is your handphone and/or laptop LYING to you?

saw this post on /. which led to this article "Your laptop is lying to you" which writes about the indicators we see in our devices are actually manipulating us psychologically. partly agree with the laptop case (my Intel laptop provides 'time remaining' but my AMD laptop doesnt), and i believe the handphone case would hit most of us. check it out and see if your devices lied to you too ;)
