Cool, but I couldn't help thinking: What a waste of time!

Nice!

Personal-computer makers are counting on ultrabooks to challenge the MacBook Air, Apple's best-selling laptop, which is less than an inch thick. Still, Hewlett-Packard isn't trying to compete on price: The new Spectre is $100 more than a MacBook Air with a 13.3-inch screen. Hewlett-Packard is emphasizing the laptop's premium features and design, a bid to reach the "savvy fashionista" market, said Page Murray, a vice president of marketing at the company.

"There's always someone who wants to win the race to the bottom," Murray said. "It usually ends with a splat."

Did HP call Apple's pricing of the MacBook Air 'race to the bottom'?

My how the times have changed.

Nailed it!

Another case for piracy.

The studios are shooting themselves in the foot. They're trying to annoy their audience into paying more. It's always bad business to annoy your audience.

Eventually, the studios will have to give in to the new distribution channels and they'll be forced into giving their customers what they want. That way, they'll make more money eventually.

Awesome Tech.

This opens a lot of possibilities to create things that makes the mind boggle.

However, this renders pictures and videos very untrustworthy. I mean you can insert anything into any photo and it would look like it really is part of the initial photo.

Nick Ross:

One of the main reasons we all have anti-piracy slogans embedded in our brains is because the music industry chose to try and protect its existing market and revenue streams at all costs and marginalise and vilify those who didn't want to conform to the harsh new rules being set.

I agree with most of what he says. Good read.

Now if the Rebels can resist being overtaken by islamists, the country may have a real shot at democracy.

Holy Crap!

That's really creepy and gruesome.

Apple reports $28.27 Billions in revenue, a rise of 38% over last year's same quarter and 'Anal-ysts' are disappointed.

Some clueless idiots pull numbers out of their collective asses and when Apple doesn't meet those arbitrary numbers, the market punishes it.

Does it feel like clueless betting by those 'Anal-ysts' to anybody else?
