Watching the gamers nexus review, that seems not true? Outside of expensive.

It's been awhile since I've read it, but it does offer a similar approach in the sense that it's an easy read. Bret does a good job of making the various topics fun and interesting, even in areas I normally wouldn't be interested in.

As a side note, I've read some interesting critiques on Diamond's theories. But I did find the whole book to be an interesting perspective, even just thinking about things North America lacked such as animal husbandry that may have drastically changed the way it developed.

They did do one, but the US only slid into top spot somewhat recently it looks like?

Chipping in as another Googler - agree that it is team-specific, but you generally can bring up development environments (in terms of what traffic is served, closed to the public, etc.), but these aren't actually run locally.
