If they want to squeeze some money out of big multinational corporations in Europe, the first thing to do is banning unfair fiscal tricks such as the infamous "Dutch sandwich".
What bothers you about that? It seems a good idea to me, it should improve thermal dissipation. (if this is really the case, however, my next question is "why has no one thought of that before?)
So, Mozilla is planning to make Firefox an OS. Gnome is planning to make Gnome an OS. Kde, well, QT already contains libraries for doing almost everything, so we are not that far.
One could say that reusing a password is negligent....
Yes, it is, but once the password leaked from Yahoo, its account would have been pwned nevertheless:
Step 1 - go to Ebay
Step 2 - click on "recover password"
Step 3 - log into his @yahoo.com e-mail with the leaked password
Step 4 - reset password
Step 5 - ??? Profit (how appropriate)
The e-mail password serves as a sort of "master password" nowadays --- once it gets public, all your other passwords can be compromised.
If God created it then being the deceitful God that he is, he could have done it 6000 years ago to make it look like it was done billions of years ago. He could have also done it yesterday and created the universe as-is complete with memories and fossil evidence of days gone by.
Creates world 6000 years ago
Spreads lots of clues that something else happened instead (fossils, C14 dating, star light already travelling towards us, etcetera)
Reveals himself only to a dozen or so people

... Has there really been anything that has started in China and made it big in Europe/North America?
OK, How about silk, paper, gun powder, fireworks and bazillion other things chinese had ages before west heard of them?
You gotta love the Chinese. They had gunpowder long before anyone else, and what did they do? Conquer the world? Nope, they invented fireworks and had lot of fun.
A great site to filter the available notebook list based on specific criteria is http://www.idealo.co.uk/. I hope you do not mind the prices in sterlings; there is a French and German version available if you prefer euros (once you learn some specific terms like "Festplatte", it's not a problem even if it is in a foreign language, and in any case Google Translate is your friend).
Matlab > Octave: integrated editor with debugger and profiler; full compatibility with zillions of Matlab third-party libraries; faster.
Matlab < Octave: price and licensing; libreadline
Matlab > Python: lots of syntactic sugar (array slicing, matrix concatenation, 1-based indexing (if you are a mathematician that's the standard) --- in general, matrix stuff is much shorter to write in Matlab); hassle-free BLAS/LAPACK integration
Matlab < Python: price and licensing; Python is a real programming language (for instance, Matlab's OOP sucks); potential for speed improvements by compiling (MEX file are a compatibility hell, Cython is much better)
In most countries without common law (I can speak first-hand about Italy and Germany), the laws are an unholy mess, impossible to read, search, and interpret; in most cases you have no hope other than asking a consult to a lawyer.
You want the same people that spent at least 5 years studying this crap and make their living out of it to work actively to simplify it. It is a great idea, but I do not have any hope of seeing this applied.
Shirky's law applies here as well: "institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution".
It should be noted that all of the wars the US was involved in in recent history were undertaken with international participation, if not broad international support (yes, even in Iraq)
I am not sure I get your argument here. Sounds a lot like "I bullied that guy in high school because all my friends were doing that, too".
It would be fun to forge false maps that show, for instance, an alien landing and submit them to Google along with a bunch of real images. Just sayin'...
I also fail to see why this would get any good amount of users even if Google did advertise it correctly - unlike their search engine, gmail and youtube, cloud storage is nothing new. There are tons of companies offering their services with ridiculously low profit margins. Hell, most of them are free for home users, and I really wouldn't trust Google with my company or work data [...] Lastly, but even more so importantly, putting everything for Google to datamine and crawl is just stupid. They
Yeah, and for the same reasons their e-mail service never caught on.

It weighs the same as your X200, but it has a 2'' larger screen.

Uhm? There is no such thing as bold text in a CSV file. It's plain text with commas and quotation marks.

Do we have a trend here?

Troll level: God
Let me guess... 24 hours later the workstation on Mark Zuckerberg's desk had its hostname changed to challengeaccepted.facebook.com?
Wouldn't typing with these things on induce wrist and elbow problems? Have you done some research on that?
My thoughts exactly. This is not rocket science; it is sad to read that no one in their whole company seems to have a clue about statistics.

Is Skype for Linux affected?
Oh, look, there's a girl on Slashdot.
It would be a good definition for a stripper.
What if every US citizen had a 9-digit identifier, which could be used to look up their medical information online?
I wish I had mod points. This is one of the most insightful AC posts I have ever seen on Slashdot.

Ultrabay is an awesome idea, I wonder why only Lenovo uses it. Can one get a small ultrabay coffee maker as well?

Wait, they took this idea straight out of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, didn't they?

And exactly why are you asking this here and not, let's say, on Kickstarter? I must have missed the "psychiatric help - 5 cents" sign.
