    It is Marlboro, but since a couple of months ago we have huge stickers on them saying "Smokers die earlier" and stuff like that, so the front/back logos are diminished in order to make place for that bullshit.

    Thanks. I've been out of the smoking scene for a while now and it just didn't look right to me.

    Hah, superb article. I think from now on tech sites should just concentrate on this kind of thing. Much more entertaining than endless graphs.

    man the Chris Hook vs Adam Foat stuff got me there for a minute, but I loved seeing the pic of the three of them together drinking beers. I would have given anything to be there!

    Wow, it's always scary to see the real-life images of people who were merely screen names before.

    I kind of decided that if the heart attack wasn't enough of a message to me about doing a few things to clean up my lifestyle and get a bit healthier than nothing ever would be, and I gots a family I gotta stick around for.

    No more cigarrettes ever for me, nothing but bad news.

    Truth. :)

    yeah... but you can just go to www.tomshardware.com first and load the image link afterwards.

    Well, the english language article is up now, so you can see it here: http://www20.tomshardware.com/business/200503171/cebit_2005-16.html

    btw: I also made a nice one of Dave during the ATI press conference ;) (not posted of course)

    It's a way to protect against bandwidth leeching. Get around it by opening the link in a new tab, then hit refresh to download the intended image. That's what I do in Firefox, anyway.

    I think he was trying to be funny since Lars works for THG, and he tried to post pictures from his own site which doesn't allow linking to photos in that way.
