+ <description><p>The movie "<a href="http://www.takepart.com/internets-own-boy">The
+Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz</a>" is both inspiring
+and depressing at the same time. The work of Aaron Swartz has
+inspired me in my work, and I am grateful of all the improvements he
+was able to initiate or complete. I wish I am able to do as much good
+in my life as he did in his. Every minute of this 1:45 long movie is
+inspiring in documenting how much impact a single person can have on
+improving the society and this world. And it is depressing in
+documenting how the law enforcement of USA (and other countries) is
+corrupted to a point where they can push a bright kid to his death for
+downloading too many scientific articles. Aron is dead. Let us all
+weep.</p>
+
+<p>The movie is available on
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXr-2hwTk58">Youtube</a>. I
+wish there were Norwegian subtitles available, so I could show it to
+my parents.</p>

- <description><p>Several people contacted me after my previous blog post about my
-need for a new laptop, and provided very useful feedback. I wish to
-thank every one of these. Several pointed me to the possibility of
-fixing my X230, and I am already in the process of getting Lenovo to
-do so thanks to the on site, next day support contract covering the
-machine. But the battery is almost useless (I expect to replace it
-with a non-official battery) and I do not expect the machine to live
-for many more years, so it is time to plan its replacement. If I did
-not have a support contract, it was suggested to find replacement parts
-using <a href="http://www.francecrans.com/">FrancEcrans</a>, but it
-might present a language barrier as I do not understand French.</p>
-
-<p>One tip I got was to use the
-<a href="https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb">Skinflint</a> web service to
-compare laptop models. It seem to have more models available than
-prisjakt.no. Another tip I got from someone I know have similar
-keyboard preferences was that the HP EliteBook 840 keyboard is not
-very good, and this matches my experience with earlier EliteBook
-keyboards I tested. Because of this, I will not consider it any further.
-
-<p>When I wrote my blog post, I was not aware of Thinkpad X250, the
-newest Thinkpad X model. The keyboard reintroduces mouse buttons
-(which is missing from the X240), and is working fairly well with
-Debian Sid/Unstable according to
-<a href="http://www.corsac.net/X250/">Corsac.net</a>. The reports I
-got on the keyboard quality are not consistent. Some say the keyboard
-is good, others say it is ok, while others say it is not very good.
-Those with experience from X41 and and X60 agree that the X250
-keyboard is not as good as those trusty old laptops, and suggest I
-keep and fix my X230 instead of upgrading, or get a used X230 to
-replace it. I'm also told that the X250 lack leds for caps lock, disk
-activity and battery status, which is very convenient on my X230. I'm
-also told that the CPU fan is running very often, making it a bit
-noisy. In any case, the X250 do not work out of the box with Debian
-Stable/Jessie, one of my requirements.</p>
-
-<p>I have also gotten a few vendor proposals, one was
-<a href="http://pro-star.com">Pro-Star</a>, another was
-<a href="http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/libreboot-x200/">Libreboot</a>.
-The latter look very attractive to me.</p>
-
-<p>Again, thank you all for the very useful feedback. It help a lot
-as I keep looking for a replacement.</p>
-
-<p>Update 2015-07-06: I was recommended to check out the
-<a href="">lapstore.de</a> web shop for used laptops. They got several
-different
-<a href="http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/411/lang/x/kw/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X_Serie/">old
-thinkpad X models</a>, and provide one year warranty.</p>
