Wow isn't best buy going out of business?
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

I think this is just too late if you as me, this generation is starting to move away from laptop and even netbooks, tablets and cell phones are taking over.

I 'still' don't like the sounds of this "cloud" idea, no matter how you wrap this up.

I don't need to use it to know that a cloud-based mobile device is insane. That said, I have tried chrome on my old laptop, and yes..it is very fast...but what good is it if you can't do pc stuff? If I just want to do basic stuff like email and web browsing, I use my phone. When it comes to a laptop/netbook, I want gimp, OpenOffice, and audacity...installed so I don't need any connection at all.

And your comment is uncalled for, off topic, age discriminatory & rude. Not that I give a banana's sodomy revenge to a monkey's ass, but I can't help but wonder what motivates an individual to just blindly blurt out such nonsense.
And in reply to Zippy, I was under the impression that the same impression myself (that they were going out of business), but it was hearsay. I don't remember seeing anything in writing about it.
