Sleep Cycle

The last thing I want is a fire-prone iPhone* under my head all night, keeping nice and warm (hot) under the insulation of the pillow.

LG preps '14in screen in 13in chassis' Ultrabook

Yes, we understand you hate the US, but you don't see other countries taking the piss or mocking flags of countries they have beef with.
