Asus sent souped-up batteries to Eee 9" reviewers

April 22, 2008 3:48pm

I'm surprised no-one else has commented on this...

At first reading, I thought it said that they were going to offer battery replacements to all early eee pc adopters, on closer reading, it's just Hong Kong buyers of the 900 on the first day. That's me stuck with a duff battery then! (Bought two of the eee's first incarnation.)

Just do it ffs. The cost compared to this negative story is miniscule against the massive good will they have at the moment.

I'm certainly going to be waiting for the atom...

I remember that long shot vividly from oh so many years ago, especially that lady on the far right. Must be nearly 20 years since I last saw it...

As soon as they start talking about shit like station levels and skip counts, you know it is DOOMED.

And rightly so. FFS Are these people insane? You just know it's NEVER going to work. Jesus.

SMS for the nearest toilet

Can't imagine you'd get much joy from this service - there are so few public toilets in Westminster anymore due to the council closing them all for budgetary reasons, you'd most likely piss yourself before you got to the directed toilet.

Same goes for the rest of London. Richmond council have pretty much closed every single public convenience in the borough. Instead they're spending the modest maintainence budget they had pursuading local businesses to allow the public to use their staff toilets.

If you try to use the long since closed toilet in Kennington Cross, you're directed by a notice that the nearest public "convenience" is in Popes Road in Brixton - a 15-20 minute bus ride away.

No friends yet.
