This came about because of a severe shortage of the letter u in olden times. The old country took away all of the u letters from the colonies until the shortage ended.
The main problem I have noticed on the one I got is the front end. It is nearly useless. Any OS that puts a more user friendly front end on the OLPC will be more successful than Sugar.
I had this start on my XP machine over a year ago. If I plugged in my iPod and started iTunes the system would do a core dump and blue screen. Interestingly, the core dump was detected by Norton's and Avast as a virus.
Boeing has experienced the same problems. Many of the parts for their airplanes come from over seas and other parts of the country and are assembled in Boeing's plants on a just in time basis. If a part has a problem it throws the whole system off.
Much of what you say is so correct. Dell gets more and more vice presidents every year. Most of whom were consultants that more senior VPs hired to solve a problem. Getting anything done requires consultants, VPs and a year of studies. By the time they are able to make a choice the problem has changed and Dell has to hire another group of consultants to work on how the problem has changed. Nobody stops to ask the people, who have been around for a while and were responsible for Dell's success, how to solve a problem. It used to be Dell disparaged IBM for the same business model they now practice. "We have seen the enemy and hired him."
Your point seems valid. Who is going to respond to all of these false positives? Pretty soon you will have law enforcement saturated and unable to respond to real threats.
Dell has the customer keep the image or they put their people on site to do it. That's one reason they push standard configurations for large customer.
I'm surprised any negative comments are showing up in the Apple forums. When the iPod first came out Apple was very good at deleting any negative comments in the forums.
Dell's prediction is not nearly as bad as the Dell VP I had lunch with at Microsoft in one of their new buildings when he looked around and said "This will never last."
At one time Dell had a very active R&D. They employed some of the best in the industry. Now they aren't even mentioned. Once the carper baggers got into the company, R&D became a needless expense.

Dell used to have an advertising campaign with "You Can't Get Good Chili in Taiwan" back In the PC Limited days.
I was going to say they should go at night.

It seems that having Arther Anderson on your resume would be the disqualifying point.
No two ways about it, there are two sides to every story.
Same thing happened in WA with up-skirt pix.
I am not a lawyer but I drink like one.

Most training is not to shoot to kill but aim at the center of the target area and continue until the threat stops.
I wonder what happened to the investigation into Intel paying Dell under the table not to buy AMD?
Read Brain Herbert's books. They are prequels to the original Dune series and cover the history of most of the Dune races.
