Your best bet is to look at specific models of laptops that interest you and then use google to find out if Linux works well on them. Typically, Linux works well on Dell Lattitudes and Lenovo Thinkpads. That being said, when these companies

They are allowed to look into the traffic only as much as they need to in order to maintain quality service. They notice stuff like botnets and piracy because both of these activities have the potential to generate abnormal amounts of traff

Mark Cuban is delusional when it comes to the telecom industry. He thinks that it is currently operating as a free market. Basically, he is opposing regulation because he doesn't understand that the industry is already regulated by the

He shouldn't be allowed to express political views during the trial. It isn't a valid defense because his political views are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. The only purpose of the trial is to determine whether or no

I agree that Jobs doesn't deserve credit for Pixar's success. He acquired them for technology that he intended to use elsewhere, and he supposedly looked at them like a burden until all of a sudden Toy Story blew up.
