    @yule-and-bellow: I enjoyed the comment, but I admit these always leave me puzzled. Are we saying that Windows is crap because they have to sell their stuff so cheap to get anyone to buy it, or are we saying that Apple is way too expensive? Maybe it is meant as a double joke. In any case, I laugh both ways and have a good time, basically, because I don't know any better. #hpbestbuypackage

    @yule-and-bellow: Ok... i'm just gonna say this:

    I really like Win7, and am super excited about the launch. I'm in the process of choosing my newest Win7 machine.

    However, I truly believe that MS is trolling tech site comment boards in a very serious way leading up to this launch. This may not be an example, but I believe it's happening.

    I know brands hire agencies to do this, because I'm somewhat familiar with the process and have been involved with it before.

    For example: Over at Engadget, virtually EVERY pro-Apple comment has been demoted. I don't believe this would have been the case a year ago.

    I much prefer the Giz's handling of comments (promoted vs. hidden), but even it's not impervious to such deliberate "attacks".

    And, might I add, I felt the same thing around the time of the Zune HD launch, especially on Amazon.com.

    It's a shame because it's deceptive. It's so clearly engineered to skew comment boards & product reviews at a time when MS's products are actually very high quality (i.e. they shouldn't need to do it).

    @jfwaterburry: Did you notice that so far (as of the posting of this comment) the only shown comments for this article are a.) one that mentions that you get all that for less than a 13" MBP and b.) that someone else doesn't know whether MS sucks or Apple is overpriced and they don't know any better?

    I'd say Giz has a mild case of Engadget's Syndrome. #hpbestbuypackage

    @caine3320: Right now, in fact, there's zero comments on this article about Microsoft sucking at all, hidden or not. Actually, all the articles about Windows 7 just seem to have less trolling from Apple fanboys since it's technically not even out yet. Things that legitimately suck, like IE or Windows Mobile have many more negative comments. #hpbestbuypackage

    I can totally see that working in certain situations. I just gave blood and the Red Cross folks had to go through a checklist of factors with me ("have you every had sex with a intravenous drug-using Ugandan elephant?"). It would have been handy to have a screen like this, if the desk setup were right. It would also be useful at places like college registrars, where they often have to show you the information on their screen. So of course it's not for everyone, but maybe it has its place.

    In reply to Giz Explains: What's So Great About LED-Backlit LCDs
    Another reason RGB backlighting is better than simply white LEDs is because many white LEDs work by emitting blue light, which excites a substance that fluoresces yellow, filling in the "white" light, but that results in uneven colour that you may notice with cheap LED flashlights looks kind of "hollow" or strange.


    Also, the human eye is more sensitive to variations of green, and for that reason you also see RGBG pixel arrays in things like image sensors and a few displays.

    @cash907: Not everything can be easily understood in just a few words. If life itself were to be thoroughly explained in a sentence spanning no more than five words, the singularity created by this compact set of supreme insight and understanding would probably undo existence, or at least suck in all celestial bodies in the vacinity.

    @Skeetz: The terrible downside to succeeding in actually capturing the essence of life in total in a single, succinct sentence, is that no one would be able to appreciate it, not even you, since the instant you come to that epiphany, you blip out of existence.
