Dell: The Musical?!
And now, as the kids say, for something completely different. Really, really, different. What do you get when you combine a bunch of mega-tech-CEOs (Michael Dell, EMC's Joe Tucci, Oracle's Larry Ellison, AMD's Hector Ruiz and Intel's Paul Otellini), JibJab-style animation, musical theatre and possibly Quaaludes? Dell: The Journey. I don't know what it is, or who thought it was just the good idea Dell needed, or whether it's the best thing ever or the worst, but I do know that you need to watch this. I don't want to spoil it or anything, but "Let's go kick some proprietary ass" is one quote I'm unlikely to forget any time soon.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Yes... Dell always looks out for its customers and does everything for good, not for profit. Right.
What they should have done is behead the Dell intern guy. That would have at least been some progress for them.

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 (only in black and white). I had to import a special cable from an US website to make that work (all the "advice" by the DELL support was contradictory and useless)
-> Their DVD burners are special version that are being made only for DELL, although they have the same names as the retail versions. 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.
Oh, an besides, the DELL support is by far the stupidest I ever encountered. Compared to them, even Deutsche Telekom is competent.
