When you have Ben Stein presenting, details are unnecessary.
I thought it was R. Lee Ermey.
"Today, you people are no longer maggots! Today, you are DELL CONSUMERS. You're part of a brotherhood. From now on until the day you die, wherever you are, every DELL CONSUMER is your brother. Most of you will go to Customer Support. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: our products die. That's what were here for. But DELL lives forever. And that means YOU live forever!!"
Looks like Captain Ben Maxwell of the USS Phoenix

Must be real expensive paper, then.
Ink-Free ?
Use thermal paper like almost all receipt printers now a days. Basically you get the paper hot and it turns black.
think thermal reactive paper like most modern receipt printers. it is probably something similar, not sure though as I haven't really read anything about these yet.
once it goes black it never goes back.
Was up b?
Wasabi?
Wasssaaaaahhhhhbiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!
This will flop. Polaroid's own Zink printer doesn't sell as it is. The camera they have with this built in may however.
At first glance, I could've sworn the hand in the screen was his.
This sounds a lot like what Polaroid just put into a digital camera to resurrect the "instant print" cameras. Same print size, same thermal tech, but apparently in color.
Polaroid can call back once ZINK produces "prints" that look like, well, Polaroids in both size and quality. Before that it is just disposable junk.
The printer sounds fine, but does the paper go all psychedelic on ya when you leave it in the car during a Hot summer day.
Dell printers?
Xerox is doing netbooks.
