He should've mentioned that the 3rd fastest super computing cluster costs only $5 million. That's a drop in the bucket compared to the other clusters.

The price/performance ratio for the Big Mac is outstanding.

You're NEVER goint to convince someone that OS X/Mac is better than XP/Windows. The only arguement that people have is that PC's have more games. Big deal.

The debate will never be won.

last night on a crappy show, girl tv (sis was watching it, honest)
they had a "clever girl" who had an international computer license or something. Neways, she was showing you how to keep safe online (i'd say it would have something to do with the australian child porn scandal).
This girl had a shiny new eMac and was demonstrating how to do things on it (IM, etc). Well, half of the article (segment thing), the Apple logo on the front was covered by a sticky note, and occasionally, it wasn't there.
why do you think this would be? its a network show, and their other shows use macs as props and they gave iBooks to their reality tv show contestants.
