Zarqawi's laptop

Apparently a raid that nearly resulted in the capture of terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did have one rather large payoff: we got his laptop. From this, our intelligence agencies have confirmed that he's working on recruiting and expanding his network outside Iraq. They now believe he is far more of a threat than Osama Bin Laden. He's reaching out to Ayman al-Zawahiri, for example.

No word on whether Zarqawi is a Mac guy or a PC guy.

Hmm, if he's hidden from US troops this long, he's got to be using Mac OS X's heavy security and advanced firewall. If he was using a PC, they would've found him about five minutes after he turned it on. (Roughly the same time 20 advertisers, 12 hackers, 4 dirty-site-operators, 19 spammers, and a 12-year-old from Singapore did the same.)

And who would expect a PC laptop to hold up in the desert for more than a week?! Heck, the hinges on my Compaq laptop fell off after about three months, and that was just sitting on my desk! :-D

Compaq? No wonder. The IBM laptops were build like ROCKS. You could drop them from planes.

Er, I meant that they'd SURVIVE a fall from a plane like a Mac; not that you'd WANT to drop Macs from a plane. :-D
