    Interesting timing.....
    Excerpts from a mail I received from XFX, a manufacturer of graphics cards, on 23/4/10


    Dear XFX Customers,

    In light of recent events, we suspect that one of our HD 5970 Black Edition Limited graphics cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialised pieces, #68 is unaccounted for. We have evidence of a security breach in our facility, thus we believe #68 has been illegally obtained as the product has yet to be released. Please be aware that the person responsible will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of a suspect, or if you can provide us with any information, please report it to blah, blah blah.

    followed by...

    holy f*ck. that's the reason i don't like apple products. they're not customisable. you can't even change the battery. you have to send it away at a cost instead of being able to change a battery yourself on eg a Dell laptop.
    i never had or will have an iPod. that article talks about how apple promotes individuality, but how many f*cking people own an iPod? they're so ubiquitous.


    that's why i own a Aldi-brand (tevion) mp3 player :P
