All PCs or just brand PCs?

This is only for brand PCs or include a estimative of all PCs including the ones build at home and small companies? Because desktop you can build in your home, but a note is a *little* more difficult

netbook != notebook

I find it silly that a netbook is considered a notebook for the simple reason that it cannot run most apps. It really is a 3rd tier.

Now I don't argue that portable PC outselling stationary ones is noteworthy. I just don't think Asus sells more notebooks then Lenovo because many of the devices they sell will not run programs like MATLAB or photoshop.

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?
