Let's start up an SE++ circle.
The power had fluttered and when I restarted my computer the card was dead.

They're certainly not a new concept, but I have a feeling that Google would be able to execute it better than anyone.

Really I'd go with a slightly older business class laptop, like a Dell Latitude E5420 or IBM Thinkpad X201. They're not always the prettiest, but they tend to have better build quality and toughness than consumer laptops, which can be a pretty big deal when you're overseas.
they look very cool
I'd definitely think about one if I didn't already have a netbook

Price of what? Google stock?
ah, I just added an underscore to your email, that's why
It was everything but a case and PSU. Included a 27" monitor, new mouse, and new headset in on that.
Radeon 6970 2GB
i7 2600k
8GB of DDR3 2133
128GB Sata 3.0 SSD
And a Z68 mobo with the crossfire from Gigabyte
Not that I am buying right now. Just getting an idea of prices before I build a new on in a few months. I'll probably swap the mobo for one that does SLI and get a GTX 570, though.
I assume it is the bitcoin crash at Mt. Gox
hilariously, in a system that takes pride in not having a central authority that controls monetary policy, the exchange simply cancelled all the transactions following the sell-off that resulted from the hacking of an account that had a massive position in bitcoin

I hope/bet it's bitcoins.
edit: haha, yesss
here is another one that reflects transaction volume:
notice that the sale volume for $0.01 is substantially larger than any of the other transactions
that's because the people who trade in bitcoin are fucking retarded

with these motherfucking bitcoins
on this motherfucking board.
Here's one thing you should know: Do not buy Acer laptops.
A friend of mine bought one which was severely overpriced, labeled as a gaming laptop despite not really having the specs for it (It did have half a decent GPU though) and the kicker was that, for some reason, updating the drivers did not work. His gaming laptop ended up only being capable of playing wow, and after like 2 years it died.
Also worth noting is that when I worked at a computer repair shop the owner had piles of computers for scrapping in the back room. The highest pile was always Acer.
Otherwise, as someone else said, business laptops are usually pretty robust. A lot of low end consumer models (around the 500-700€/$) are usually fairly shitty. There are some exceptions of course, but I haven't looked at laptops for a while since I avoid working on the hardware on them if I can avoid it.
IT security and malware design in particular ain't what it used to be.
Very interesting if I do say so myself.
