Not surprised. Those bozos build their machines only a few miles from me. Their facility and employees are nothing special. They source all their stuff from Newegg and contract out the cases to be specially sprayed. In other words I can repeat EVERYTHING they do and probably do a better job for less.

Up to a point. Then it's just a free t-shirt and a bag of coffee with your glowing logo...

I will say that the Lenovo T series laptops are pretty damn bullet proof.

No but I have built a few gaming computers in the past year for friends/family. After everything is said and done, I don't think I actually made anything

Damn free tech support. Now.. digital forensics on the other hand..

None that I know of, so you'll need a computer to be the middle-man. You could upload it to your box.net account and fill up your 50 gigs

I found a couple of threads stating eye-fi app being developed or possible beta release..

It does seem like with the number of people picking up the touchpad, more interest / effort into porting Android.
