I have a hp pavilion 9500 and i must say is sucks! I too had a problem with my LCD screen and my video card. I bought it for multi-tasking and gaming and it does non of the above well. I sent my computer back in mid july and didn't get it back till mid September and they replaced my old pc with a pc that's still broken! i called the hp company many many times with promises of them calling me back and they never do!! I really wanna get rid of this POS and buy a real pc!

DO NOT BUY HP LAPTOPS/NOTEBOOKS!!!!!!

Nice idea! I'd love to see this too.

I use to love FF until 3.0 came out. I had some many problems with the browser that I finally tried to uninstall it and I couldn't do it. Due to a few other issues that came later, I finally did a complete system restore and even though I don't care for IE, I don't want to face the same problems with FF 3.0 again. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't there a lot of bug's in 3.0?

You've got to be kidding me... of course it's a scam!

i got this email too....from "Microsoft Corporations Awards" <awards@microsoft.com>
this is fraud- they will ask for a modality to send you the money, a way that you will have to pay an commision (big one), and offcourse, they'll never give you the money :))

A comment on the idea "Why not use Fire Fox" in Microsoft Corporation:

its coded badly. IE often does not conform to W3C standards and so hacks and stuff must be used to get it to run right, FF actually uses REAL W3C standards. – rantan, on July 17, 2008 18:05

A comment on the idea "Why not use Fire Fox" in Microsoft Corporation:

that's a good question...its often the other way around, IE is supported and not firefox.. i dont know of any apps that are that way.. – rantan, on July 17, 2008 18:05

A comment on the idea "Why not use Fire Fox" in Microsoft Corporation:

the latest version of firefox, version 3, fixed a lot of that memory hog problem. – rantan, on July 17, 2008 18:04

chr4004 replied on July 17, 2008 09:06 to the idea "groups/channels" in Twitter:

I thought about this, too. Imagine a conference which has its own Twitter group. You join the group for the time the conference is held. You automatically follow everybody in this group and opt-in to let everybody else follow you. When the conference is over you un-follow the group and un-follow everybody else in this group except people you followed explicitly like your friends (who may have joined also this conference).
Twitter could even monetize this. Let's say you pay above a certain amount of people a group can contain.

A comment on the problem "Power jack" in HP:

here's the thing, its too late to apply for the settlement, so in any case your notebook won't be covered, however if you'd like more information or wish to contact someone, that's the website. – rantan, on July 16, 2008 23:00

Do you know the model of the laptop? It might be covered in that class-action call. Thanks, rantan.

HP has repaired my computer at no cost. HP representative was very helpful in geting the computer repaired.

As I stated above, the computer was not under warranty, however HP rep understood that the damage was not due to user abuse.
