No one ever said that. It's either misquoted or mistranslated.
Albert Einstein once said, in German: "Wir nutzen nur zehn Prozent unseres geistigen Potentials."
Translation: "We only use ten percent of our mental (meaning: intellectual) potential."
Turning on the TV and watching for 5 minutes will tell you this is very optimistic. At least you will agree he has a point.
I don't know when this became misunderstood as some bogus neurobiological statement.
Got a Thinkpad R40 for about a year now, Pentium-M 1.3Ghz, 512MB RAM. Battery life is about 5-6 hours with battery saving options (screen blanker, turning off hard drive etc).
If I let it go into standby mode when not in use I never need the AC adapter the whole day. Just wonderful to go into a meeting and watch everyone else with their P4-2.6Ghz laptops (more like "portables") scramble for the one power socket in the room while I just sit back and smile;)
I sometimes watch DVDs on battery power while relaxing on my bed, doesn't really drain the battery as well.
Imho there is no way around a Pentium-M if you want serious processing power combined with extended battery life.
"blacklisting" in this article refers to completely block an ip address.
This is not a "bad idea", but complete nonsense. First time I've heard of something like that. This is not to be mistaken for using an open relay blacklist or similar, which only blocks mail from a certain address.
I bet those "network administrators" clicked on some fancy "block site" button, not knowing what they were doing...
What would you expect? If I choose to filter out "sex", should the software block certain religious websites, because they are vaguely anti-sex?
Hell no.
So why shoud symantec block anti-gun sites when the user chooses to protect children from weapons?
Doesn't make sense at all. This is no censorship or a political decision but the normal behavior anyone would expect from the software.

Yes, that thing can display slashdot. Just what the third world needs, more geeks!
