dell launches "della"

[piranha]

especially for the wimmins, or at least the skinny ones with long hair. the reg makes all the feminist commentary necessary, so i don't have to.

dear dell. do make sure all the laptops have flowery pastel designs.

Comments

A friend of mine commented something to the effect of:

grep -l ps "all that girly shit"

(I wouldn't at all mind having a computer made up in the style of Monet, or a Flemish master, or Yoshitoshi.)

Have you looked at Gelaskins?

[ceri]

*looks*

*blinks*

Wow. You are my hero of the day.

gelaskins

[piranha]

oh, awesome! thanks for the link!

[trixtah]

Oh, yesssss.

I commented over there and pointed out my shock! horror! at the fact that there is no linkitude to the server specs/purchasing area, which might actually make the site somewhat functional from my perspective. Once I stopped vomiting from the pink and patronisation.

useful linkitude

[piranha]

i think i am just gonna unsubscribe from dell's mailing list. i'm simply tired of this sort of crap altogether.

[torachan]

I saw that somewhere the other day, maybe on Sociological Images. Ugh.

I was all 'sure, they're a bunch of twits but I can finally get my pink netbook fix'

Then I realized I could get that at the regular dell site, so fuck them.

I did notice they don't give the breast cancer donation for pink netbooks on the regular site, though.

breast cancer donation

[piranha]

oh, they don't? wow, that's doubly obnoxious. because hey, men would never want to donate to breast cancer research, and men, of course, are not allowed to like pink -- unless they're gay. which makes them less manly.

i hate noram society, i do.
