No self-respecting alien overlord would come near this backwater.
Not even for laffs!

The laptop and desktop are dead.
Long live the workstation and portable workstation.
...
I like the term 'workstation' as it defines where these devices still provide for a strong need - work (ie, content creation). I agree that laptops/desktops for consumption-only is generally overkill these days (outside of hardcore gaming, as the only exception I can come up with off-hand).
I can see good, solid, not-overly-cheap (but-worth-the-price) workstation-class machines going on for a long while yet. The cheap-end will likely be eaten up by mobile though.

I saw a (on the surface) farily well-branded 'Woolworths Customer Survey' phish.
Though I am pretty sure Woolworths don't operate out of eastern europe.
And I get the same emails on my work email (named) and other work email (department section). Nether of which have any reason to talk to a supermarket, bank, etc.
On the other hand, I spent weeks binning the official internal bulliten because HR decided to issue it from a 'cloud' service rather than via the internal domain (morons!).
Biting the hand that feeds IT
