    "does Weatherbug know something about next Tuesday that I don't?"

    Quite the opposite. You know something, Weatherbug doesn't know. Specifically, that it is called Tuesday.

    I'm pretty sure the google spel chek was done on purpose. From the company that does a bunch of April Fools things each year, I'd expect as much.

    Please keep in mind that, at least in some countries, languages other than English are spoken! Of course it is called "Mardi" after the world has ended.

    where did AVG find the record on the startup time, since it probably wasn't able to measure it itself?

    I don't see the problem with the AVG one. My computer used to take a minute to boot, but now it boots 36 min before I turn it on. It is really quite convenient.

    Note the word "hospedia" on the right-hand side.

    "Hospedia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

    Hospedia Ltd is a provider of bedside communication and entertainment units in UK hospitals."

    So yes, a UK hospital. Looking at the wikip article on Hospedia, they definitely qualify as (redacted) (redacted) (redacted)s, and I'm being charitable here.

    Tsk. 3600% faster means "at 37 times the speed" or "in 1/37th of the time". So if it used to take 37 seconds, now it takes 1 second. For my Win7 machine at home, 1/37th the time-to-desktop is less than the time before the BIOS wakes up the graphics card.

    Best part for me was the blanket ban on mobile phones.

    Nevermind the WLAN access points on every corner in the same hospital. Not to mention that the ICU was in a completely different building. And the diagnostic instruments are shielded anyway.

    American hospitals are soooo much better. We get "free" cable tv included in the price of our $8,000/day hospital stay. And the ibuprofen only costs you $3 per pill!

    By that reasoning, you shouldn't install Windows. Who making an operating system cares to build in a web browser and silly games rather than optimize file access and management?

    Oh, wait, that started out as a reduction ad absurdum argument, but now I'm thinking it sounds like a good idea ...
