    Antártica is not the best, Fruki is IMO the best one. David Beckham was one photographed taking one home (not payed publicity).

    I use a Chromebook for development as well. It's $100 computer and it is just fantastic. I throw it around with such peace of mind, and the battery life is just incredible! It has …
