    These kinds of all-in-ones totally suck to work on, I dont have 4 hours to tear apart a frickin computer... Gimme a DELL tower and I'll be done in 10-30min. Plus DELL gives me overnight parts. #lenovoa70z

    You know what? The A70z would be perfect for people like my parents who don't need an open upgrade path and are operating on a serious budget. Even though it's a business line computer I'd probably hook them up with one as a gift. #lenovoa70z

    Just buy a Mac mini or other mini-PC and hide it behind a kleenex box. Done.

    @Jerry: You're right. Dell Dimensions serve a wonderful purpose.


    I mean, how many hectares of low-pile industrial-grade office carpeting have been amply held down by the weight of a Dell Dimension tower? So, as far as preventing the furnishing from floating off into space is concerned, a Dell Dimension is a wonderful solution. Also, there are few computers as qualified as a Dell Dimension in the attraction and herding of office dust bunnies.


    Face it, Dell Dimension are the Ensure of the computing world. They get the job done but not in a particularly pleasing manner. That said, I am surprised and pleased that even the functional (in the same way that a run-of-the-mill plastic stapler is functional) Dell Dimension has someone of your caliber to defend its honor.


    To the Dell Dimension Fanboy! Hip hip...

    Now to address your comment. Dell no longer makes Dimension labeled machines. Therefore a Dell Dimension = Old + Busted.

    Tesla sucks.


    Their biggest album "Five Man Acoustical Jam" is a decent live, acoustic album, but it doesn't make up for the fact that they were an unremarkable hair band from the dying days of hard rock.

    Gizmodo has their facts wrong.


    In 1943 The United States Supreme Court ruled Tesla as the primary inventor of radio in a patent case dispute brought before them.


    So Marconi was not the inventor of radio. It has been a mistake that has been perpetuated over the decades. Marconi was a thief and a liar.


    I'd love to go to a museum built at Wardenclyffe in Tesla's honor!

    @Span_Wolf: He was rich at one time, then lost it all trying to invent something that would have made people's lives better, because nobody wanted to finance a project that produced unmeterable (free to all) energy transmission.
