    A look at other capitalist healthcare systems

    Sick around the world. Having lived in Germany for a decade I can confirm what they say 100% about that country. As diverse as all these systems are, all countries have a few things in common: no profits, no bankruptcies.

    Blackberry Bold Questions

    I recently bought a Bold but AT&T sent me one with a broken back cover so I had my upgrade canceled for the time being because the replacement time was too long.

    Does anyone ever frequent the official PlayStation forums?

    I stopped by the official PS forums to kill some time...and boy was I shocked. It seems that everyone there is a 13 year old that blindly follows the notion that the PS3 is in every way more advanced and superior than anything on the planet. Sadly, I was one of these mindless ghouls (fanboys)...

    What notebook screen size do you like most?

    Topic. Also which do you dislike? At this point I'm thinking that 14-15" would be best because of portability. Are 17"ers generally much heavier compared to their smaller counterparts? Also are 12" too small in your experiences?
