Yeah I can see where that would slow you down.

Blank pages in printed material used as design element - it helps the design of good looking books (no blank pages in newspapers!).
The writing - 'This page intentionally left blank' - introduced only when digital copies of books sold on the internet, and while paging side-by-side (and not page-by-page anymore) readers got confused...
It's equally true today, so the one don't see blank pages is the one do not read printed books - I'm pity him...
In internet design there is no meaning of pages, like it was in books (even the word 'page' used in both) - so no meaning of blank pages...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The writing has been around for a long time. Legal documents such as contracts have always used it. Technical documents such as flight procedure manuals have been using it for many decades. Phd Thesis and published papers often use it.

Not true at all.
It is often used in physical documents where (for layout or other purposes) a blank page is required, but it is important for the reader to be sure there is nothing missing. e.g. in a legal document. Without the wording one may think there is a printing problem

While that is certainly a legitimate use, why didn't they just put a page count on it? If they're worried enough tthat the viewed document is not complete due to printing problems, nothing beats a page count! (especially when you print it in the form "page 7/23" to indicate not only the current page number but also the total number of pages)
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Would the page still be considered blank if the ads only come in popup windows or sidebars?

I am seeing a new icon in my system tray. Why? What does it do? How do I get rid of it?

I'm looking for a high resolution 17"+ laptop for the missus, and finding something that has a touch display with better resolution than 1920x1080 and a 4th generation i7 is surprisingly hard. Weight is not an issue ...
Any ideas?

I found some listed on USA sites but they were like 1200 + USD
And you are right they are hard to find, most are lower grade system for email, light games and facebook viewing.
I guess that is all people do with them any more.

I may have to go for an external screen, but I have trouble convincing the missus that this is a good idea ...

if you use an external screen then you may as well go for a desktop and save allot of money and get more in the system.

Hi Espen,
I was just "window-shopping" today, looking at reviews of large-screen note-books on EnGadget: [^].
I am definitely not to going to buy a laptop, but if somebody else paid for it !, I'd like something like this: [^].

Looks nice, apart from the screen resolution - 1920x1080
