Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks

Posted by michael on from the buy-them-by-the-pound dept.

ducomputergeek writes "Cnet News.com is running an article that Wal-Mart plans to launch its own line of notebook computers. I wonder if these will run Lindows or XP. We've purchased a couple low cost boxes with no OS's for cheap file servers and they've worked pretty well."

    So Wal-Mart rapes their suppliers into taking a bare few percent profit margin. Guess what - I DON'T CARE! I don't have the luxury of being supported by Mommy and Daddy so I can spend my time bitching about how "immoral" and "evil" Wal-Mart is - in fact, I shop there all the time, because saving a buck is the most important end for me; as long as they can provide cheap electronics I don't care how much they pressure their wholesalers.

    The vast vast majority of the illegals were "owned" by a company Wal-Mart outsourced their cleaning to. Anyway, aren't Wal-Mart hating liberals supposed to swallow the line that nobody should be an "illegal" alien because this is the Land of Opportunity and all should be welcome with no restrictions? Just food for thought. (see Cali for a prime example, hell, illegals can get licenses there IIRC)

      I'm neither conservative or a Wal-Mart lover; the parent was Wal-Mart bashing with patently untrue statements, the hallmark of a liberal Wal-Mart basher. W-M does a lot of very shady things, but the illegals simply weren't hired by them, and had very little to do with W-M proper.

      What's wrong with the law declaring people who entered the country illegaly being declared illegal? The abuse of said people by companies is a whole different issue, but saying the law is to blame because it denies these people legal worker status is bleeding-heart liberalism of the worst kind.
