Dell has 2 rebates from me... I've heard nothing and been able to get no where with them on it. Not what I expected! And differs from other posting here.
IT is associated with the support and information side of the industry. Technology is the innovative frontier that many of us push forward... I love how no one pays attention to this.
I completed an MS in computer science and the schools I applied to preferred I take the general GRE as opposed to the subject specific test because its a better overall measure of a candidate... How many of you had to specifcally take a subject test?
This past monday I was lucky enough to have lunch with the Apple VP of their online store. I asked him a question about possibly projecting OSX and Apple over to Linux users... His answer (almost in a laughing manner): We're not looking at that market right now, we want unix users and windows users to switch over.
Once again, Apple just doesnt read their the market at all.
A couple of weeks ago the power cable to my laptop caught on fire. I called Dell right away and the first thing the tech told me was "Please unplug it immediately"... I wonder how many people would have actually left it plugged in and called support while the fire was still burning?
Anyhow, after 2 shot batteries, 2 motherboards, and 1 fire, Dell has take back the laptop and sent me a new one... Not a bad deal, I used it for two years...
One of the hardest things on laptops has to be the amount of heat they produce... Having worked in some of the major computer companies, I know they spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out ways of dissipating the heat laptops generate....
Anyone else had electrical fire problems on their laptops?
Also reminds of a few years ago when the Mac Cubes were lighting paper on fire that researchers would mount on top of them...
