T-Mobile 'considering additional measures' to compensate Sidekick owners {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 5:23PM Yes and no on HDS being on the hook for backups. I use HP XP12000 arrays (same as the HDS Tagmastor) and we routinely contract with HP for a variety of work done on the arrays. It all depends on the contract terms, but most vendors (such as HP) with push to make sure there's a recoverable backup on site before touching anything, along with doing a site survey of all the systems, adapters, and firmware levels of everything connected. Yes, it's incredibly complicated but migrating between arrays can be a fairly simple and routine task. My guess, having lived through a variety of things like this, is that the data owner didn't have a reliable, recoverable backup and the SAN vendor couldn't help. It could be that they have the data, but no way to recover and migrate it. This is something we may never know fully about.

Dell Studio XPS 13 and 16 turn white, we fall in love {Engadget}
Aug 26th 2009 4:18PM Call Dell directly; I got mine spec'd out with a CPU that wasn't available on the website (2.66GHz w/6MB cache) along with wireless N and 8GB of RAM. It seems that the website has strange combinations for the XPS 13, where the Ubuntu laptop had a faster CPU with more cache than the Windows ones, but the Windows ones would go up to 8GB of RAM and have wireless N. In addition, the SSD used to be on the site, and now it isn't (but it is available). I used Dell's EPP person and told him I wanted the 2.5GHz 6MB cache CPU and all my other specs, and he bumped me up to the 2.66GHz and it still cost less than the web combo with slightly weaker specs. It's worth calling.

Aug 26th 2009 1:09PM I ordered my XPS 13 in merlot last week, and I got the leather option as well. I hope it holds up, because the pics look great with it. I bought mine for virtualization more than anything else and got 8GB of RAM to go in it.
