Laptop Guide Articles

I have finished most of what I believe will be a series of articles concerning purchasing a laptop. I got the idea when I was called for advice concerning laptops and what particular purchase to go for. Furthermore, I was suprised to find that there were not as many articles which described in very simple detail what to go for, specifically concerning video cards and general hardware. Here are the articles listed:

Five Things To Check Before Buying A Laptop

This article was meant to be the simplest article, which gives the information in as summarized manner possible.

Choosing The Right Laptop Form Factor

This article was meant to be a guide for choosing the physical make of the laptop, overall it turned out really well and I personally wish I knew some of the stuff in that article when I went to purchase a laptop.

Choosing The Right Laptop Hardware

The hardware article is the most important article because it is where most people go wrong and also the most critical aspect as upgrading laptops is difficult

Choosing The Right Laptop Software

The software article could just as wel be a general computing article truly, as it does not specifically go with laptops.

Adolf Hitler's Skull

An interesting article I found on Associated Content concerning Adolf Hitler's skull being said to be female. The main reason I find the article interesting is that the details concerning Hitler's death have always interested me for the simple reason that someone that caused so much trouble died in such a seemingly simple way. It has always amazed me when a dictatory has managed to get power, given how easily that same dictator could be potentially killed. As such, I think it says something more about a time period or a nation than an individual person. I live in Australia, and I just do not think a dictator could rise to power without being killed by someone pretty quickly really.

Also, topics like this interest me because of a strange phenomen where the more important something is the fuzzier it gets. For instance, religious articles on wikipedia are less reliable than articles on chlorination of methane because the first is considered more important and thus keeps being edited, new information, etc. It reminds me of how many people have gotten away with killing celebrities, because so much effort went into investigating the matters that it produced more leads, and thus more doubts, than a normal investigation would have. JFK assassination comes to mind.

Anyway, the article is here.
