    Will the screens be compatible in all netbooks? (I know there is a resolution standard but unsure if there is a standard panel size.)

    It's not 100% clear but it looks to me like the article is actually about the OLPC, given that 1) the word "Netbook" appears nowhere in the article and 2) the involvement of Mary Lou Jepsen.

    Another non-story/crappy headline.

  18. Re:I love to be the first to say this... on Utah Assembly Passes Resolution Denying Climate Change · · Score: 1

    At least some Americans seem to be so devoted to democracy that it has become a religion, and they can't cope with the idea that reality might not be democratically decided.

    I don't know if it's related, but one thing I see (not just among Americans) is a belief in consensus and that where an answer is disputed the true value must lie on the average, or at least between the extremes. Hence, if people hear exaggerated claims often enough it "pulls" people's perception of what the value is. I don't know if sociologists/psychologists have done any research on this.
