I’ve never owned an apple, and although they seem to own the market when it comes to MP3 players and superior graphical software, I’m still a hardcore PC fan. Charity is always nice, though.

I have never tried an APPLE and never want to, sorry. But this is truly awesome. Bravo for the good cause.

[...] Iako ni Microsoft ni AMD nisu javno objavili kriterijume niti listu onih koji su se “osevapili” od pisanja, nakon Å¡to je primio svoj BoÅ¾iÄ‡ni poklon blog-er LongZheng je uspeo da sazna imena joÅ¡ nekih sreÄ‡nih dobitnika i da svojim pisanjem pokrene ostale da “priznaju” da li su ili ne dobili “poklonÄiÄ‡” od $2,200. Najoriginalniji dobitnik je svakako LaughingSquid koji je svoj poklon ponudio na aukciji a sav prihod namenio Electronic Frontier Foundation koja se promoviÅ¡e slobodniju upotrebu digitalnih sadrÅ¾aja i bavi zaÅ¡titom digitalnih prava korisnika Internet-a. Koncizan pregled stavova sukobljenih strana oko ovakvog poteza Microsoft-a i AMD-a moÅ¾ete proÄitati na blog-u Mitch Denny-ja (koji je dobio Acer Ferrari 1000). [...]

[...] Windows Vista Laptop on eBay, Proceeds Going To EFF: So regarding my infamous Acer Ferrari 1000 Windows Vista laptop, I think the best thing to do at this point is auction off the controversial laptop on Ebay and donate the proceeds from the auction to one of my favorite non-profits, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

[...] So, unless you live under a rock, away from all the social media and web 2.0 buzz, you’ve probably heard that on December 22nd, MicroSoft gave a bunch of bloggers laptops. However, all did not go as planned – there was backlash and more backlash. Many bloggers and readers felt that this was a MicroSoft “bribe” (a few decided to auction or give the laptops away, though most kept them). THEN – apparently what started off as a “you can keep it if you want” ended up being “this is a review PC – please return it or give it away when you’re done” (along with some tips about disclosure). Which was even worse. The blogosphere got really mad! [...]

And couldn’t you find a better way to spew your poison Prashanth? If you don’t like it, don’t read it. What’s being done with the laptop will benefit all of us through EFF defending our digital rights. Including, I guess, your right to subject us to your senseless and deprecating blather.

Didnt you find a better way to get free publicity you idiot? Why dont you just keep the laptop or send it back? Why do you have to be a crusader?

[...] A idÃ©ia da Microsoft foi deixar a escolha do blogueiro, apÃ³s o review, oferecer o Ferrari em promoÃ§Ã£o aos leitores ou devolve-lo a Microsoft. Como a escolha era livre, e nÃ£o era condiÃ§Ã£o obrigatÃ³ria devolver o laptop, entendeu-se que o blogueiro poderia ficar com o equipamento. Com as discussÃµes sobre Ã©tica e afins que aconteceram na internet, a Microsoft estÃ¡ esclarecendo a todos que receberam o laptop que se desfaÃ§am do mesmo. Scott Beale deu o pontapÃ© inicial e jÃ¡ estÃ¡ leiloando o seu Ferrari 1000 no eBay desde 28 de dezembro Ãºltimo encerrando dia 04 de janeiro prÃ³ximo. Scott anunciou que vai doar o valor do leilÃ£o a EFF. [...]

Free Ferrari’s (laptop ;)) and computers from Microsoft (M$) to bloggers, Wants them back now….

But all those bloggers, don’t worry about returning them. From what I read, you do not have to return or give away until you finish reviewing Vista. You may finish reviewing it in a few months, (installed Vista is pretty hefty and review might be depe…
