Also there are a lot of people who don’t need a ton of speed, extra ports and power. If you use your computer for Office...

A weird thing I see online from time to time.

There is a weird thing I see online from time to time. A recent example was when someone wrote an article accusing me and David Karp of being assholes for starting a site that made fun of homeless people (which we had nothing to do with):

-Well said
I’m back from my various holiday trips now. I probably could have taken today off, but being back is actually a huge relief.
