No free PC for you
You might remember how last year a British company called Metronomy announced that they were going to start giving away up to two million free IBM desktop PCs to nearly anyone who wanted one. The catch? That for every hour you spent on the computer you had to watch three minutes of commercials. The first PCs were set to be doled out this month, but Metronomy has delayed the roll-out until Fall (why are we not surprised?), saying that they received too many phony applications and that they want to wait a few months to more "fully test our security procedures and technical infrastructure".
