Does AS5 clean up that much easier than AS3?
Ceramique is much, MUCH easier to remove that that
darn staining AS3.

I generally use an eraser (you know, the pink things on the end of those archaic mechanisms called "pencils") to remove any stains from an accidental application of AS.

I like Ceramique. I've seen several reviews that put its performance slightly ahead of that of AS 5. Additionally, it's 100% non-conductive, which really doesn't affect much, but it makes me feel better about having it on my CPU.

What exactly are you rolling your eyes at? I don't know if it's superstition, just chinese and japanese people don't like using the number 4 because of the mentioned reason; it's pronounced the same as 'death'. It applies to everything.
When I got my new car my dad requested that there be no 4's in my license plates. (I'm chinese btw)
It's just like how buildings don't have a...13th(?) floor. (oops, just saw that the review covered that too.)

chinese people dont like a lot of numbers..like 1314 because it means one alive one dead..but they like 8's..means u gonna earn a lot of money..theres a lot of numbers they dont like..but i honestly dont even care..and 4 does mean death..if u were chinese and u read it..4 sounds like death in chinese..

From my experience, death is also a much more sensitive subject among some older Asians than it is here in the US. Not among all Asians, but for some it is a very touchy subject and they'd likely get upset if you were to joke about death or approach the subject lightly.
And just to clarify, it's the pronounciation of the number four - shi - that is similar to the pronounciation of death.

Yeah, it's the pronounciation of 4, I didn't mean to say that's what it meant.
