alright, lets hate Dell, but name another computer man. that will replace your notebook if u accidentally run over it with your car.... best warranties, thats why Dell does so well with businesses
dell sucks the use refurbished parts to make cheap pcs that break down quickly and charge you for tech service based in a 3rd world country where english is their 7th language
ok then go buy your $400 notebook somewhere else and talk to their support and when they ask for a credit card number to replace a part under warranty then you will buy another dell
Propaganda to promote globalization and turn all of us into slaves! The beging of the destruction of fair open competition. Why the hell are we allowing this crap to happen. This is more than an attempt to entertain. This is the future as envisioned by many Corporate and political leaders! Be aware and be prepared to resist!
God, even by astroturfing standard this sucks bad. Another attempt by Corporate America's to disguise a hokey message in something that started off as free expression ... has all the elegance and style of dropping a bowling ball on your foot.
ZOmg i hate dell hes the worst computermaker on the planet except for billgates but he doesnt make computers all he does is make the os but sill DELL is turning int HELL.
I think this is somewhat ironic, givens dells policy of ignoring standards in computer design. Tried to fit someone elses atx psu in a dell server? Still, its nothing that can't be solved with two sticks of dynamite and a match.
Just because linex is almost free don't mean that Windows is absolutly crappy. Windows is pricey cause they're are the best operating system. Lots of people use Windows. I don't see any way that Linux could catch up with them. Dell is in the right place at the mo
Actually, Windows is the main cause of proprietary HELL. Windows actually blocks out the customer from changing features that are important to security...want it done? Pay MS to do it. Also, defraging is only a problem with windows, because of its horrible coding. It's easiest to hack as well. It is no where near the best. LINUX IS free...not almost free, and is also the best available ;). as far as not being able to catch up..they are getting there.
Windows is not the best operating system. For every purpose there is a right tool. For some purposes Windows serves right. For others, I wouldn't see a way Windows to catch up with Linux ;)
they aren't trying to go viral with this, it's something that they used in a presentation and somebody for some reason thought it would be a good idea to put it here. maybe not such a great idea. Well it's funnier than most powerpoint presentations anyways.
ok the ad IS a bit much ... but I've bought all 3 of my home systems from Dell and they all lasted until I decided to upgrade to the next motherboard (1 every 3 years for the past 9 years)... all I know is I had nothing but a great experience... but yeah the ad isn't going to convince anyone, if anything it's going to make them scratch their heads..
A few examples of DELL and proprietary solutions from my one (and last) DELL computer:
-> completely proprietary CPU cooling solution
-> TV-Out that produces a signal that no ordinary TV can display. I had to import a special cable from an US website to make that work
-> DVD burners: The firmware updates for the retail version won't work on the DELL version, and - of course - DELL won't release a firmware update of their own.
I think they should spend more time improving their customer support than making silly videos. I have purchased 3 Dells and have had the worst experience every time I contact support.
Maybe instead of lip service and retarded "cool" clips, they could put their money where their mouth is and actually spend money improving their abysmal customer service.
Um, Oracle and EMC are the kings of "Proprietaryville". What tool wrote this and thought people would buy it? And are they just ripping off JibJab's style, or did JibJab whore themselves out for this?
If you looked geeky up in the dictionary I think this is what It would come up with.
