IMHO, manufacturers could EASILY choose better-designed keyboards for laptops, at nominal extra cost. But since they've proven unwilling to do so, they should at least standardize keyboard sizes, connectors, etc., and make it trivially easy to swap them out with 3rd party units.
Save your pain and just go with IBM/Lenovo. They are still the standard bearer when it comes to keyboards (despite what they have done).
That, and you don't have to have a cut-rate quality netbook attached to it. An older X series can do just fine and still fit the bill.
Was there any bit of responsible disclosure, because it sounds a bit like "killing the messenger". While there may be discipline in order, this seems to be overkill if he was really intending to do the right thing.
One thing it really does is pull the rug out from under those vastly overpriced $2500 SONY mini-laptops. The only reason to buy those was small size, and that reason just vanished.
Not really. Those Sony mini-laptops still have a bit better construction and hardware than your cut-rate netbook. Asus can try again when they stop cutting corners by using Realtek, using sub-standard(never mind them taking forever to get close to XGA) displays and all over construction. Not a Toughbook, but something that at least tries to make a stab at quality.
Never mind who pays for it, will the subsequent marriage be forced for the sake of morality? Or will he claim that they had no authority to prosecute him, claiming that it was a Democrat witch hunt?

Two of these are not like the others. One is known to be an unprosecutable Melamine Country, and the other is known as an unprosecutable Offshoring Country.
One can only guess who's going to get away with their crimes. It also seems that it's trollish to point out the facts.
One consistent thing with Asus seems that they don't seem to do quality (EEE or not, a lot of their stuff looks cheaply constructed/designed). I'm not talking about quality that the Far East may be used to, but the quality that this side of the world had.
Is too much to ask to attempt a model without those knockoff/cut-rate components(and not use an ODM)?
No, I'm not talking about Apple here, but Asus as their own brand.
By the time moderators read this, it will probably be too late. No -1 Troll for you, modbombers.
Two of them and barely half the price of the Thinkpad I just got rid of. Admittedly the Thinkpad is much more powerful, but in my experience, not a lot more useful, and I certainly would not carry it around in the flap of my camera bag like I do the eee.
An x30, x31, x40 or such would have certainly been able to fit the same role, outlast that netbook, and not have cut-rate electronics in it (e.g. Realtek/VIA). Move down the Thinkpad line, not down in quality.
That, and you don't have the issue of screen space. The worst they get is 800x600.

It'd help if you didn't have a convention that didn't have a proven history of overzealous law enforcement. Especially if it's with accredited journalists that didn't have the blessing of being from The Far Right's Blessed Voice, Fox.
There are large and non-ignorable sizes of the population that want quality and do not get it. However, they've yet to figure out how to make it obtainable by mere mortals without using cut-rate brands or allowing knockoffs in the process. That is when this kind of machine would be impressive - quality without exorbitance.
With regards to quality and not price: Cheapness is weakness
Then I'll be impressed - provided that it's of the same size/similar functionality. Cut the SSD's in favor of less write-limited drives (or give plenty of eSATA ports, and cut back on SSD's). As long as said machine wouldn't end up being a crippled/significantly slower machine with cut-rate parts(read: Realtek, VIA and similar manufacturers), it would move a lot faster.
I'd hope that with that kind of costs they have already, that a good chunk of the parts(including electronic ones) were US made.

...governor. Now it will have it for a while longer.
The only shame is that this will be an end to the "series of tubes" jokes.

No sooner, no later. They get a huge bill and a court record, and the person gets a new phone for your efforts.
However, they'll get a replacement phone and the perpetrator who damaged the phone gets something on their record and a not-so-small bill.

Plus if they'd bought it through google maybe they'd be concerned about a shareholder backlash
With the multiclass shares that prevent shareholder backlash, there would have to be regulation first to flatten them.
It's one thing to be able to have Java, but can one put arbitrary builds of the entire Android stack on the G1 of your own choosing?
First thing would be to remove the kill switch and replace the bluetooth.

Sounds like that's about when most of it's packed up and leaving.

As other posters have stated, that is not always an option to go off-campus. Bring that option to the dorms at the normal costs as off-campus housing.
No need to enrich those who'd have a captive market with off-campus housing.
That would certainly make for a lot of cases of adverse possession
He may not be the only one going to prison if the buyers aren't returning it.
The final version removed some of the stuff that's needed, just grab the betas.
...they have Firewire(or a ready expansion port) and can run OSX in some form quite easily.
The only mistake Lenovo's made was killing Flexview though.
