That'll take up to 2050 to accomplish... :-) I have an Acer 499 Euro 2.12 mhz laptop with nvidia 9400m chipset that's just broke any price/performance debacle. I mean, it's the innards of a 13" macbook, at one third of the price with a 15,4" wide screen, vista home premium, 4Gb ram... And very clean, solid look to boot... Nobody beats Acer at the low end.

I have already removed them and Mininova from my bookmarks. TPB is dead, long live Bittorrent! New and better trackers and technology will take their place. TPB will fade into insignificance just like Suprnova and Napster. I wont be shedding a tear. @Uncle Patso

Charles De Gaul once said cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men. I use Apple products, but I just don't get the devotion to this guy. He has demonstrated open contempt for most people his whole life. Apple employees can’t look at the face of Jobs, beside they’re prostrated as he enters a room.

RIAA? Microsoft? How old is _old_? When I’m older than my father was when he died, _then_ I’ll be old. Up until that time, old is at least ten years older than I am…

Particularly when one sees the manner in which either wants to dominate: MS with the Stalin iron fist (plus the propaganda) and Google with the cult guru style. While I can safely ignore cult guru and take advantage of his freebies, with Stalin it is join or be whacked... @#4 MS definitely wants to dominate World same (if not more) than Google, so Dvorak conclusion is plausible one.

Launches are significantly improved and page loads are noticeably quicker. It looks like a very nice release. Microsoft is suddenly into viral marketing. I'm sure they're fudding Google.

Please! Google is getting to be a real concern to many people, their 'do no evil' moniker hasn't fit for a couple of years now. Their practices are getting more and more dodgy as time goes on. Sad about Samsung dropping 1.8" drives though. I just don't trust toshiba ones after a string of failures and data loss (the samsung ones I have are still going strong, and make great replacement/upgrade drives for zunes and iPods) MS is behind people not trusting Google as much?
