I worked with these guys who know technology to an absurd degree. Of course they're all Asians, but it's not like they're a bunch of nerds with no lives. They live normal lives complete with gf's, jobs, social lives, etc, but they know these obscure and highly technical details about anything and everything related to electronics and computers.

Case in point, they were arguing about monitors with LED LCD panels made by LG that did not satisfy Apple's requirements for their products, so cheaper manufacturers use these panels in much cheaper monitors. Who has the time to know that kind of shit??
