Comrade, You Are So Not Getting a Dell

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the touchy-touchy dept.

theodp writes "At the World Economic Forum, Michael Dell's pitch to help Russia with its computers got the cold-as-Siberia shoulder from Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. 'We don't need help,' shot back Putin. 'We are not invalids. We don't have limited mental capacity' (video — rant starts at 1:24). 'Our programmers are some of the best in the world,' Putin continued. 'No one would contest that here — not even our Indian colleagues.'"

    But why did you mention Europe? The parent post was talking about Russia and the economic situation there. You may as well have said, "Not quite as tough a spot as those starving Ethiopians!"

    Maybe if you went somewhere with it, but you didn't... just left it at "Europe is worse off," which even if true isn't at all on topic.
