incompetence

Hey, now that is pretty cool! Hot on the heels of a report suggesting that some 280 million people around the world have suffered some kind of data loss (through theft or incompetence mainly) during the last three years, Dell just might have the answer.

It would appear to be shipping laptops which can, quite literally, encrypt themselves. Well, OK, encrypt the data that is stored upon them so making it useless to anyone who steals said machine or buys it second hand on eBay.

The laptops, which have yet to be priced, will feature Seagate Momentus drives that have full disk AES 128-bit...

Thank you for shopping at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Kmart, Target, etc

Leading the stupid shipping gang takes creative incompetence, and Hewlett-Packard is clearly up to the task. Other companies might have turned to email when faced with the challenge of shipping sixteen software licenses.

Not Hewlett-Packard! HP went looking for a box. A really big box.
