Newegg Ships Fake Intel CPUs, Gets Egg on Face

Newegg Ships Fake Intel CPUs, Gets Egg on Face

Posted using ShareThis

This is an article from PCMag talking about an incident at Newegg. As you may know I work at Newegg. Although I know about the issue but not the people responsible I do have to say a few things:

1.) The fact that the original email saying that the CPU were "demo units" needs someone in Customer Service (or whatever dept) who was responsible for approving the use of the words "demo units" to apologize. And I'm not talking about a middle manager level, something like this would require Director or President level.

2.) Anyone who installed one of these is just plain stupid and deserves to stop building their own computers.

3.) Whoever was in charge of checking the stock for quality should be fired or suspended for a period of time at the least. In this economy, s/he will learn very fast to either learn English fluently or to actually check.

4.) For those who are hating on Newegg, you need to grow up, Newegg is a retailer and not the company packaging the product, stop blaming Newegg for something that although could have been avoided, was not Newegg's fault. Blame IPEX who if you have noticed has not released a statement nor has found out who sold these to them. Which means either they have no idea as of yet or it is entirely their fault and they are taking their time with their lawyers to issue a formal apology.

5.) Love the Newegg Hitler clip on YouTube (just search Newegg Hitler).

6.) These are my personal opinions and in now way reflect the views or opinions from Newegg.

How is this a draw? It's black's turn, is this not a checkmate?

Snipping Tool

Has anyone wished they could take a screen shot of something really cool but you either don't know about the PRNT SCRN button or you hate Microsoft Paint. Well, for those who don't have Windows 7 you're out of luck.

For those who do have Windows 7 there is a tool that Microsoft added called Snipping Tool (see picture). This allows you to take a snap shot of windows without having to use Paint to crop or highlight or point out features. Here is an example of what it can do:

Notice that this is not square, it is free form. You can do a boring old square but that doesn't make a fun blog entry.

Just thought this was cool and thought I would share.

Cool new feature in IE

Don't know if I have showed anyone in the family this but the new version of IE (Internet explorer) has these things called accelerators. Basically it allows you to view something without having to go to the website directly. For example, I took a CPU on TigerDirect and used the Newegg Accelerator to find how much the item was on Newegg. This particular CPU is the same on both websites however, TigerDirect does not offer free shipping. That's one thing accelerators wont show but you can get the idea of where these things can go. At least I hope so. If not I can post more stuff about this.

Another thing with accelerators is that you can highlight a news article, and click post to blog with blogger (this website) or even Microsoft's blog site through MSN/Bing/Hotmail. I'm going to continue to play around with these while in class. Teacher is trying to teach us about how important technology is and is somehow fascinated that you can hook up a notebook to a projector.

My Bowflex

I just thought this up, but maybe someone has said it before? Can anyone let me know if someone has so that I can credit them appropriately?

Thanks

The Count of Monte Cristo

Tonight started what will most likely be the longest read I have ever done; the fully unabridged version of "The Count of Monte Cristo," all 1462 pages of small print. My goal is to have this book finished by the time I graduate....but who knows, maybe I'll get into that groove and be able to finish by the end of the year.
