    In reply to Acer Says "We Can Finally Pass Dell"
    Well, if that counts as something, Acer really did reopen their doors here in Brazil recently... they had closed doors some years ago.

    Means they are trying something at least.

    As for the products, I have one older Acer laptop and a newer Dell.

    The Acer, from Acer Ferrari series, despite getting quite hot I never had to use it's warranty once... over 4 years I have it now.

    As for the Dell, I had 3 mobo exchanges due to the shitty nVidia graphics chipset (which I'm never buying again, nVidia is over for me on laptops). But no other problems besides that. Also, Dell's warranty is pretty awesome here in Brazil.

    Few other companies sends people over to your house to fix the whole thing in front of you.

    I made the mistake for buying two Acer products because of the cheaper prices and seemingly comparative specs.

    That were till both laptops sparked out AND burned up on me!

    One were an Aspire, the other a Gemstone.

    NEVER AGAIN. I now avoid Acer like the plague!

    Dell's been good to me, though. I might just be lucky.

    In reply to Acer Says "We Can Finally Pass Dell"
    Well Dell DID just pretty much dismiss the mini-netbook rage, didn't they? Or did I hear that from a bad source?

    Netbooks are becoming a big thing, in either case. Honestly, if I wasn't such a stickler, I'd pick one up myself. But I need the power of a full laptop, and ideally, a full desktop at home, as well! (update: a la Michael Dell's comment, I'd be pretty unhappy within a week or two when I want something more powerful/better, and only have a netbook with me) Still, for some people, a netbook is all you really need. But I play my games, and work with media, and programming/compilers, etc. Too much for a netbook in my opinion, unfortunately.

    Edit: Whoops, that was Michael Dell, not Dell. But basically it equates to being Dell as a whole, anyway...

    And it was a good source: [gizmodo.com]

    @TuxBobble: With Inspiron Minis everywhere these days, I doubt they missed the rage.

    That said, I think the Eees, and Toshiba and HP Minis have the market locked down.

    @Xeno: Right, I forgot. This is 2009, the year MS is perfect and beyond critique.

    Did you watch the video? The Zune browser doesn't even match the iPhone from '07. But then again, no one should be surprised right? I mean, IE 8 doesn't even match Mobile Safari.

    I personally love Windows Mobile 6.1!

    At least HTC got WinMo right, now I'm just waiting for my 6.5 upgrade.

    I'm glad that it hasn't already launched, because it would most likely be half-baked. Now that they're throwing 1000+ people into the project and they have more serious competition than ever, I know they'll keep it in the oven until it's something that people will actually want on a phone.

    I'd much prefer delayed quality to immediate crappiness.

    Ok, now that we've heard it direct from Ballmer, can we finally make with the "WinMo sucks" jokes without getting caveated and counter-pointed to death? Hmm? Let's find out.

    WinMo sucks. Die!

    Afterward he told the writer to get out of his lawn and raised his stick menacingly to some children down the street who were laughing at him in an attempt to deny their own mortality. A few blocks further a chinese man was doing laundry for a mexican man eating a taco and wearing a sombrero. The stereotype police quickly intervened, leaving only 2 mildy wounded and 3 dead.

    You know what's also a bad idea?


    Piling on hidden costs during a Recession to the point that people en masse write their representatives in Congress demanding anti-trust action.


    What thinking went into "Bruce Springsteen is a big name act; let's squeeze every dime out of fans in New Jersey because those people are nothing if not meek and Bruce will certainly play nice with us."

    @OMG! Ponies!: No question, but at least most artists make money on selling tickets to their shows, whereas most lose money on selling albums. The major difference is we are willing to spend a hundred bucks plus on a ticket, and consider a buck too expensive for a song.

    I haven't been shocked by static buildup, but many years ago on the old CRT-based iMacs, I once wiped some dust off the screen while wearing earbuds plugged into the PC... YOWCH!


    ...then I immediately got a few of my friends in the same computer lab to try it, hehe
