I review the 14-foot laptop from The Shack (nee RadioShack), or try to.

  From the article: I’m not great at math, but RadioShack.com has a 14-inch Toshiba laptop that weighs 5.8 pounds. A 14-foot laptop would be twelve times the size of a 14-foot one, so it would presumably weigh about twelve times as much. That means that the giant laptop weighed slightly under seventy pounds. I'm hoping this is a joke, but I'm really not sure...

    Saw that one too. Did a Charlie Brown sigh. I've filed educating people in basic geometry right along with correcting people who misuse "begs the question". Its in the folder marked "training cats and other lost causes". Also, please, please, don't name it "THE SHACK". I feel dumb enough going in there as it is now. "Hey, where are you headed...?" cringe

      It was obviously a joke. There is no way anyone could look at that massive laptop and say, "wow, that weighs less than I do."
