For over a year HP support and the Google Chrome forum were unable to suggest this simple solution to the fact that Shockwave failure was all over my pages and the PC acted as if someone was pouring molasses onto the circuit board. Now it runs like a Ferrari at Monte Carlo. Give that man a medal!  You have done better than the whole crowd of idiots at either huge corporation. Congratulations, Sir.

Undercover Boss shows how little they know about the customer level of their businesses, very often. But that's how savvy consumers benefit from such giveaways as the Touchpad for $99! Its disappointing when it zooms photos, though - only does it one level, so you cant really show people small details (like the smashed racquet under the chair after one angry female got mad with herself at losing the final point at the US Open I caught the other day). Video it wont even show MOV files, either - you have to translate them to MP4. Who knows if these guys are able to see anything at the helm of such large ships?

But they are slower. Angry Birds is free!

WTF, I thought they were setting a good example. Maybe they should charge a tad more for that and make money, with everyone happy. Nothing like good support on PCs that's for sure.
