@Xagest: Carbon has 4 valence electrons. In diamond, all four are used to create a 3-D covalent bond network.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.3: Really? Having 30 days of standby time means almost nothing to me. I have electricity at my home. I use my computers every day.

@optimusprimerib: No, it exists because some people can appreciate outstanding industrial design and engineering and an unparalleled user interface experience.

Life and the world are big enough to accommodate both online friends and physical world friends. And they don't have to overlap. If they do - cool. If not - accept it and make the best of it.
