You Canadians get ripped off even worse than we do here in the states. I can get that same data plan for $50/month through pretty much any of the major carriers, contract or not. In fact for $80/month I can get 10GB transfer.
No, people who bring up Palin are idiots because they always attribute quotes to her that she never made and then use said fake quotes as their entire basis of bashing her. There may be reasons to not like her, but quotes made by an actor doing satire is not one of them.
I have never had the power jack break on any laptop I have owned. The ones I have seen that had that broken off it was obvious that the owner had put a lot of strain on the cable, causing it to break. No laptop will survive excessive abuse. And when Buy a Thinkpad you can add 1 year of next day onsite service with accidental damage protection for $99, $199 if you want 2 years.
Nice to see that you equate special education with all high school students. I take it you rode the short bus to school. As for who it distracts, everyone. It is hard to concentrate when you have someone sitting around playing on Facebook during class (and that is what 90% of students do on their laptops during class), not to mention the noise made from typing. In fact many professors do not allow use of laptops during lecture anymore because of these very reasons.
Who said anything about it being useless? I said "decently configured", you know, upgrade the display, graphics, toss in a 3G card and get the 9-cell battery. I always make sure I get the highest res screen on my laptops, I value my screen space, and I like having battery life.
Net-tops are not portable, they're a little box that sits on your desk and you plug your keyboard, mouse, ethernet, speakers and monitor into. Basically a PC version of the Mac Mini.
You obviously know nothing about the durability of ThinkPads, and the processors out today should still be quite useful in 5+ years. If you've been paying attention you would notice that the main improvement with newer processors is lower power consumption. How many notebooks can survive being throw into a wall or having liquid poured into the keyboard?
Grand Central were doing fine. The moment they were bought, new registrations were stopped by Google. Shortly after that, registrations were 'by invitation only'.
Question is: What really happened after purchase that necessitated this type of action?
My guess would be that because Grand Central was not well known and everyone always jumps on new Google products, that Google decided to stop new registrations until they migrated the service to one of their data centers, and made it invite only after that so that their servers wouldn't get hammered. It is probably also a strategy intended to build public interest, people always want what they cannot have.
Locking down Android, really? The only thing that I saw was that they are not releasing the Honeycomb source because they do not want it on phones. They are, however, putting many of the features of Honeycomb into the next version of Android, with phone support, and that version will be open source.
I wouldn't use it to store any source, you know Google looks at everything you upload. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the TOS says that they can do whatever they want with the code you upload.
But who wants an $800 ThinkPad that has none of the options? A decently configured ThinkPad T-Series will run you $1500 or so (less if you use a coupon during a sale). That comes out to $25/month over 5 years, and you can actually get stuff done with the machine.
Sarah Palin never said she could see another country from her yard, that was Tina Fey on SNL. What she did say, and is true, is that you can see part of Russia from one of the Aleutian Islands. Not that facts matter to Democrats, all they ever do is name call because they are incapable of critical thinking and just blindly do what their party tells them to. In fact I have yet to meet a Democrat who actually knows what it was that they voted for.

I'm pretty sure that was in reference to the bribes, I mean "campaign contributions" lobbyists give to politicians when they want something.
I have my own place. We also do not tend to have basements in California.
Rich white assholes that are bored of their career and become politicians are NOT GOOD for this country.
Why do you hate white people, are you a racist?

You have to be in special ed.
It is nice to know that you cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy, who let you out of the mental ward?

I have no idea, but Hong Kong is in China.
From what I have heard so far it comes with 1GB of 3G service, you can get the same for $20.
The issues they had when they first took over production have been sorted out, current ThinkPads are built quite well.
Net-tops are not portable, they're a little box that sits on your desk and you plug your keyboard, mouse, ethernet, speakers and monitor into. Basically a PC version of the Mac Mini.
How many high schools do you know of that allow students to use a personal laptop in class? It is considered a distraction.
Not true, You can get 1GB of 3G service for $20. A real 3G plan will come with 5x the transfer.
Then replace the fan, it's all of a $5 part.

That is why you box those up and store them after you're done ripping your collection.
You do not need a Kindle to use the Kindle store. They have apps for the PC, Android, Mac, and iOS devices.
