SME range breaks wind

DELL TODAY HELD a UK press conference to make a world-wide announcement, all to be mirrored in the USA later with Michael Dell himself.

This was all due to be embargoed and NDA'd up to the hilt until 17:10 GMT - only the Dell folk went and broke it themselves.

All was to hush hush around the firm's brand spanking new Vostro range of SME computers and services. But one key pin in Mikey's search for recovery.

But the firm went and released all these details on its website, leaving some hard-working journos scratching their heads as to why they signed anything at all or should ever again.

Confusion was rife inside Dell as to why this happened, more confusion was rife as to whether those signed NDAs were in still in place or not - we think not.

You can sneak a preview of the still-secret new range here. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
