    Recommend a general all purpose desktop replacement laptop (15-17")?

    I was thinking for the OP and you the best one would be the new HP Envy 17 inch, its way lighter than the previous versions. Also the LG Gram looks like a solid candidate.

    Twitch Relents And Allows Breastfeeding On Stream Amid Controversy

    No, i don't think it's stream material, she's just doing a publicity pun. For the ones in favor, how to draw the line? Why stop there? Just allow sexual content and be done with it.

    Drivers Blinded by “Too-Bright” LED Headlights on New Cars, Warns RAC

    A 27' one may be choosen because a bigger monitor may be needed. Icons may appear small on a 24' screen, making the preference go for a 27'.

    Software Sets New Record for Solving Jigsaw Puzzle

    The real problem here is the ability for the computer to detect what image fits where. If they get that right, all they need to do is atribute a x/y coordinate to each piece, and then use a numeric algorithm to solve the puzzle. But most likely, it fails to diferenciate between similar images.

    Could it be a Blue Christmas for Blu-ray?

    I'm gonna make the assumption that a very low percentage of the population, do not see DVD / BL . Assuming that means they mostly (like, 95%?) only watch TV. Make TV broadcast with 1080p quality, and Bluerays, HDTVs and all the likes will have a BOOM in sales. What do you think?
