Porsche Designs a Laptop
An anonymous reader writes "Cnet is reporting that BestBuy is selling a porsche designed widescreen ultra thin laptop the looks almost exactly like a Tibook. Sadly, it runs windows so no one will actually want to use one for real work, but it looks pretty cool for minesweeper. Ah, I guess that the TiBook is no longer a status symbol if you can run Windows on it. It has all the trimmings, like those "made for windows 2k stickers" that get the screen all nasty when you close it."
slashdot is pathetic.
Then why are you here?
Oh you Linux people! Zealots!!!! I do real work with Windows. I love Windows! I don't know why I even come here and have to read this stuff. I hate /.'ers.
Jesus, lighten up.
No kidding. I almost choked when I found out they were producing an SUV. But that new V10 GT is fucking schweet.
I realize you're just karma-whoring for the "Funny" mods, but this is just lame.
... what's the '?' if not step 3? Step 2.5?).
First of all, you've screwed up the joke (there are only 3 steps, not 4, and you didn't even bother numbering the third one
Secondly, your post isn't even funny, because it probably pretty much IS their business model, and it's not a terribly bad one at that. Pretty much anyone can take a "ho-hum" Wintel laptop, leech a couple good design ideas from here and there, and with the proper marketing and bundling, will usually come out ahead (i.e., "profit").
You're lucky I don't have any moderator points or you'd already be off the map as a "-1 Troll" (Slashdot needs a "-1 Karmawhore" moderation)
