    Good thinking threatening to say bad things about a computer company if she didn't get 5 mill.


    Since no computer company has ever survived the online rants of a disgruntled customer.


    Just think about it. If she made good on her threat, ASUS would crash overnight, and Macs and PCs would continue their uncomplained-about reign forever.

    Can't we just give her a pirated copy of Windows as compensation?

    The title's a bit misleading guys... More accurately, it should read more like "Asus gets woman locked up for 10 months over attempted extortion". That was a little tabloid-ish.

    Both parties are not free of blame? What exactly is Huang guilty of? Being a pissed off consumer?


    I hope ASUS gets the book thrown at them.

    @Derry Quinn: No, I wasn't there, nor was I implying that she should "get the book" thrown at her. I was merely making a quip based on a comment by someone else. You see it's all in the question mark after the word 'netbook'. It's ok though, I understand the sutble nuances of my sarcasm get lost in translation sometimes...

    I doubt she'll get a mac. She's Asian, asians don't do macs. All the piracy utilities are written for PC's.

    @Mr.SithNinja:


    Chill out, I didn't say "never". And I definitely didn't imply it as a "BAD" thing. Actually, quite on the contrary.


    What I said was: "Owning a mac is a limiting factor, and Asian cultures are smarter than that (and even smarter than some over-sensitive, politically correct, yet a little bit douchbaggy americans), and thus they'd prefer a platform for which more interesting utilities are written, and which permits a more free flow of information".


    Notice the absence of "never", "always", "all", "none". Notice the presence of "prefer", also find the implied "generally" and "IMO".

    @Pretolo: Um no. What you said was:
    "I doubt she'll get a mac. She's Asian, asians don't do macs. All the piracy utilities are written for PC's." That says since she is Asian she is a pirate and therefor wouldn't own a Mac. That is a generalization based on a racist stereotype.


    What about your other post of "If Asians use laptops the way they drive - she probably forgot to turn it on." That one is even MORE orverty racist and completley uncalled for.


    Not matter how you try to spin it. You are a racist douche.

    @Mr.SithNinja: How about if I say you're a hypersensitive PITA? Without referencing your age, gender, national origin, religion, sexual preference, driving or computer operations skills, or method of earning a living? Is that OK?

    I'm sure someone will go PC on my linguistic alteration as it is probably offensive to either welsh or new zealanders, but either way both parties are too drunk to care.
