I don't understand all this talk about blocking and avoiding.

When I get spam from legitimate companies I raise holy hell.

I just had Soft Surroundings decide it would be OK to send me marketing after I ordered something online. As far as I know, Soft Surroundings is a legitimate company, my wife has been buying stuff from them for years. When they decided it would be OK to start spamming me, I emailed all the standard addresses (sales@, president@, postmaster@, etc.) and told them what I thought. After they promised to stop and didn't I called their 800 number and started yelling. They did stop.

I don't expect spam from legitimate companies and when I get it I figure that's what they have 800 numbers and sales departments for.

Don't let these guys get away with this crap.

Dell Adamo Review — Macho Outside, Sissy Inside 144

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday April 10, 2009 @03:29PM from the playing-catch-up dept.

Odelia Lee writes with a full review of Dell's new Adamo slimtop over at Gizmodo. While it may have an sleek exterior there are definite gaps (both literal and figurative) in their engineering. "The Adamo is both a compliment and an insult to Dell engineering. It's possibly the most beautiful computer Dell has ever manufactured, but I'm not sure that Dell has caught up to competitors in either aesthetics or power. There have been lots of qualitative Adamo reviews out there, but we got the first of the units that will actually ship to customers, so it's time for real benchmarks. As it happens, performance is really what's at stake here."
