Enderle's Ferrari Laptop
deminisma writes "Hilarity abounds as 'analyst' Rob Enderle gushes over his new Ferrari/Acer laptop. The laptop apparently even plays the sound of a car revving up while booting, which Enderle seems to think is all the rage at meetings."
"custom AMD processor"
.... the same one you can get in a HP ze4000 laptop?

Rob Enderle is the founder--and as best I can tell, sole employee--of "The Enderle Group." Basically, he started calling himself an expert on stuff, a few online 'zines believed him, and he got famous on Slashdot for badmouthing Linux.

That is only part of the joke. It's an old European joke. Never heard Carlin tell it, but it wouldn't surprise me. As I heard it, it goes like this:
In Heaven: the chefs are French, the lovers are Italian, the police are English, the mechanics are German, and the managers are Swiss.
In Hell: the chefs are English, the lovers are Swiss, the police are German, the mechanics are French, and the managers are Italian.

The lid, bottom panel and top area around the keyboard and palmrests are all pure titanium. The frame is carbon fiber. The TiBook has poor wireless range because the signal is shielded by the titanium. The antenna is not "next to the airport card," it runs all the way through the case to the two windows on opposite sides of the machine. Thank you for making a series of blind guesses and passing them off as fact though.
