    MSI, not all they're cracked up to be.

    Thankfully scratch 'n' sniff never caught on
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    I love the ad, what made me laugh is the idiots on Youtube, stating a man could not catch a Laptop with his butt, and stating the ad was a fake, Oh 'really!
