A 40 year old computer scientist, I dabble in many subjects, most unrelated to one another, from computational models of human memory to distributed software cooperatives. Discovering India by road and rail especially the many forgotten nooks off the tourist map, long distance driving trips, reading, a little writing, cryptic xword solving

Liked the blow by blow account you gave of your whole deciding and buying experience. I also liked this machine since it seems a laptop that can act as both a multi-media m/c and a business m/c (after some futher loading).

A good review. The cast and acting were very good but I felt the movie dragged a bit. More suited for theatre than cinema was my take.

Costs are very low, if I read more...

Liked your review. I thought Cruise was not too bad and the problem was more with a difficult to credit story line esp. the equation between Cruise and Watanabe. But yes, it is a very watchable movie. Vivek
Hi, A very passionate, articulate AND informed review, a rarity. My knowledge of urdu is minimal but I had Ranjish hi sahi translated for me a few years back and enjoyed it very much. Vivek

Wow, Thats one brutal review. Hazaar attitude. Found it very refreshing and liked the 'lets sock it to them' approach.
