Posting from another dimension

The only person telling people what they need here is you, and with
scant or non-existent data to back it up.
Who are you to dictate what other's need, especially since you clearly
don't understand even basic physical requirements? To wit:

"Thickness doesn't matter because an object is really only as small as
it's widest point which is the dimension of the screen."

You can not even begin to justify this statement. On what basis do you
make this claim. Seeing as you have no clue what dimensions a person
is confined to, you are not in a position to dictate what the most
important dimension is. For instance, I may carry my computer in a
brief case of backpack, and while I have essentially unlimited room
side to side, I may only have an inch in depth of available space. (In
fact, this is a very common scenario.) The point is, you are not in a
position to say what the important dimension is.
As for netbooks, how is it pissing anyone off? "Executives" who want
to address that market are free to manufacture them. Those that don't
are free not to. No one is stopping companies like Apple from
manufacturing netbooks. They chose not to of their own free will,
based on a market analysis that runs counter to yours. Their 30+
billion in LIQUID cash indicates they just might know better than you.
