I think these comparisons should be made based on the amount spent on the computer. Apple has great customer service and makes a fantastic product but the cheapest one on the Best Buy website is $950. You can't compare that to a $329 Toshiba. No sh*t your Mercedes Benz is better machine than my Ford Taurus. It's…

My thinking too.

As far as I can tell, this is for consumer-class laptops only. These surveys and studies and whatnot virtually never include business-class laptops (Lenovo ThinkPads, HP EliteBooks, Dell Latitudes and Precisions), probably because the data usually comes from third-party warranty providers like SquareTrade who don't…

It's important to note that Dell, Lenovo and HP make 'business' class machines and lower price consumer grade PCs. Lenovo's T series and X series are rock solid (and heavy) but their lower end machines aren't nearly as high a quality.

iTunes on windows sucks, is horrible, and should be blamed first before anything else. My experience with iTunes was so bad it made me leave Apple products entirely (so I could uninstall all their iTunes/QuickTime shit) and I've been much happier with much more stable systems ever since.

My company actually had a horrible experience with Lenovo desktop workstations, and went back to Dell after so many problems and issues.

"If I purchased based on anecdotal evidence I heard from friends and colleagues, I'd assume Apple made the most reliable machines and DELL and Sony made the worst."

These would be the "help I downloaded everything off the internet that I've ever seen and now my computer is slow, it must be Microsofts…

A hard drive that has both a solid state and standard hard drive. The bulk of what's stored goes in the standard, but data that's loaded the most often is stored within the solid state portion. In this way you can get faster load times while still having a large storage capacity.

You forgot a few items:

Best matching angle of the Sorento I could find.

"I know! Since we had such a hit making our mid-sized economy sedan look like a 10 year old Aston Martin, let's make our only halo car look like an even bigger older 2-door version of that."

Ok, so Fusion-y headlights and a slightly more Aston-y grille. Nothing groundbreaking here. I'm not complaining.... it looks sharp. I just thought it was going to be more radically different.

I also especially like how the ad sort of hedges its bets by stating "Pre-supposing brains in it's owner," which is perhaps one of the best automotive advertising disclaimers I've ever heard.

I actually use my ISP's usenet server. it's weird like that.

After using Usenet years ago and dealing with wading through virus infected files and the hundreds of links to child porn I haven't touched it in years. I'll stick to BT and private trackers. I don't download a lot of hollywood movies or music (every once in a while) so I'm not in the spotlight as much for the lawsuit…

just torrent over unprotected wifi...did that at Starbucks a few times. ;)

Good lord thank you for saying this.

One advantage that Torrents in general have over Usenet is the ability to find things you want RIGHT AWAY. The retention rate is a big deal if you are shopping for a usenet provider.
