Its a great insight. What happens when your laptop is 'fast enough' for the
forseeable future?

~~~

Then you start running into failure. Modern electronics isn't really built to
last, so having a laptop that will last you more than 10 years is extremely
unlikely.

Until market demand changes to quality, long-lived electronics, you will still
be rolling over your computing device every couple of years. And then there's
always the trends and cycles of fashion...

~~~
wmf
Yeah, but 10 years is still a lot longer than the 3-year upgrade cycle many
people are on today.

I like it too. I might even use it, if there are enough high quality
participants.

I read the whole Theory page and it struck me as blah blah blah blah blah,
_except_ for these two points:

1\. Conversations on topics you want, going on right now; 2\. Karma keeps the
quality high.

To me those are the core, and they're a pretty cool core. If I were you I'd
strip everything else out. And emphasize those two things on the main page.

Personally, I'd drop the recommendation system, or at least drop talking about
it. There's so much tripe surrounding that kind of thing that, when I read it,
I noticed that your credibility instantly dropped in my mind. I'd rather you
put your effort into making it really easy for me to browse/search what's
going on so that I can make my _own_ choices. Recommendations won't make me
want to use your site if there isn't a lot of value there already. And if you
do develop a kick-ass way of recommending related stuff, don't talk to me
about it, just show me a few suggestions unobtrusively and I'll eventually
catch on.

I also like the slogan "chat rooms that really work".
