    Wow, thievery is getting pretty awesome. Remember back in March, when robbers made off with 20 Mac laptops without touching the floor? And now, in a decidedly less sophisticated heist, a trio of amateur Romanian thieves have made off a display version of Asus’ sexy NX90 laptop, which we saw announced at CES.

    They appear to have simply walked in, nicked the NX90, and walked out. The guy and the girl were probably running interference. My question is this: how do they know that thing wasn’t a display dummy?
