I totally agree with you concerning the prices of DESKTOP solutions. But when it comes to LAPTOPS, there are other rules.
There's still no Laptop around that's as beautiful, small and lightweight as a PowerBook G4 AND has all the features and power.
Displayhooks and other parts sticking out, blinking LEDs everywhere, 2cm empty space between lid- and display-edge, 2h battery-life, 4kg to carry around (1 of them for the superbig battery), CD/DVD-drives where you still need to be a _MAN_ to get the CD off of the rotor (ever heard of slot-loading?), strange "design"parts, awful colors, low-cost displays,...
maybe I picked the wrong laptop these days, but I'll never again give away my PowerBook! (hey, my keyboard glows!)
just to mention other interesting stuff in Nanotechnology, at our department we are currently trying to put medical molecules (i.e. drugs) onto nano-sized carriers to get them into human cells.
And believe me or not, this is Nanotechnology as well.
100 Watts for a GraphicsCard is just crazy.
Consider these things will be in every cheap PeeCee in about 1 year, and all those midlife-crisis-moms reading their eMail will have to accelerate their Fan 'cause they're putting a hundred Watts in their flat just for nothing.

I didn't refer to the fan in the card, but to the Fan of the Flat. or however yo call the climate-control-thingy of the Flat. =)
after a restart of my Browser it's back again.
seems that Safari doesn't like a too long uptime... =)
what's a turd??
seems this news pulled nature.com's memory. at last I don't get anything but a blank page. slashdotted?
As long as it stays MS-exclusive it's not to be threated as an alternative, even if the Idea is a good one.

silly.
good point. =)
I don't know.
I just wanted to write something that points out that there has to be justice. this way or another.
Maybe I'm just reading too many StarWars-Books. =)
if microsoft continues it's path of clouding everything with their money, it's only a matter of time till their suizide is complete.
trust me.
