Dell is on fire

<< < (8/9) > >>

worker201:
Did Sony's stock dip when they had that rootkit cd thing a few months back?  Probably not - I don't think anybody really understood what was happening.  But 4 million battery recalls is as clear as day.

$ony mostly ... Dell not as much.

I mean Dell makes cheap (but often shitty) computers ... but they are far less shitty than Compaq so they're ok with me, not I would ever buy a Dell.

I think $ony has recently aquired some bad management ... they are likely to continue making blunders until the management gets replaced or they go bankrupt.

Plus Dell beats the crap outta the competition when it comes to being green:

H_TeXMeX_H:
The Dell battery recall was recently expanded to many more batteries ... all by $ony. I just got an e-mail about it.

piratePenguin:
'Tis interesting what this HAL guy is thinking of doing with all these batteries exploding..

And he actually wrote a patch for it: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-September/006218.html

Dunno if it'll get in - there's a lot of bitching about it. But, damn, that ain't a bad idea.
