1. Comment - Dell tries again with its XPS 730 high-end desktop gaming system

   (May 5, 2008 - 7:38 AM)

   The thing that’s odd about all of this is where are the Alienware people? You would think after Dell’s acquisition (purchase) of Alienware a while ago; they’d have referred to those with the most experience, and success in building high end PCs.
   
   Although we now refer to them as "Alien-Beware", only because they now have that dELL stink on them.

2. Comment - Is Vista dead in the water?

   (Apr 12, 2008 - 10:06 AM)

   A tall, hairy, slumped shouldered apelike being was thought to have been seen with the code for what some have identified as Windows 7, somewhere in the woods of the Pacific North West.
   
   As it turns out, they were only “upgrades”, not to software mind you, but to his shack in the woods.
   
   People, THERE IS NO WINDOWS 7! Get over it, stop dreaming!
   
   VEESTA, BUILT BY H1-B WORKERS...

3. Comment - H-1B limits met after just one week of petitions

   No one ever reports that, that is, once you're off the unemployment list, as far the government is concerned, you're no longer unemployed, whether are still seeking work or not.
   
   I couldn't tell you how many friends I have, with Master Degrees no less, who’ve recently visited the employment line. Entire MIS departments have been off-shored, while consumer prices from those very same companies rise, and at the same time profits sore.
   
   Aside:
   
   The company I was referring to is a huge power company. Yes, they’re all privately owned and operated, and enjoy massive tax breaks, while spewing coal burned (coal? why are we still burning coal in the 21st century?) pollutants into the air. This specific company, which serves a large urban region in the northeast, is so arrogant, not only do they exceed state pollutant requirements, but the much softer federal requirements (thanks a lot Cheney) as well.
   
   After years of violations, the state government finally said you’re going to have to clean this crap up. The company’s response? “We can’t afford it (scrubbers that is), we’ll just shut it down instead.”, leaving tens of thousands of people with no power. The state's response? We can’t have that, let’s wait another 5 years and test it again.
   
   Who the heck is driving the bus in this country?? Sorry for the rant…

5. Comment - Dell plans pay reductions, product feature removal, and over 8,800 job cuts

   Cutting compensation, cutting personal, optimizing logistics? Where in any of these statements have they promised to improve their products, cure support woes? I mean what, they found another village of slave labor to assemble their PCs cheaper than China?
   
   Dell fell to the number two global PC spot behind HP/Compaq NOT because there weren’t profitable enough, but because their company’s brand quality fell drastically, and deservedly so.
   
   How such mega multinational corporations like Microsoft and Dell, who’ve grown so successful, have fallen so far from the path still amazes me. Fact is, consumers are NOT sheep, not as dumb as they think we are. Especially Americans, we’ve had enough with cheap disposable Chinese crap from these companies, who not unlike Wal-Mart, depress wages, eliminate our jobs and benefits, all with one objective in mind – Wall Street. Who cares if your product reputation is crap, as long as its profitable? Mike, Bill, etc., how have these people become so inept, so ignorant, so apathetic so quickly? I’ll tell ya how. Give me a couple of billion dollars, and I wouldn’t care either. But at least I’d have the sense to step down.
