In this article, Dell's President and COO says that corporate customers aren't asking for AMD chips, so that's why Dell doesn't sell them. In my career here at UNI, I've purchased several hundred of Dell's corporate desktops and laptops, and I'd jump at the chance to buy AMD from them, especially the new 64-bit CPUs. So, Dell, stop making excuses, and admit you're in bed with Intel, who is cutting you a sweet deal on Intel chips as long as you don't ship any AMD based products.

After last night's primary in Wisconsin, I think it's time for Dean to pack it in and go home. Edwards, on the other hand, got a shot in the arm from his unexpectedly strong showing, and could receive another one from former Dean supporters when Dean exits the race. The word right now is that Dean will stop campaigning today, but leave his name on the ballots. I'm ready to throw my support behind Edwards for the nomination, I've never been a big fan of Kerry, and the nomination process thus far has been so one-sided, it's left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm paraphrasing a bit there, but her point was valid.

I got the Netflix Plugin for Movable Type working today, so now you'll see the movies I have out from Netflix automatically displayed on the left side of this weblog. Some of the TV shows don't display the cover art properly, but the movies should.
