Point was, my 2 years old netbook runs quite adequatly, have more than I need battery life, no smuge on the screen, enable me to set the screen angle to ANY angle, can be used on my chest if I feel like watching a movie in bed, can run multiple virtual machines without a hitch, enabled me to create content in HD and fiddle with blender quite well, can play 3D games, and since I do not look at my screen with a microscope, I DONT CARE it is not 1080p or whatever... It does the job quite well thank you. What should I trash it and replace it with something 4 times more expensive?
"request for proposal (RFQ)" is that so hard to stick with editorial standards? This kind of flimsy editor job is what makes Slashdot merely a poor agregator with interresting comments.
If you are to spam around as anonymous, at least provide a link to your product! It looks like you used to much of, oh wait, it's 4:20... what was I saying? Oh yeah, you qualify to be the new czar (whatever that means).
From what I heard, ubiquitous free wifi is already the case in Philippines... Yes, our corporate mindset makes us retarded in north america, we are slaves to profit!
Gmail and Google Reader are two different beasts. Gmail is used as the primary authentication of many, many Google services and provides its parent company with much more detailed profile of users than what feed you read... Just saying.
Now, go ahead and write that in french without a single mistake, and google translate is not allowed. Then we will be on a level playing field. You realise for the majority of the world english is a second or third language, right? And that this Internet thing goes far beyond the borders of USA, right?
Note to the editors. The fun in april fool is to make ONE silly joke and try to pass it as genuine. Becoming the onion all day is not. Also, nice try with the ROT13 stuff, did not work very well.
Only on slashdot you can laugh about silly comments, learn from really insightful ones AND learn about how HOSTS file can save your life and that APK posting as AC was impersonated by another Anonymous Coward!
I will certainly not use this new "terminal" but I can see how some people will appreciate it. Cool thing about linux, if you dont like this, use that or that or that or... instead. Godspeed to developers.

[sound of me dropping the ball] :-P
Looks like you just described my 300$ 2 year old netbook! No wonder Windows RT is a failure.
1999: Windows ME, Mostly Excrement
2007: Windows VISTA, Vastly Improved Subpar Total Ass_shit
2012: Windows RT, Royal Trash
2013: Windows BLUE, ?
Fill in the blank!
Come on, it is Anonymous Coward we are talking about! He has been around since the beginning and its UID is so low, it cant be shown ;-)
Easy, just glue your surface with lotus leaves! YMMV.

BackOrifice... the perfect tool to freak out your room mate in at the end of last century... ah! the memories...
+1^Googleplex Funny and true...

I would like to see 4GB on die memory with regular DRAM controller for "swap" ;-)
Its all about buying the right to cook with dynamite! It gets expensive after a couple places.
You should learn to read, just writing is not enough sometime.
It would be like me sending high explosive shells on your house wall to see if you are home. Kinda pointless, don't you think?

NEVER use USB for any mission critical, 24/7 hardware. Failure to comply will be hurtful.

You mean like those 3CCD cameras used to shoot pro broadcast? They have been around for years, if not decades. Consumer goods are another story.
