Look at you over there. Thinking you’re part of the geek elite because you downloaded some polyphonic bullshit ringtone, probably either the Star Trek or Battlestar theme. That’s for posers, dood.

Forget netbooks. Displays and portability are both overrated. You need peripherals with entire PCs shoved into them and you need them now, hungry man.
