years old, I didn't really work hard in my life, you know bartender and clothe shops, but I am ready to give back my fair share of my salary to society in order that other people can enjoy their youth as soon as I get a real job.

Oh I see, you are living in nerd-imagination-land.

"If that isn't justice, nothing is." maybe if education was free like in most western countries?
