  1. Re:Nothing to do with Facebook on More Users Are Shunning Facebook · · Score: 1

    As far as I am concerned, this has more to do with how Facebook (and others) are used against people in the work place, at school, by insurance companies, by lawyers and even during pre-employment screenings. As it has been legally supported by court rulings that it's okay to use that information for those purposes (despite the fact that it hinders certain constitutional amendments, the separation of personal and professional life and more), it comes down to the users having two choices: participate or not participate.

    I saw this LONG long ago and I decided not to participate as the best option. I think others are beginning to see it as well.

  5. Re:My $1650 HP TX1100 tablet failed on NVIDIA Gets Away With Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    That laptop failed over two years ago. Rather than going for small in its replacement, I went the other direction. I bought a Sager NP9280 with an i7-975 desktop processor and an NVidia GTX-280M. This monster is a incredibly powerful machine that serves as my desktop machine that I can take with me when I have to. For the most part, I am very happy with it except I am really disappointed with the video drivers NVidia provides. There is some sort of periodic lag that others have experienced and I have never been able to get rid of. The closest I have been able to get in figuring out the problem is there some bug with the power management that has existed for a long time and NVidia doesn't feel at all inclined to fix.

    Trust me when I say that I am completely and totally done with NVidia.

  6. Re:I wish this suit was on slashdot earlier on NVIDIA Gets Away With Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    You have no options. The deadline for filing a claim is long past. This was for people who already had accepted claims. I have an accepted claim and probably won't even bother sending my failed tablet in for the "replacement". I don't want to give them the satisfaction of sending me that piece of shit.

    I will take my revenge out on NVidia by never buying another product they had anything to do with. HP was already on my list.

  7. My $1650 HP TX1100 tablet failed on NVIDIA Gets Away With Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 2

    I sent in my claim and was shocked at what they claimed was "similar value". I am not going to even bother sending mine in. I am sure that will make NVidia happy. Except that I will never buy another product with the NVidia stink attached to it. I am not likely to buy anything HP either.
