Interesting usage statistics from the union website of a technical university:
Students are required to buy a school-issued Thinkpad. For the last 3 years the Thinkpad has had a 1680 by 1050 screen. Among users of the union website who are on the the school's ISP and using a 1680 by 1050 screen, 53% use Chrome, 38% use Firefox, and 6% use IE. The share of firefox users declines even more when the results are filtered to Windows only.
Data for non-1680 by 1050 screens is as follows: Firefox 54%, Chrome 33%, IE 11%
This shows that college age kids are much more receptive to Google's browser, while professors, staff, and lab users favor Firefox.
A 6 bit chip can only produce 190 colors per pixel. 75% less than 760! Imagine buying a processor advertised at 2.4ghz but it actually performs at 600mhz? You'd be outraged too! And this is just using the "actual color" idea. Once the eye combines the subpixels, you'd have a 50mhz processor (98%, as per TFA).
Wait... catsinsinks.com?? (Actually they were just pointing out the huge number of "niche" sites). Interesting that there's nothing about social networking.

And yet it fails at grasping the issue.

Now do you understand why they don't allow optical media writers in your carry-ons?
They don't?
What about laptops? Presentation mice?
Heck, I even brought two external DVD-RW drives from Portland to Boston and back in my carry-on, in addition to two laptops!
