There are many examples where the British version of a term is more felicitous than the American version. "Jab" for "injection" is not one of them. It grates on the eyeballs, or at least my eyeballs. It's as if we s

If you did a comparison with "random American woman" I'm betting you'd find even more similarities. IMO, there's nothing particularly distinctive about Johansson's voice. She's certainly no Lauren Bacall,

No, they just raise the entry level to 16 gigs (or whatever) and charge the $200 to upgrade it to 32. As you correctly point out, their margins on RAM are quite high.
