IBM selling x86 server business to Lenovo?
There are rumors swirling around, again, that IBM is looking to sell off all or a portion of its x86 server business to Chinese PC maker and server partner Lenovo Group. US channel mag CRN caught wind of something going down between IBM and Lenovo on Thursday and referenced an anonymous source with knowledge of the talks now …
Storm clouds
IBM selling the PC client biz was a dire portent of what awaited PC sellers on the Vista launch. If this rumor proves true does it foreshadow an equivalent collapse of x86 server profitability? That would leave HP and Dell exactly where?
Re: Storm clouds
It has already happened. There is next to no profit in x86 servers. Aside from Cisco, who has an obvious advantage with their switches, no one is doing well. It doesn't surprise me that x86 profits are close to nothing, but it does surprise me that all of these companies are struggling at the same time. Dell, HP, IBM, Oracle/Sun... where are people buying their servers? Cisco has picked up a decent amount of market share, but it still seems like a small portion of the overall market. Clearly they have not all decided to go buy Unix servers instead. The global recessions seems to either be shutting down IT projects, or people are hanging on to their servers until they break, or the increased processing power of the new servers has caused all of the businesses to price themselves out of the market by not increasing price in line with processing improvement, or some combination of the above.
Re: Storm clouds
This is like comparing chalk to cheese..
IBM's problem is a simple one - their x86 and storage lineup are too complicated, try finding any information about their servers, build options etc, its next to impossible. They have effectively commited x86 suicide by failing to communicate with new and existing customers. As somebody else pointed out in another thread, this is probably intentional as they prefer the "service provider" rather than "vendor" model.
The real problem is, why don't they just come out and say their intentions. It would be better for customers, it would be better for Share holders, in the end it would also be better for the company.
Re: Storm clouds
Although the x86 market isn't an overly profitable one at the moment, there are other benefits for the likes of Dell and HP in remaining in it, less for for IBM which has already ditched personal systems. The buying power and economies of scale help prop up other platforms, like personal systems and storage. Many of the storage solutions on the marketplace are increasingly based on x86 server platforms, and maintaining control of design and manufacture of that is useful. Also, there is a lot to be said for the market presence and penetration that servers get you. I'd wager that HP and Dell sell a hell of a lot of other 'stuff' on the back of commodity server sales. I'm not being critical of IBM's strategy as I think it is also a valid one - the less valid approach is a half way approach where all benefits from either strategy are diluted so for IBM to increasingly get out of commodity markets is another move in the right direction.
Re: Storm clouds
The arse has fallen out of the physical server market due to Virtualization.
It doesn't make financial sense to spunk money on physical hardware. I'd wager IBM's storage business is reaping some of the rewards of this.
Re: Storm clouds
Rewards how? It would mean they have to buy in the hardware components for their XIV, V7000 and probably some other storage platforms, or develop proprietary platforms for them which increases cost and slows down development. And also a hell of a lot of commodity servers still get bought, and it's a lot easier to attach storage to a server sale than it is to compete with someone who is!
Re: Storm clouds
IBM is a deeply conservative 102 year old company. They have survived many technology transitions including the end of the typewriter. They look far ahead. They did a flub on the PC software thing, contracting their direct OS competitor to help them build their next-gen OS (OS/2 2.0) and it almost killed them, but they survived that too and won't make that mistake again. I have no idea what was going through that guy's head when he signed that deal. They turned into total jerks for a while, trying to take control of the language with that "planar board" and "fixed disk" nonsense. I think we're past that now. The attempt to jiujitsu yourself to dominance by taking control of the symbolset and thereby inspiring mass hatred should, though, be remembered as an object lesson. We never did find out who was responsible for that incredibly stupid idea. I'm fine with waiting until his estate publishes his memoirs; the pace of the PC being what it is the poor sap has probably still got mouths to feed.
They wisely got out of the client PC market as it was turning even more unprofitable than it had been for them that far on the eve of the Vista launch.
Now their market cap is more than Intel, AMD and the top-5 PC OEMs put together. They're dancing with passing Microsoft. I haven't been a big fan of their products since the early '80's but I have a deep abiding respect for their ability to run a business. They don't bob and weave with the fads, but they get 'er done.
I wouldn't want to work there though no matter how well it paid. Their whole motion makes me think their corporate structure could use more fiber.
Dave Cutler is one of the critical people in the evolution of software technology, currently a fellow at Microsoft. While doing background for this comment I discovered that the OS/2 wikipedia article has more interesting information on him than his personal and other related pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2
Basically he convinced Digital to not invent the PC, then skipped to Microsoft where he scuttled their IBM deal with huge delays, deriving NT from what he had learned at Digital and denying it to IBM who had contracted for OS development parallel with Microsoft's other efforts. Crucial moments in the evolution of modern tech. This was the dirty trick that finally broke the MS / IBM relationship, and vaulted Windows NT to the fore.
/What? You don't do background research for blog comments too?
Re: Storm clouds
Astute observation....IBM leads in moves like this...others follow...eventually ...or fade away
Re: BTW
Mashing up Wikipedia articles with urban myths and reportage from partisan web sites is not background research.
Re: Storm clouds
Why should it be a surprise that ALL x86 server vendors are struggling when the only difference between them is the colour of the paint?
Re: Storm clouds
I wouldn't want to work [at IBM] though no matter how well it paid.
I worked for IBM a couple decades back thataway, and it was a lark.
Of course, I was working with a small group - first part of ACIS (academic computing) and then TCS (technical computing services, basically internal consulting) - in the same building as the Cambridge [Massachusetts] Scientific Center, where the culture was decidedly more relaxed than in, say, Kingston or Poughkeepsie. It was years before I even saw a copy of the IBM songbook, and no one ever asked me to sing anything from it.[1]
Greybeards, and their female equivalents, ruled the CSC, and they didn't like rules that got in the way of their experiments. (Lynn Wheeler is moderately famous in some Usenet haunts for reminiscences of his work, and wife Anne's, at the CSC and similar IBM clubhouses.) Besuited managers and mid-level execs would stop by once in a while and suggest we should square our shoulders and march in step,[2] but it never lasted after their visits.
My point is that IBM is a big organization, and not homogenous. Observing it from the outside may not give you an entirely accurate or detailed picture of what's on the inside.
[1] Of course there's an IBM songbook.
[2] One time some division VP or some such dropped by. At the time my officemate and I were working on software for a prototype graphics card. Our machines were named for artists, and our manager had purchased a couple of prints by the eponymous artists for us to hang in the office - a Rossetti and Matisse's Blue Nude for me, which of course was referred to as the "Big Blue Nude". The VP was horrified that a depiction of bare breasts, however acclaimed by art critics, adorned our office wall, and made us put Post-It notes over the BBN's naughty bits.
Re: Mikel Re: Storm clouds
Dell and hp have profitable PC and x86 server lines. IBM sold an unprofitable PC bizz to Lenovo, which Lenovo made profitable. What does that say about IBM management then and now?
Re: Mikel Storm clouds
HP Profitable? Last I checked HP did not have a P/E ratio because you actually need a profit. I looked it up -$6.55 per share. HP is a fool.
Re: IBM is a big organization
No, Apple is a mere company while IBM is a country
Re: Storm clouds
Well, IBM is now selling it's x86 server division because of bad margins. Earlier IBM sold the x86 PC business, for the same reason. The POWER division sees the same problem, margins is getting lower and lower. There will be a time when IBM has to sell POWER too, and only keep the high margin Mainframe business. Alas, IBM has been transforming to a service company for a long time now. IBM is exiting hardware, and selling hardware divisions. Not much left soon. The trajectory is going down. But of course, IBM profits as a service company, not as a vendor.
Re: Allison Park Re: Mikel Storm clouds
"HP Profitable?...." Nice dodge of the fact the PC part is. I also note you do not deny that Lenovo took a loss-making IBM PC business and made a success of it.
Re: BTW
>Basically he convinced Digital to not invent the PC
I think you meant he helped to convince Ken Olsen not repackage the MicroVax as a desktop workstation in the PC marketplace and price bracket.
Funny how in the mid 80's DEC were in the position to: launch a VMS-based workstation (with an extensive third-party applications catalogue) and release VMS to X/Open (now The Open Group) to become the standard for POSIX, and the rest as they say would of been history... Instead they left the PC to Microsoft and IBM and X/Open basically adopted Unix to become the basis for POSIX.
Re: Allison Park Mikel Storm clouds
not really a dodge.... just a bigger picture view.
Lenovo has done very well. I never viewed IBM as a consumer company. From looking at their acquisitions and divestitures it sure looks like they want to get out of commodity (hard drives, point of sale) and retain high value. I would not view this as a hardware general issue and I think they make higher margins on hw than services but sw eclipses all.
should be interesting either way i think customers are happy with ibm and lenovo can't say the same for my friends watching the HP ship burn
Re: Allison Park Re: Allison Park Mikel Storm clouds
"....and retain high value....." That's a very convenient way to describe IBM's retreat into the high-end, having been soundly thrashed by Dell and hp yet again. But you forgot to mention that IBM's high-end, especially the mainframe biz, is also trending down - where do they retreat to when mainframe becomes too unprofitable?
What IBM are doing is cost-cutting and share boosting by sale. It's a neat little scam - take a failing business unit, sell it to Lenovo (whom IBM own a chunk of, so IBM end up paying themselves) and add some billions to the year's figures (looks good on Wall Street), and then use that to buy back some shares and boost the overall share price, keeping the thicker shareholders happy. Sooner or later the IBM board will run out of family silver to sell, and that is when the shareholders will wake up and realise they have been scammed.
I seem to recall that there have been some sort of warnings recently about buying laptops from Lenovo (and/or other China-owned companies) and have to think that there would be similar warnings about servers from China-owned sources.
So I would think that if IBM sells their x86 server business to Lenovo, then the value would fall and possibly fall precipitously, as at least some companies would be wary of buying servers from a China-owned company, I should think.
Not happy about that, but I guess it was inevitable.
Lenovo has been selling a "ThinkServer" line for quite a while, which are basically clones of the very low end System x towers and rack systems. I think it was branded as some kind of cross licensing deal, but I guess we know what was really going on.
Hopefully Lenovo will keep the design and engineering teams in North Carolina -- they're still working on most of the business-grade hardware designs for the PC business, and the System x/BladeCenter guys are there too, so it's a good fit.
I guess the only good thing is that even with the recent cheapening of the designs, the ThinkPads and ThinkCentres do retain a good chunk of the original IBM design...they're still my favorite laptop vendor. So hopefully, if Lenovo is smart, they won't mess around with quality too much. IBM's System x gear is (was?) top quality, easily as good as or better than the HP ProLiant. And at the high end of the range, their hardware designs are really interesting. The downside is that it's very expensive compared to Dell, slightly more than HP. For that price difference though, you get US-based tech support who really understands their stuff. I've never had a problem with IBM System x and BladeCenter support (It's a dedicated group sitting in Atlanta if you're in the US,) but have wanted to reach through the phone and strangle HP and Dell "support" representatives.
The fact that IBM is keeping FlexSystem, System z and System p in house seems to me like they're betting that everything will collapse into the cloud, either public or private, and no one will need physical x86 boxes anymore. FlexSystem is basically BladeCenter 2.0 + Cloud-in-a-box, and competes with the VCE stuff. It looks neat, but just like the VCE stuff, I can't afford it to play around with in the lab. However, I wonder what's going to happen with OpenStack gaining popularity now -- people won't be locked into VMWare or IBM and they'll actually want cheap x86 boxes that they can turn into a loose collection of VM containers. Plus, you have places like the one I work in, with highly distributed branches and crappy network connectivity all over the universe that can't do the consolidation thing cost-effectively who will be buying physical boxes for some time to come.
This is kind of a bummer to me though -- I live in New York, and IBM still has a fairly big presence here, since their HQ and main research lab are in Westchester and Dutchess counties respectively. Just like the rest of the US though, that presence keeps dropping with every physical product line they sell off. I don't wish ill on other countries, but part of me is hoping for a Chinese economic collapse just so MBA management consultants will stop telling executives that you can't manufacture physical products, for any price. Lack of physical products or selling that off to the lowest bidder means no long-term hardware innovation, and we're going to end up stuck in a rut forever. (I was a rust belt kid and watched all the manufacturing move to the South, then overseas. Not fun.)
Re: Not happy about that, but I guess it was inevitable.
Lenovo semi-recently announced that they are expanding their server HW presence in NC, including bringing some manufacturing over from China. Coincidence?
Re: Lin78 Re: Not happy about that, but I guess it was inevitable.
"Lenovo semi-recently announced that they are expanding their server HW presence in NC, including bringing some manufacturing over from China. Coincidence?" I suspect it will be enough local assembly for them to slap a "made in America" sticker on the product (and qualify for local grants and tax relief).
With the anti-chinese paranoia running through USG at the moment (whether justified or not), can't see certain lobby groups being too happy at this.
Given the nosedive in Quality between IBM ThinkPads of old, and the newer Lenovo machines, I would not consider a Lenovo server for any enterprise application.
Re: Quality?
Their T-series are still OK -- I don't agree with the latest design changes in the keyboard and trackpad, but HP's business laptops are fugly now. Not that the ThinkPad was ever sexy, but it's still a great Spartan business tool.
Hopefully Lenovo will stop pinching pennies on the T-series design, or pull an Apple and go back to high-end high-margin IBM-style design. These days, with PCs lasting way longer than even the 2000s, you have to build some obsolescence into your products or no one will buy new ones. But, if you charge $2500 for a laptop, and the user is happy for 5 or 6 years, you win anyway. I'm not a huge Apple fan, but I do have a 2008 MacBook Pro as well that has been through almost the same torture as my T-series ThinkPads. If you pay for it, you get quality. If you pay $299 for a laptop from Best Buy, don't be shocked when it dies randomly.
Re: Quality?
Not that the ThinkPad was ever sexy, but it's still a great Spartan business tool.
Agreed! I use mine to keep track of my Helots and organize my phalanx.
Re: Quality?
I like to keep track of my Harlots :)
Re: Quality?
I'm on my 3rd T series because the fans keep failing, seems to be a well known defect judging from the Lenovo forums.
Yet my old Thinkpad 380Z just soldiers on as an old game station.
not surprised
I think every major vendor will adopt the Oracle model. Dump "commodity" give all profit to Intel and move into premium high value systems which give less importance to intel / power / sparc
lenovo seems like the right choice but you never know about samsung, fujitsu or hitachi
Re: not surprised
Perhaps we are assuming x86 has a future anyway, I'm not sure it does. Intel has managed to fab ist way up market for years, with a pretty poor architecture, but pretty soon they will see the limits of physics. On the other hand ARMs will be coming from Calxeda, via Dell, HP et al, and they will compete well versus x86 for web servuces. So IBM becoming an ARM licensee, flogging off the x86 business for $5B might well be a very clever move.
Re: not surprised
"I think every major vendor will adopt the Oracle model. Dump "commodity" give all profit to Intel and move into premium high value systems which give less importance to intel / power / sparc"
Agree that no company wants to be in the business of pushing 2U x86 servers with no value add. All of that business will eventually go to the Lenovos, Acers, etc of the world who will make them very inexpensively, if not particularly well. I think IBM and, to a lesser extent, Oracle still want to be in the CPU business, but they want to be in their own CPU business instead of just putting a case around Wintel. CPU will not be the central part of their value proposition, software will be, but they will be another level of differentiation. System I/O and board design is generally more important than having a CPU that is way better than Intel. Most people run out of memory and I/O long before they tap out CPU.
Re: not surprised
"Perhaps we are assuming x86 has a future anyway, I'm not sure it does"
Agree on x86 vs ARM, but I don't think that does much for IBM and the other OEMs. Instead of commoditized x86 servers, the market will just shift to commoditized ARM servers... and the same problem exists for the OEMs. Everyone is using the same chips, software, etc without much differentiation.
Re: not surprised
If you have dealt with Oracle support you would really not want to go there!
As for the non-x86 market, I can see ARM going places because it is better for power/performance than x86 (for a given fab technology, but Intel currently has a ~18month advantage there) and it is not vendor-specific. Most folk I know don't want to be in a position where they have to keep buying high priced hardware from one vendor.
If IBM, etc, want to play that game exclusively then the system has to be *VERY* much better than x86/ARM + Linux/Windows commodity solutions.
okay stop laughing, IBM has to.
not all x86
its just the low end stuff, think 3650 and below plus towers, all the 2 socket boxes. quad, blades, P, Pure, and Z all stay in house. No way the US Feds would allow P/Z biz to go to the chicoms. keep in mind, IBM owns like 60% of Lenovo.
Oh great
More layoffs in the offing. IIRC, revenues in x86 servers are still rising but the margins are such that a company the scale of IBM cannot seem to reduce their overheads enough. Lenovo turned the ailing PC Division into a profitable business and the only way they're going to be able to do this with wintel servers is by taking the same approach: 1) Turn them into true commodities like toasters and 2) lay off those expensive European and American workers and replace them with any number of dirt-cheap Chinese.
Increase server market share
So Lenovo would take on and keep the IBM patent research, design and engineering teams in Raleigh NC like they did for the Thinkpad/PC range in 2004. I read recently that Lenovo have an 11% increased market share, while the rest including Dell, Tosh and HP have all fallen.
If it happened, and if IBM and Lenovo get the right message out there, loyal IBM System x customers are likely to transition over to the same System x boxes/ roadmap / but with a Lenovo badge. Lenovo would I assume, also take on selling all the IBM system x options and spares. With lower manufacturing costs and pricing, we could then see the Lenovo owned system-x range start to take market share from HP & Dell like they have achieved in the desktop/laptop marketplace.
Not forgetting that the high-end IBM eX5 system x intel server architecture range is not a commodity product and has unmatched memory expansion when compared to HP and Dell rival products.

Originally launched in 2001, the CVS ExtraCare card program has attracted more than 50 million cardholders and continues to grow. The ExtraCare program was created to reward loyal customers with discounts and informational mailings relevant to their needs. It also helps CVS respond to what its customers really want, based on information collected from card sales.
CVS stands alone in its commitment to being the easiest pharmacy for customers to use, always making patron needs the top priority. Washington Post health writer, Francesca Lunzer Kritz, urges consumers to "Get bucks back from your pharmacy," and cites CVS's ExtraCare program as a model for how loyalty programs should reward their customers.*
Q. How do consumers know their personal information won't be given to other companies?
A. Data collected from card sales is used strictly to help us better understand and serve our customers. Information about CVS customers is never released to any outside company. CVS is so thoroughly committed to honoring ExtraCare cardholders' privacy that the subscription form offers a place for customers to Opt-In for mailings.
Q. But that doesn't guarantee privacy.
A. For anyone wishing to join as an anonymous cardholder, she can apply for the ExtraCare program without filling a name or address. All the same card benefits apply, but she won't receive any mailings.
Q. How does CVS benefit from such a program?
A. The ExtraCare program operates as an extra layer to our mass marketing efforts. It allows us to target customers in direct mailings according to what they really buy and need regularly. Card sales provide us with another body of information that helps us provide better services and products, customize our promotional plans, and generally be a better pharmacy retailer for our customers.

Katy Perry has swapped her signature raven locks for a fiery new hairdo.
The Firework singer unveiled a new redhead look as she launched her Purr fragrance in Toronto, Canada.
Before the event she tweeted: "On my way to launch PURR in TORONTO! FINALLY CA has PURR avail to them! P.s. If u see a ginger haired girl that looks like me, it's me!"
Katy, who is gradually returning to her natural fair hair colour, told fans on Twitter two weeks ago that she had gone for a new style.
She revealed: "So I didn't get to the exact colour I wanted from being black for so long! 2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS."
The star, who is married to British funnyman Russell Brand, appeared to be pleased with her makeover at the perfume launch, sporting a pair of lacy cat ears to finish off her look.

The mechanism on aggregation of spindle granular particles of calcite was investigated for the carbonation of calcium hydroxide in aqueous suspension for the purpose of controlling morphology of CaCO3 . The experimental carbonation process was carried out in a semi-batch bubble column reactor under different conditions. Although, fine rhombic nano-particles diameter ranged from 100 to 200 nm were obtained at 291 K, a higher temperature of 300 K provided spindle granular particles with a length of 1.0–1.5 μm and a width of 0.3–0.5 μm. The average crystallite size was 28 nm for the fine rhombic nano-particles and 43 nm for the spindle granules. Zeta potential measurement for the spindle granules indicated that the suspension tended to be aggregated during the carbonation process. The effect of the degree of particle aggregation on the shape of the obtained calcite particles was studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Our simulation results elucidated the dependence of aggregation on unit particles, i.e., primary particles, on the experiment carbonation condition where the spindle granules were formed out of the unit particles under the same condition as the experiments. In addition, the formation mechanism of the granules was investigated by applying classical nucleation theory to the present simulations.

- Episode Summary :
- It's time for another episode and this time we are on shpilkes, will the chowder turn out right?
- Show Notes:
- Today we are going to make fish bulbe. Bulbe actually means potatoes. Fish Bulbe is fish and potatoes and fish and potatoes is known to us as fish chowder.
- Good now that we got you really confused lets begin.
- Years ago Bubbe lived in a street with a lot of houses. Once a week a man with a station wagon would show up. The back of the wagon had a scale and fish. All the neighbors would come on down to buy all kinds of fish.
- If you want to make this dish take a glance at the recipe.
- Today's yiddish word of the day is shpilkes meaning in a rush. But if you want the exact definition it is pins and needles. Hard to describe but worth watching it.
- Of course at the end everything turns out as it should as the credits roll and the jazz music kicks up a beat.
- We are still looking for your comments and requests email@example.com

A Pratt man has been charged in the death of an infant girl.
Joseph Sponaugle made his first appearance in a Pratt County courtroom Wednesday.
Sponaugle was arrested on Tuesday for first-degree murder, child abuse. He was also charged with child endangerment of another child.
Robert Sponaugle, Joseph's father, said his granddaughter, Aurora, died as the result of an accident.
"Joey had changed the baby's diaper and got a bottle and was taking her to put her in the crib and he tripped on the furniture and the baby hit the floor, head first," Robert said.
Sponaugle's bond has been set at $1 million cash or surety. His next date in court has not yet been set.

West Germany, 1977 (MIFF 1978)
Director: Sohrab Shahid Saless
This is the latest film from Iranian director Sohrab Shahid Saless, who is now based in Berlin. The protagonist of this film is supposedly the boy from Coming of Age (seen in last year's Festival), many years later. Diary of a Lover studies the isolation of an individual within society, a man slowly going mad and living within certain routines.
He works in the meat department of a large store, and is preparing for his annual holiday. His girlfriend, of whom he talks lovingly, has vanished in mysterious circumstances, and his mother, who regularly visits him, has nothing to say to him. He takes out a girl to dinner, but she, too, has little to say.
We watch his solitary life, as he paints the kitchen, or does all his shopping at once so as not to spoil his holiday. Then, gradually, we come to understand the key to his distraught behaviour...

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has outsourced its derivatives collateral management activities to ABN Amro. In addition, ABN Amro Mellon Global Securities Services will act as global custodian for all ADB's collateral securities.The Dutch bank will act as collateral agent to ADB and take on responsibility for marking derivatives collateral to market while also handling margin calls and settlement. To maintain confidentiality with counterparties, ADB will continue to value its own derivatives transactions.
"Collateral management is important for managing the counterparty risk in the bank's derivatives portfolio," said Juan Limandibrata, assistant treasurer and head of funding at ADB. "The decision to outsource is based on an analysis of the incremental resources required internally versus the cost and flexibility of outsourcing," he added. "ABN Amro has enabled ADB to implement an effective collateral programme."

Cadbury Creme Eggs...? [moved from What's My Craving]
- f
- fitziedawl Oct 19, 2007 09:46 AM
Is there anywhere to get/order cadbury creme eggs between now and easter? I've been charged with procuring some, and while I am aware it may be an impossible task I still thought it was worth a shot. Anybody?
I almost hate to suggest this, but have you checked at local dollar stores? They may be a bit old, but they are well wrapped, so that is in your favor. It might be worth a shot. Other than that I would contact Hersheys and ask them.
Cost Plus carries a lot of Cadbury. They are made year round, but not sure if you can get them year round in USA. Maybe the website will help...
re: funniegrrl
Go big or go home....
Good Luck! I like the suggestion of EBAY - hopefully, they will still have the plastic wrapper... when my sister and I were young, we wrote to Cadbury/Hershey and asked them to PLEASE make creme-filled things all year long. Pumpkins on Halloween, trees on Christmas, etc. They said no. The thought of it now makes my teeth hurt.
It's probably too late for fitziedawl, but for all you creme egg fans, I saw them at Walgreens yesterday. They had a sign that said not just for Easter anymore (or something like that).
HA! i was just at Walgreens today and i sw the "Christmas Cadbury Egg" display!
funny coincidence b/c i was thinking to myself - WOW! now we are rushing easter season too!
so hit up Walgreens and you should be all set!

What To Do Lyrics - Hollies
What to do now that she doesn't want me?
That's what haunts me
What to do?
What to do to keep from feeling lonely?
Want her only.
What to do?
The record hops and all the happy times we had.
The soda shop, the walks to school now make me sad.
Oh, what to do? I know my heart is showing,
still not knowing
what to do.
What to do?
What to do? (to do, what to do, what to do) x8

Dizzy: the Ultimate Cartoon Adventure
titular things
@AC: This is precisely the reason I've not said a word about it until now.
Anyway, I'm going to shut up now and contemplate things. This could actually be bad.....
titular thingy
I've been thinking about getting in touch with WoS, but have been hesitant until now in order to protect my source. Now that they've left the industry I can be a bit more open about it. I'm thinking it may be worthwile contacting the Oliver Twins too, I've heard they're quite friendly :)
FWIW I wasn't really expecting ElReg to answer, It's just that I know they like to do these sorts of things in the pub. Any opportunity to try and blag a pint, basically :D
titular thingy
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned DizzyAGE, an engine with remakes of all the classic Dizzy games and a few fangames as well.
titular update
"How did you get hold of that??"
A contact rescued it before it went in the skip. The portakabins at the farm (literally a farm in Southam) were being cleared out for the next lot of coders and test monkeys.
At one point, I also had the source code to the Amiga version of Universe (by Core Design). Like an idiot, I needed some hd space so deleted it without backing it up. facepalm.jpg
50Mb was a _lot_ of hd space in those days, and on my budget that many floppies was out of the question.
titular memories
"The original was coded on a CPC 6128 in the MAXAM assembler and then ported to the Spectrum using a special cable the Olivers had built for them. True cross platform development and all in their bedroom!"
Interesting that you mention that.
It is more than just a cable, it is a Z80 PIO hooked up to the bus on the speccy side, and the printer port on the amstrad side. I say is, because contrary to popular opinion, it is not lost. It is still sitting in a box in my private collection, where it has been for a long time. If I can find the driver software, I will have to dump it and create a schematic of the hardware.
On a related note, I must find my collection of master and sample tapes and dump them too.
If anyone wants me to, I can take some photos for verification purposes. It will take a few days though, need to get at the box in question. Hell, if ElReg wants to take a look and have a fondle of this one-off piece of hardware, get in touch.

titular wankery
"shut the fuck up, you ugly cunt" - I always thought that was our local greeting here in Cov :D
That's nothing compared to what I did in our local WH Smith's back in the day. They had a seperate store for home computers and there were several display models in the window. Picture walking past a shop window, and seeing 20 or so screens saying "Fuck off, Wankers!!!".
Kids will be kids, and idiots will still allow full access to display models.
Oh, and news must be slow if El Reg is culling stories from the Coventry Telegraph :)
titular thingy
@casinowilhelm: "So far I just got the "trip over pavement cracks and sue the council""
hehe, I'm from the town in question and when I was 8 yrs old (32 yrs ago to be precise) , I stumbled on a loose paving slab. Lost my front teeth becasue of it. My parents never dreamed of suing the council. A strongly worded letter later (no legal threats or anything), and the slab was fixed along with many others.

'You're a f**king moron'
Our illuminating piece yesterday by new boy Jefferson Alberry II, regarding al-Qaeda's stance on the iPhone, provoked a seriously adverse reaction in one "Mr Jenkins". His resulting message may be short, but it sure ain't sweet: You're a fucking moron. Crawl back under the rock you live under - you cunt. Good Lord. Mr …
Not a yank, surely .. ?
Now, a bit of low-brow analysis here would lead me to suspect that this person is in fact an Englishman abroad. It's not often that the transatlantic types would off up the rather short "you cunt" in such a decidedly British manner.
Although, perhaps said suspected-Yank is a die-hard Guy Ritchie fan - but, realistically, what are the odds of that ?
That said, Jason Statham appears to have upped-sticks and moved over - perhaps he was just visiting some IT corp as research for his next flick ("They picked the wrong guy to downsize and outsource this time - and he's going to take 'terminal' literally" etc..) and saw an open console ?
"Crawl back under the rock you live under" does seem a bit wordy. Though if I'd been having a crack at Kelly Brook for a few years, I wouldn't particularly care about my grammar either...
Go get 'em
I love the idea of hunting down one of these people who hide behind their computer screen and screech profanities at people more intelligent than them.
If it turns out to be a company we do business with I would be happy to ask my own questions of their IT Leadership as to why their Staff conduct themselves in such a manner.
US computer company...
hmm, I wonder which one?
A US computer company with some interest in popular personal music players perhaps?
Best of luck with the investigation, please keep us informed.
The expression
Hoist by your own petard.
Springs to mind. ;)
I hope he's learn his lesson...
Ooooh Lester..very sneaky
Tee hee. That'll learn him, as they say.
/awaits with baited breath.
Mr Rufus is back!!
Long live the spirit of Rufus!
Right wing nutjob?
Surely this must be a Bush lovin' - Al Qaeda fearin - Jeebus lovin republican venting his anger anonymously from his nice, safe concrete bunker.
Actually, I take that back....it was too well spelled.
now this is more like it
a proper friday story
i hope he gets the bollocking he deserves
maybe he'll be seeing the dole office next tuesday?
Surely Mr Jobs et al does'nt want OBL to own the iPhone?
Well I would think at the price tag for the iPhone, there won't be many bombs detonated with one. And I am sure no self respecting Al-Qaeda would want to get tied in an 18 month contract with AT&T either.
Mr J.. get a sense of humour.
I do so hope that the
US computer corporation referred to is the one I suspect it is.
In other words, is this an iFlame?
You utter bastards!
...I knew there was a reason I like you.
Absolute genius! The funniest story in a long time.
How dare you.. how very dare you..
I was going to post something funny and original, but then realised you might contact my boss
You forgot to capitalise and embolden the E for blimey!
Second correction in 5 mins, are you lot pissed today?
Black Helicopters sent to investigate
So now it seems El Reg are using the Black Helicopters for the benefit of us all. Excellent to see them being used for good rather than evil.
I look forward to seeing what the Helicopters report back to Vulture Central...
BLIMEY run by the BOFH ?
Nice to see the BOFH's way of life is deeply ingrained in El Reg. You really are a set of b@stards :-)
Go on, tell us who he works for....
Can't wait to find out who he works for. Could it be a fruity US computer company? :D
Lester, did you swap places with Mr Travaglia by any chance?
You are not playing fair lester, you should warn the unsuspecting populace when you leave the BOFH handle the mailbag. Not fair. Definitely not fair.
Find who the yank is and demand his extradition ala Gary McKinnon
Luv it!
I suspect that we will not hear who the company is, let alone the culprit (or should that be culPRAT), but I just love the way you work - in the style of BOFH.
Spoofing an email addy is one thing but to do so to someone like El Reg is something else and who would have imagined being able to capture someone's IP addy on a form, let alone record it...... tee hee hee!
I've seen far worse comments here at El Reg before and will do so again... So is the outrage because it was an American IP address?
And frankly I would like to argue that the original author was a fucking a moron. Even my 12 year old nephew said 'This would have been funnier if Al-Qaeda had reviewed the Iphone' - you know too expensive to detonate a bomb. Too light to whip suspected prostitutes and music retailers..." could have been a gold mine from Bin-Laden himself.
And personally I found this comment to be most offensive of the lot.
And this one's still there!
Nasty Precedent
Come on, El Reg... ignore the comment. Clearly, this was just some inane mindless comment from yet another disgruntled-with-life interweb luser.
Chasing up his company/boss isn't a good precedent to set when you receive comments that you find offensive. Add some community moderation (up/down vote) functionality to the comments (a la reddit.com) and you'll see this kind of rubbish weeded out with a minimum of fuss.
Spoofing the email address
How exactly did he "spoof" the email address? You have to register to post, correct?
And to register, you have to supply an email address to which a unique URL is sent to confirm registration... How is this person registered unless they have access to the provided email address?
Surely, you're not just saying that the post was sent from a different IP address to the email addy's domain's IP... please tell me that's NOT what you're saying.

" Second correction in 5 mins, are you lot pissed today? "
Well duh! What part of "It's Friday" don't you get?
All fine and dandy, but...
How is this supposed to encourage your readers to feel comfortable in providing honest feedback? I know I'm going to be much less likely to post stuff on The Register for fear that they'll publicize who I am to the world.
Damn, too late... Can I even trust the "Post anonymously" checkbox at the bottom of this form?
Hunt the B@stard down!!!
Hey you all know that sometimes you just have to go out there and make a point of hunting twats down and making them suffer for their mistakes, sure that is why we all got into IT isn't it??
-Been reading BOFH since the beginning and it has warped my views on (L)users-
hey Bob!
"Hey Bob, some wanker from the back side of the planet called to complain about your potty mouth. Wha'd you say to those morons, anyway?"
"Huh? I can't even remember. That was like two days ago, and I've been coding for like 20 hours straight. Well f**k 'em. God I need some coffee."
Re: BLIMEY and the C word?
Splendid stuff. But I thought your black ops team was called the Global Operation for Network and Data Sniffing?
Also, lansalot... Have you never seen an episode of the Sopranos? Plenty of adequately delivered C word action there.
short, sharp and to the point. You should find out who he is to publicly commend him
Mixed feelings
While the wanker in question may well be entitled to use an @ac.uk address (because he's an alumnus, perhaps, or a professor on loan to $US_COMPUTER_CORP), I still like the concept of asking his iBoss WTF he thinks he's playing at.
After all, if *I* post a flame, I'm not pretending to represent Google while posting from $DAY_JOB, but if an employee of the company which sells a reviewed product appears to be pretending to be somewhere else, that's what we call "astroturf," and a fake grassroots critic is a reprehensible c*nt. Even if he does work for the Pirates of Silicon Valley.
Can't be fruity - they're not a computer company any more
Don't you remember? They dropped the "computer" part of their name.
This and that
I've got real email addresses for several el Reg columnists. We've traded friendly emails. BTW, Lester, I still need to post those pix from the USGP, including the hat.
Cunt British? Bloody hell it is!
Now twat. I think that has a different meaning in the UK than it does in the US. And I know fanny does.
He read the rather obvious spoof and wrote that? I wonder if it hurt much when he had his sense of humor surgically removed...
Re: Spoofing the email address
> How exactly did he "spoof" the email address? You have to register to post, correct?
Presumably, it was via the feedback-to-author form, NOT the comments section.
Re: All fine and dandy, but...
This also, incidently, makes it a bit more personal than a comment posted here, and anyway there are ways to disagree in a comment without becoming a FoTW !
Re: Not a yank, surely .. ?
But what if he is just doing some linguistic camouflaging there, with the spelling, grammar and vocabulary decoys? :-)
Talking of brainless...
One guy wrote me a thousand word rant full of much personal (and poorly spelled) "your mother..." type abuse via one of my sites, but clearly thought it OK to use his work connection and email address. A quick search for the email addy showed up a couple of dozen CVs posted to job sites, and being Indian he had helpfully included family details like who his father was and the family residential address. Indian culture being what it is, I printed and mailed the email to his father ( a senior and prominent ex-civil servant), asking what he thought of his son's poor spelling and grammar. I could almost hear the yelling 4,000 miles away, and thoroughly enjoyed the grovelling apology, heavily laced with "ji", that arrived a week later.
Maybe this person thinks Dogbert is real...
...and the phrase "on the Internet no-one knows you're a dog" to be factually true?

US Twat?
@Dillon Pyron: What does "twat" mean in the US that it doesn't mean in the UK? Just out of interest?

125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
49cc, 2.6bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 2
Yamaha's funky race replica two-stroke scooter is nippy, agile and lots of fun, although the single seat limits pillion options. It's one of the best looking scooters around and can be seen tearing up city streets as well as being paddock transport for Yamaha-sponsored MotoGP/WSB and BSB stars. Upside forks and disc brakes means the little Aerox R can be ...
125cc, 15bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
A fun, tough little bike that, in looks alone, can certainly hold its own next to the Aprilias and Cagivas of the 125cc world. Performance is pretty good: that Suzuki engine's smooth and grunty and the handling's great but it's painfully uncomfortable and really quite basic. A good laugh for a first bike, though.
