In the description, she doesn't mention how the wine was poured, how long the bottle had been open, or how many glasses were poured from the same bottle. The wine was then transferred to another glass -- why wasn't it then transferred back to confirm the initial result?

The slim, champagne-colored magnesium notebook—which is only a quarter of an inch thicker than a Motorola RAZR cellphone—will include a magnetically attached folder that will be available in different fashion colors. That folder will also be able to charge up the laptop wirelessly, and ladies (at whom this design is clearly aimed) can attach a strap to it and make it look just like a purse. Jeez, what else did they include in this beauty?
