Si vous cherchez un petit portable, je trouve cette machine dure à battre pour le prix: processeur double-coeur 64 bits @ 1.6Ghz, 1Go RAM, 160Go HD, plus de 10 heures d'autonomie batterie (je ne miserais pas trop sur le 14 heures annoncées!), bluetooth, webcam... c'est vraiment bien! Petits bémols cependant:

1) il vient avec Windows 7 Starter 32 bits, alors l'architecture 64 bits n'est pas exploitée (mais une petite distribution Linux 64 bits peut corriger ça facilement! ;)

2) le système à démarrage rapide Express Gate (basé sur Linux), quoiqu'intéressant, n'est pas à résolution maximale (800x600 au lieu de 1024x600), ce qui rend l'expérience moins agréable (d'ailleurs, je me demande comment Asus a pu laisser passer ça);

3) le fini brillant est vraiment beau... tant qu'on n'y touche pas! C'est un vrai "fingerprint magnet" comme disent les anglais;

4) les hauts-parleurs intégrés sont décevants: le son est de moins bonne qualité que sur mon Asus EeePC 701 4G Surf de génération précédente.

Mais sinon je l'aime bien! :)

I knew from the previews that the movie was a weird blend of CGI (all dragons and draconians) and 80s-like cartoons (everything else), but I was hoping that the quality of the rendering of the story would make it for the lack of eye-candyness. I was disappointed... I don't want to be harsh, I know all the work such a movie asks, but if someone hasn't read the books and see this movie, he/she won't even have a hint to the inner and complicated turmoils of the characters: the movie concentrates all its attention on action, everything goes too fast, and we don't have time to learn about the characters, who they are, what they think, what they want. I watched this movie with my wife, who has never read a DragonLance novel in her entire life, and she found the movie very childish, not at all designed for adults, but she nonetheless said she was entertained and that it could give her the desire to read the books. Personally, I had the overall impression of watching old "Masters of the Universe" cartoons... But, hey, I'm a DragonLance fan, so I ought to buy it and I don't regret it.

No verses, no prophets stories, no FSM words. Overall, only two chapters or so are spent at describing FSM deeds in a Bible-like manner. But the book is nonetheless a "must have" in my opinion: Bobby made a very good job at describing current holes in natural sciences and explaining why FSMism could easily plug into them, all of this in a non-stop hilarious fashion. For me, it really was a great fun to read. Nevertheless, I do would have liked the text to be divided into verses so to better cite The Prophet...
