Damn! I just bought a Crucial. Oh well...

Dear Lenovo:

I love you, you know that. That's why I have to be honest when I say this: you're losing it. You used to be the standard, the absolute pinnacle of quality and usability. All the other laptop brands looked to you as the flagship. Now that you've parted ways with IBM, I realize you feel free at last and want to stretch your wings, and I respect that.

What I want you to know about that is that I feel pushed away from the you I fell in love with. These "entry-level" laptops are certainly pretty, and the price is right. However, I saw something on the internet today that says your brand-wide reliability is below Toshiba's. Toshiba, that slut. You're better than that!

I want to believe that it's just this recently developed side of you that brought about that terrifying statistic, that deep down you know the value of the ThinkPad name and would never sully it. The IdeaPads are to blame. All that aside, the fact is that the damage is already done.

Lenovo, I'm asking you as a lover to reconsider this promiscuous lifestyle and come back to the noble, refined life we once shared so happily. My needs haven't changed, I still need that quality that I found in you. Please Lenovo, come back?

The link between Germanic raiders and angsty teens is allegory, comes from the Victorian Gothic writing style (EG Mary Shelley), and was applied to the music, not the fashion. Also, in a related note, this whole Steampunk thing sucks. I'm going to have to look at that book, though.

Screw all this furniture, where's the bitchin' Camaro? Oh, wait...

I'd like to offer my services as a mix tech for anyone who buys one of these. Fly me out to your house, pay me $500/day and cover all my expenses, and I'll be more than happy to create a full FOH and monitor mix for you to revel in yourself.

Dammit, it seems to be the trend with modern sporty/sports cars to make the LSD part of the "track pack" that also deletes a bunch of comfort features. Hey manufacturers, limited-slip isn't just for the track!

*insert chesy techno tune here*

Memphis Smoke sucks. Go to Slow's next time!

>Seriously, why would any automaker consciously choose to headquarter in Detroit?

Uh... Awesome. Our economy and unemployment rate thanks you immensely. I should've known when I saw "tool responded to your comment" in my inbox...

Royal Oak _was_ trendy. In the 90s. Now it's kinda like the guy with the skinny jeans and the receding hairline in the nightclub desperately trying to convince people he's still relevant.
