The Sager NP8660 http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4590 can be configured with a 9800M GT and T9600 for far less than the FLAMING GAY ORANGE Asus G50V. Plus, it is 15.4" (The fastest 15.4" laptop ever made) The Asus G50V is 15.4, sports the far weaker 9700M, and since it has two hard drive bays it's nearly as large as a 17" and did I mention it only comes in FLAMING GAY ORANGE? You can get a 1920x1200 MATTE screen for the Sager, instead of those glossy screens that morons love so much that hardly any other laptop manufacturer still uses them. I had a G1S, it was nice but I think it's the last decent Asus product that will ever be made. Their giant Republic of Gamers emblem, and blue blinken light bonanza plastered over a giant candy tangerine shell, it's just too tacky. Asus is so dead to me.

And if you have been given a liquidity injection recently, you can even get the x9100 and have all the fun that the Alienware kids are having. If not, as your attorney, I advise you to just buy it anyway and file for bankruptcy when the time comes.

Submission + - Amp'd Mobile Shuts Down (maximumpc.com) 1

Bourdain writes: "Maximum PC reports that Amp'd mobile will shut down on July 24th. Apparently not enough people were attracted to a phone service with a misspelled name despite the underlying network being Verizon's. Maximum PC goes on to say, "The Q&A goes on to explain that users must pay their final bills or will be turned over to a collection agency — kindly enough Amp'd explains that 'no early termination fee will be assessed.'" When looking on the Q&A on Amp'd's site, one sees something relating to their claim of CDMA phone portability in addition to the [already] legally mandated number portability. Only time will tell whether this is accurate or not suggesting that Amp'd phones might be usable, to varying degrees, on Verizon (most likely) and Sprint (less likely) as well as other smaller niche CDMA carriers (despite the seemingly rather small selection of phones)."

As part of its attack on Tanya Andersen, 43, a disabled mother living off medical benefits, it is trying to depose her 10 years old daughter, who was by the way, 7 at the time of the alleged infringement. I guess that since her mother has the audacity to deny the charges, the RIAA decides to go after her kid. The readers' comments says it all."

From the article: "Those people are not going to be allowed to take food off our plate, because that is what they are intending to do ... Enterprise search is our business, it's our house and Google is not going to take that business"
