President Obama blames former President George Bush for Team U.S.A's loss...
|

|

Why not? He blames Bush for everything else he does wrong.
|
|
|
|

he wouldn't be much of a politician if he accepted the blame now would he

What world cup?
I only watch MSM.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

One of my heroes, Tom is! I have all his albums (the vinyl kind that go round and round) and a music book of all his songs.
Will Rogers never met me.

Yeah, I had them on the shelf with my 8-Tracks 
Discovered him listening to Doctor Demento.

Gads! Dr. Demento! That's where I first heard most of his stuff, though I have to admit that one of my teachers was rather savvy about ecology and played "Pollution" for us in class - probably 7th grade or so. I didn't catch the name, but never forgot the song or the voice. When Dr. D played them on his show every Sunday night, I sat in rapt appreciation of the sheer genius of the performer. Good times...

That's actually good news. If tablets are what the most people are buying the parts for my desktop pc will become cheaper
Currently I am using a cheap tablet with almost no extras. I use it just to read my pdfs while I go to work. But my desktop pc is another story

My thoughts exactly
I am currently using an absolute beast of a PC which I build for under a grand (GBP), monitors and all, if PC's were in demand it would have cost a lot more.
I say, lay back and enjoy it, it's a hell of a toboggan ride.

Only if there is a glut of parts... if all this is true the parts suppliers will cut back, manufacturing quantities decrease and costs go up.

I don't see your logic, unless you're talking about second-hand or remaindered parts.
PCs, like everything else, got cheaper and cheaper as demand for them increased -- say it costs n to make one video card; it doesn't cost anything like n*10,000 to make 10,000 of them.
As demand decreases, batch sizes will get smaller, and retail prices will go up.

My logic was that they will have to compete with the tablet and other similar devices if they want to sell something.
There is no logic for the prices to go up, because if they do everyone just gonna go and buy a laptop or tablet. And their prices are going down. So there is no logic to raise the price of the desktop pcs

Hmmm.
The way I see it, when the masses of ordinary Joes realise that they don't need a PC or heavy laptop, but can do everything (IT) they need with a fondleslab, private PC owners will become rarer and rarer, eventually turning it into a niche market -- and we all know what the prices are like in that playing field.
