no good deed

Following the outrage these last days when some bloggers announced microsoft gave them a shiny new laptop (apparently the new Acer Ferrari is the only machine apt to run vista at a decent speed) pre-packed with vista, it seems it's now time for a big 180.

After Laughing Squid announced they would auction of the laptop and send the money over to the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
Marshall Kirkpatrick, one of those lucky being on the receiving end of one of these "demo-models", mentioned he got a follow-up message from microsoft telling him - contrary to the original letter joining the laptop gift - to either give it away or send it back.

After all ... "I strongly recommend you disclose that we sent you this machine for review, and I hope you give your honest opinions."

hibernation

Although this is the perfect season to start one (if you live in the northern hemisphere), some seem to have trouble waking up from it.

You wonder where peoples common sense is to recognise a steaming pile when they see one.

I suggest to quit whining a go for a more serious solution.
