Dell dumps Della, just wants to be friends

Looks like someone's gonna have to explain why there's a "no longer in a relationship" status update on her Facebook profile. Just ten or so days after Dell officially hooked up with its female counterpart Della, helping real womenfolk find computers that meet their recipe-finding, calorie-counting ways, she's now been thrown the wayside and all mentions of her have been replaced with (or redirected to) the similar, yet decidedly more androgynous "Lifestyle." Last we heard, Della was sitting on the couch watching Notting Hill with a pint of Ben and Jerry's, crying softly to herself and wondering what other female stereotypes she can best beat with a dead horse.

Guys...Della has her periods...she'll be back. Don't fret.

Sony is coming out with Sonya. Laptops for earthlings with too many holes. :)

ROFL There are just too many things wrong with what you said.

But in a good way. xDD

Crying out loud on with hands on my head...."Hey DELLA!.....Don't ever leave me baby!"

I have it on good authority that they simply dumped her for a much cooler "Della":

They should have called her "Della The Impaler" a whole new approach. Could have been a good
children's story too!

While I understand that they are behind a strategy that would make a more "humane" site (if you will), targeting women in such a way (whimsical gender they are) is demeaning to say the least.

It's not just me, read here http://content.dell.com/us/en/home/lifestyle-tips.aspx to hear the real reason why this was an EPIC FAIL!

Guess Dell just wasn't that into her.
