I'm hoping someone can point out an obvious strategy or something.
A while back, HP announced they were dumping their successful PC manufacturing business, and that the Touchpad and Pre3 were being pulled. Ok, clearly the management had been smoking something, but alright, whatever. So we get our fire sale $100 Touchpad and the promise of a $75 Pre3. Except the Pre3 doesn't look like it was ever sold for $75 in the UK where the price was announced; it was up for £299 ($486) for a while and then disappeared from HP's site, for a while redirecting to their laptops section for no discernible reason. Now it's "sold out". Yeah. Ok. Meanwhile, Blakey's TouchPad order from B&N was mysteriously canceled among many others on Amazon. Now they're being sold in the UK for £399 for the base model. ($648) The people they have manning the phones don't know what's going on. Inconsistencies in the website signify they don't know what's going on. They're deleting posts on their Facebook wall apparently about it. All I can picture of this is two men in suits fighting over a keyboard, one saying "Fire sale!" and the other one saying "Rip off the British!"

RE: Am I nukeable?
Work is about 150 miles off. Home... is pretty close, definitely enough that a strike such as that described would be cause for concern.

RE: Gimp 2.7.2 Splash Screen
Although don't think I've ever seen crapware based on open-source software (probably with "enhancements" added by the distributor) before.
