-hh
Who cares…will be watching the Canadian Junior Hockey team beat Russia to win gold tonight.
Didn’t Mr BaldyBot show a Windows 7 tease in 2010 for the HP MS Slate? Where’s that slate from 2010? Didn’t happen. Vaporware PR stunt to give the illusion of being innovative.
@ m159 – Great observation! It’ll be interesting to see who falls for it, given the utter embarrassment they’ve suffered since last year thanks to Courier and the HP Slate.
Who Cares,
(Microsoft is Yesterdays News)
That thing he sees will be tumbleweed
the noise he hears will be the crickets
the feeling he feels is the realization that nobody cares
happy 2011 Monkey boy…
