Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015, Guys!

Let The New Year be better in everything:

- let's see 4K becoming mainstream and flooding the market with affordable 4K monitors;
- let's see all laptops including SSD drives in order to make users' experiences more pleasant;
- let's see new 20 nm and 16 nm videocards from AMD and their competition in order to see even more realism and beauty in next-gen games.

Merry Christmas to all who believe in Him and happy holiday season to the rest who still know that this period's holiday season exists because of celebrations about His birth.
