Your an idiot. AMD Doesn't even make solid state drives.

I love this situation with solid-state drives

(Sorry, my sleeping patterns are screwed up, so my comprehension has taken a hit)

I love how solid state drives are taking a hit. See, they're bad ideas for things like laptops and anything bigger than a scientific calculator, unless slimness is also a concern, which isn't necessarily the case.

The thing is, they won't always be that way. There will come a point where they really do use less power and really will start to compete with hard drives. The trick is, though there's no guarantee this trick will succeed, is to invest in the solid state drives companies when they've hit bottom and keep them for the 5-10 years it takes them to become popular. Maybe take 5% of your assets and equally distribute them across all the major companies.(maybe less than 5%, I'm far from being an expert)

It's the same reason I've invested in 200 shares of AMD. You don't want to invest in popular companies, you should invest in companies that should BECOME popular.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
