@Nathan Obbards: this.

@lordargent: Yea, I agree. Use of the term organic to mean 'natural' drives me nuts. Many of the most deadly chemicals in the world are 'naturally occuring' and 'organic'.

@Hearthole: why? In that case it seems quite a bit more accurate than anything else I have seen.

@paradox: yea, we'll see about that. Current Mamillian text books are already available for purchase all over the internet. A CD or DVD rom costs about 70% of the paper book.

That pretty much looks like any virtual textbook I have used. At least, most of my medical texts look pretty much like that.

@pixelpushing: Doesn't look that thick to me. Judging by the headphone jack it looks like it's about 17-18mm, about the same as the macbook air. If the macbook air is thick, then yea, I guess this is thick too.

Playing games, particularly FPS on a touchscreen ala droid or iphone sucks ass. Until these phones have decent physical d-pads and buttons, these games will remain annoyances.

@ManfredSnookie: I think he is talking bout our (US) foreign relations. If that is the case, I tend to agree. I am no pacifist and have proudly fought for my country, but I also know that we can't continue to be the worlds [selective] peace force, and continue to abuse our power for empiricist means.

I installed Mint, and then Kubuntu over Win 7. GRUB2 does a great job at keeping the boot sector. If you find that windows 7 is missing from the boot menu, just run "update-grub2" from terminal and it will automatically see the windows7 boot sector and add it to the menu.
