Invasion Of The Inexpensive, Linux-Powered Laptops

Moore’s law is at it again, and the latest sacred cow to be slaughtered by this force of nature is the notion that a laptop need weigh about 8 pounds and do everything that a desktop can do.

Well, the iPhone mass hysteria is nearly over and I think I did a pretty good job of not joining in. I did spot one story on Valleywag however, that I thought was quite funny and worth sharing.
