That's nice, it still cost me $349. How Google gets to the price point doesn't affect me. Why doesn't Shuttleworth pony up his own cash to get it to the market, he certainly has it.
That's not a "real desktop", that is a top of the line gaming desktop. I've never seen a water-cooled computer in the wild and I've never spent north of $400 on a GPU.
I had an edit revoked when I removed some info about the small town I live in. It said it was devastated by fire in the 1927, but there was never a fire of any kind. I was told I need a citation. A citation of something that didn't happen, nice..
I'm a heavy reader. 5-10 novels/month and I still buy grocery bags full of books at every book sale I attend. When I travel, though, I take my classic Nook.
Language matters as much as context. I have nothing again open source software, I have everything against Linus being a dick for no other reason than his ego.
No it's not. People DON'T NEED A new computer. That 5 year old C2D I have? Works just fine and would for 90% of the population. Programmers and gamers are a niche.
I recently opened a few documents with Word 2011 on my Mac that were authored with whatever version of Word that was available on Windows 3.1/3.11. After a quick conversion, they loaded perfectly. I regularly send and receive documents with a friend who is still running Office 2003 on XP, again, no problems at all.

That's nice. It's still unethical and should be treated as such.
Agreed. Vegetarian here as well. I don't eat animals for ethical and environmental reasons, not for health reasons.

That said, I don't even use desktops anymore.
1500-2000 for a desktop? You sir, are getting ripped off.
A 16gb Nexus is $349, off-contract, on the play store. I would never spend $500+ on a phone.

I don't buy paperbacks.

Connecting the two is bullshit.
Who's morality? Morality isn't a concrete thing.
Snowden isn't old enough to be president.
Double Jeopardy doesn't apply if they file a civil case. OJ won the murder case, and lost a wrongful death civil suit, costing him millions.
Pennsylvania has no sales tax on clothing, except for exotic types such as fur,
They wouldn't do that, though. Would they?

I know of no one, including myself, that streams Netflix on a computer. I use a Roku and my iPad.
You're limited to Android or Linux variants.

Discover and American Express are two cards I own that have nothing to do with Visa and MasterCard.
If you don't have anything to report, then don't report. Enough with worthless speculation.
Poor backward and forwards compatibility? Really?
