    @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

    In reply to Nokia Booklet 3G Hands On: Nice Netbook, But How Much?
    Thanks for the review Joanna. I'd be curious to know how much actual mileage you get outta that battery. I don't know if I'd get used to the chicklet keyboard thought. I didn't like it on the MacBook so I returned it (that and the damn thing was dog slow). As far as the SIM goes if I were using this I would probably just tether the phone instead of SIM swapping. The price is definitely going to be the real ballbuster here. If Nokia has any hopes of penetrating the market with this thing the price has to come down. I mean seriously who do they think they are, Apple...

    In reply to Make Your Own Laptop Sleeve Out of Any Fabric
    Office Max has printable laptop skins (yes, I know, not the same as a sleeve, but offers more decorative possibilities). I've got one on my Powerbook. The down side is that they have to fit in a regular printer, and are thus somewhat undersized for most screens.

    Know, can anyone tells me what happens when you minimize the thickness of an all plastic laptop (as they'd have to do to mimic the thinness of a Macbook Air) but would not happen if metal were used (as in the Macbook Air).....Anyone?

    Cheapness != Value.

    plastic case with this dimension is doomed. Apple product design has more than just looks.

    my acer aspire one a110l has also plastic case, and is hacked/modded to the fullest (touch, ram, sdd, 300mbit wlan, bluetooth, esata)... this thing fell to the ground 100times, was disassambled 10times and goes with my dj-gigs all the time ...... just curious , whats so bad about plastic case? the iiview A2 would be great because i wouldn't need the external monitor nor my external esata-drive. just the netbook + scratchlive-box .....

    @tiki tuka brumey: That's fine on a 9in machine - the plastic is decently rigid at that scale. Take it up to 12in, and that thing is gonna twist.
