Why you should have, and use, external backups!

OK... can someone say... external backup?...

That's just bad IT'n.

What the F#@K!

I seriously don't understand why this person was not sentenced to death. He should be tortured but then kept alive so he can witness his own body being dismembered... then left to die. Then have the body parts thrown in a garbage dump...

laptop/notebook/netbook Idea


Alright, here's the new Amazon Kindle DX.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2346639,00.asp


Ok,... so this device has built-n evdo (3G wireless capabilities), an accelerometer, 4GB of memory,... etc...
All this in a device that's as thin as a pencil and about as large as a sheet of paper (10.4*7.2).

And,... we also have pretty decent touchscreen technology (iPhone/touch) out there. So how come there isn't a laptop/notebook/netbook/whatever computer the same size w/a touchscreen capabilities (and color since the kindle only uses 16shades of grey), and I'd actually say a virtual keyboard too... Maybe. The Kindle has a qwerty at the bottom. looks ok but i doubt you could speed type on it.
Now add bluetooth, wiFi, up the HD space and I'm sure it would sell just a much as that airbook apple put out.
Now price it around $800 - $1000 (the Kendle DX is ~$500) and you'd make a killing!
