    Drudge is a "blogger" now? News to me. Unhinged, shit-flinging monkey perhaps, kind of like you appear to be.

    You just described bloggers. 99.9% of them are worthless drivel.

  21. Do people really take notes on a laptop? on Using Laptop To Take Notes Lowers Grades · · Score: 1

    No one I went to undergrad with used a laptop. Granted, my undergrad was chemistry and its hard as hell when 3/4 of the notes are diagrams of complex reactions.

    I take that back. There was one girl who had a convertible laptop with a stylus.

    Still not seeing why we need Internet connected lightbulbs. Personally, I wouldn't install them if they were given to me for me.

  23. Re:get a mac. on Ask Slashdot: Best/Newest Hardware Without "Trusted Computing"? · · Score: 2

    The reason is that Apple dropped devices that couldn't book a 64bit kernel. I suppose they could have released a new EFI, but they didn't.

  24. Re:get a mac. on Ask Slashdot: Best/Newest Hardware Without "Trusted Computing"? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yawn. Obsolescence built in, with each OSX "upgrade" Apple drop support for a whole generation of hardware. Quad core xeons are now in limbo. Yes, that standard Intel and PCI system is already at a dead end. When the next cat OS is released with a slightly changed icon set, the next top end systems will be excluded.

    And as for imacs, zero upgradability other than RAM and high failure rates, also suffer from OSX obsolescence.

    So, no, don't go down the Apple route unless you intend to replace the whole system to stay current, even if it doesn't need it.

    My 2008 MacBook is still receiving upgrades, and will get Mavericks. Upgraded the ram to 8gb and I'm doing just fine.
