Sublaptops: Better or Worse Than the Regular?

Link to article: http://tech.msn.com/guides/holidaytech/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=11884513>1=40002

What is it about?: There are new laptops: sublaptops. They're almost the same as the other ones but the questions is are they better?

Positives about the mini laptops:
+ Lower price
+ Smaller and easier to carry

Negetives:
- The screen may be a bit too small for certain people
- There's not as much space
- The battery life might be much to less

Positives about laptops:
+ They have a big screen
+ More space
+ More battery life

Negetives:
- The price
- not very portable

So over all, which one is better?

My opinion:
If you need the whole package(space, long battery and things like that) the laptop might be better. If you need a laptop without a big reason(me) you should get the sublaptop. It really depends on the person and their reason

symbiotic relationships

What Are Symbiotic Relationships?:
Symbiotic relationships are a relationship between two living organism in nature. There are three types of symbiotic relationships. One of which is mutualism where both the organisms benefit. For an example a bug-eating bird and a tree, because the bird eats the bugs and saves the tree from being harmed and the bird gets food. The second relationship is commensalism where two organism have a relationship where one benefits and the other is not harmed. One example is barnacles and whales. The barnacles get a place to live, while the wale doesn't even notice them. The third and the last type of symbiosis is, parasitism. Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. An example of parasitism is dogs and fleas, the fleas get food and a living space, while the dog gets really annoyed by them. Those are all three types of symiosis.
