One thing he neglects to consider is the difference between a desktop and a laptop - the effective DPI of a screen is dependent on how far away it is from your eyes. This is why 1920x1200 is a great resolution for a 17" laptop, but only com

Interesting comment. In regards to the MBA question - the reason as many MBA's are not affected is because of the life experience MBA candidates have before applying. A decade of life experience, in the form of an undergrad degree and some

If you want to raise Venture Capital, and are looking for a big exit then it's a problem. If you are hoping to create a lifestyle business (and I mean this in the best way - I own a lifestyle business!) then it's not a problem at all. As ot

I've got an SSD in my macbook, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a faster machine. While expensive, SSDs are still worth it in my opinion - in many cases, putting an SSD in an existing machine makes a bigger difference than replaci

For me personally, I'd largely agree with your first definition - but I would expand it to services run on "private clouds" (ie, a corporate having a couple hundred virtual machines on a rack full of blades I would consider "cloud based").

Divvy will help tons: http://www.mizage.com/divvy/ Otherwise, consider getting a trackpad / trackball for when you have to use the mouse. Or even using your mouse with your left hand (my brother does this).

MSI X-Slim and Acer Timeline are both available as 15" CULV machines - not sure if they are available in the US, but they are about as close as you get to a 15" Netbook. Otherwise, a 13" Macbook Pro is also an option - 13", amazing battery

I think the one factor is purely volume. Apple has a very small range of laptops, compared with other manufacturers. And they have a relatively large market share for the segment of the market they compete in ($1000 plus laptops). Hence, fo
