Yes, it's the car from Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events (the movie). You know a car is charmingly weird if it made it into that movie. Sometimes i wish i was well off just so i could buy things like this car.

The right to make personal copies (including backups), among other fair use provisions like the right to use small portions of copyrighted works to make parodies, were written before the government became a Hollywood puppet.

Of course it is. Early versios of Windows would throw a blue screen that had no usefull information ar all (just some memory adresses). On modern versions of Windows, just type the words in caps on google, and you will get a description of what the problem is. Errors are always bad, but errors that give no information…

"The kicker to all of this is that the content industry has NEVER stopped someone from "pirating" content. They are not able to do so. All they do is make using their products more difficult."

This guy works for the content industry, an industry with such huge lobbying power that managed to pass SCMS and DMCA, which lead to the creation of the macrovision flag (that thing that prevents you from recording from subscription channels), regional lockout and unskippable warmings on DVDs, and anti format…

If it doesn't come with the crapware, the slow boot times and the fragmented-on-arrival harddisks big name laptops do, i am buying.

Is this the only "laptop" that can play games? (gaming on proper PC laptops is an exercise in frustration, thanks mainly to the cult of the PC gamer that plagues PCs, which says that catering for the 1% of users that own GTX590s is more important than catering to the 99%)

Fujitsu had a Macbook-air like laptop before the Macbook air came. But it had the usual crazy name (random string of numbers and letters) most PCs have, so noone noticed.

"MacBook Air Clone"

In North America (USA, Canada) Symbian is paying the price of not being the carriers' lapdog. Nokia has repeteadly denied to lock their bluetooth OBEX, the ability to install apps from SD card and other things like that the carrier usually ask. Google on the other hand is doing the smartest thing with Android, as they…

"But RIM is clearly committed to adding native email/calendar support in February."

I don't understand... Can't they just pump the oil out of the ship? What's taking them so long?

Lol, I have watched this scene so many times that I have memorized all the moments, and each time I try to figure out in advance what line they have fitted in each moment. And yes, I am of the ones who refuse to watch The Downfall as not to ruin any future parodies.

Exactly. Google didn't realize the seriousness of the situation until both Palm and Nortel's patents had been snapped up by the competition. So Motorola was the only choice left. That's why they paid such a huge premium over the normal stock price and the high breakup fee. See, Google comes from the online services…

Be thankful that this incredibly easy override password can at least be changed. Satellite receivers and TVs with a parental control feature have a secret feature that resets the parental control password to "no password" if you press a certain sequence of buttons in the remote. The purpose of this is to allow the…

Only the hotel manager knows the override code. The folks who clean your room don't.

People who bought "premium certified" Vista laptops with 1GB of ram (sometimes shared with the GPU) should have felt the same way. I mean, in both cases, you end up with a paperweight.
