@Frederik Galle: If you are a gamer Alt-Tab is not a good idea. In most games pressing it will switch out. I prefer using left windows + tab.

@xxdesmus: I am presently testing a Tech Preview of Office 2010 and as with the web apps, the software looks great. The main upgrade compared to Office 2007 is speed. O2010 is BLAZING fast (like can't see the prompt fast). Other than that, look & speed, same old, same old.

Was a poll really necessary to tell us this? I mean it's not like a new email service that could rival Gmail came out recently...

@fiman16: As Fiman16 pointed out, this seems to complicate a very simple process.

Mint as well is a good choice as it requires 0 maintenance and gives basically an unlimited supply of tea for the summer and autumn (I actually keep mint in a pot as, like weed, it tends to…

When I enrolled at the university 2 years ago I shopped extensively for a B&W laser printer that had the lowest operational cost I could find and that could ideally work in a network. It took me two months to ''track it down'' but at the time, I can certify you that the cheapest heavy home (or small enteprise) printer…

The equivalent of the consumerist in my country (Canada) once ran a paper on mattresses. Because we have pretty much the same brands as you guys, their conclusions should apply in the US as well:
