Yes, indeed!

I really like the 4:3 ratio. I'm not happy everything is going widescreen. It's too, er, wide for my tastes.

(Okay technically I think 16:11 would be preferable, but I'll take 4:3.)

bring back 4:3 screen ratio to *books

16:10 might be good for cinema, but not for work, this standard was moved to netbook screen to cut costs (less area with the same diameter). I'll stick with my IBM T60, which is one of the latest notebooks made with 4:3 screen.

makes sense

It makes sense that netbooks would be more popular in china given that statistically chinese are ~10cm shorter than their US counterpart. As you get smaller a netbook turns into a notebook :D

And Putting The Squeeze On Microsoft, Too

How can Microsoft sell full-priced, full-featured Windows for a cut-price machine? It can’t. Bye-bye 60%-plus gross margins...

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?
