    Awesome. Too bad she didn't wound him instead. Imagine him then having to go back to the rest of the terrorist cell buddies and explain to them that a woman took his AK-47 and shot him with it...

    @Aashish Bhagyanagar: I know. I still think it would have been funnier if he had to explain how he lost his gun. His friends would zing him afterwards by setting him up on a suicide mission to redeem himself and then give him a fake bomb. They'd secretly video tape him trying to set the thing off. Then when he returns to their hideout, cave, whatever they'd play it back while everyone rips on him..

    Well, it's Skype... decrying this move as putting more crapware on our shipped OS's is like complaining if the vendor installed MS Office (not crappy works) for you for free, or even if Firefox or Chrome were installed for you. It's good software. IT professionals deploying across a fleet and power users like me will just go ahead and wipe off the shipped OS in favor of a clean/custom set up anyways.

    Am I alone in wondering why people are so obsessed with XP and stuck in using the interface?

    When I hopped to Vista I thought the interface was superior, though it faced some issues. W7 is even nicer. The W7 RC is just beautiful to behold, why would you want to uglify it?

    I find that the video playback is sorely limited by the capacity, and if my thumb is dry, playback can be a little choppy.

    Yup - have the T400 and it popped up. They use to do this before but I was able to uninstall the app. I have no idea how to uninstall it now. I have posted this on letsfixthis.com - hope lenovo listens [www.letsfixthis.com]

    In reply to Lenovo Installs Adware With Latest Automatic Update
    I only buy lenovo laptops for most users (and a couple macs) - I always do a system restore on new lappys, custom style, and un-check all the bloatware. other than having to do that, I have no complaints about lenovo.


    and none of my users get those ads, since I don't let message center run on anything.

    I've owned four consecutive ThinkPad Laptops, and I have to say ever since Lenovo took over the ThinkPad Line the ThinkVantage software has gone from helpful to outright crap. I guess this is what happens when the Chinese Gov takes over a good product ( the chinese government owns the majority of Lenovo). I would not be surprised if there is spyware on there too. I wish IBM still made them, too bad really.

    if the nerds at slashdot can't fix it there's no way i'll be able to troubleshoot this over the phone with my mom. hopefully someone can come up with an easy tool to run.

    Thinkpads are really the only PC laptop I'd ever buy. Aside from the durability, it really has one of the nicest keyboards I've ever used. After growing so accustomed to the trackpoint, I don't even care if the trackpad is the same tiny POS found on most PC laptops.

    HA! My company issued me that exact laptop a few weeks ago. It was part of the "swine flu contingency plan". Now all I need is a truck.
