    The photos on the website are absolutely stellar. Its truly an exciting product and I would love to try one out for myself one day. Some of the notebooks even boast backlit keyboards. It looks like they’ve pretty much thought of everything.

    The Ruff PC is built with magnesium alloy to military standards to withstand extreme environmental conditions and common causes of damage.

    The Thinking Blog is holding a free laptop giveaway where all you have to to enter is write about the contest and the water resistant laptop. These things are sure to be generating a lot of buzz. I couldn’t resist putting in an entry of my own.

The whole thing just seems really amateur.  I don’t really know about hacking but it was pretty easy to recover from the attack. No problem really. At least it gave me an excuse to post at 1:30 in the morning.
