The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z Giveaway

Lenovo1Lenovo is allowing twenty websites to each gift a brand spankin’ new Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z all-in-one computer system. (You know, the one w/ the mungo huge (23”) touch-enabled screen.)

We have been selected as one of the sites to give away one of these systems to a lucky reader.

The schedule for giving away systems is below, and Medicine & Technology is the first site to do so.

M90z_control-fingertipsEach site has carte blanche to create and administer their own individual giveaway.

I am in the process of thinking up a contest for AbsolutelyWindows. If you have any ideas, send them to me at john (dot) obeto (at) absolutevista (dot) com.

I am also thinking of adding some swag for both the winner, and the runner up. I’ll keep you informed.

Remember, you have 20 chances to win. Avail yourselves of this opportunity. Be advised though, that you can only win once.

Windows Live on Lenovo systems

They have seen the Light Live!

Lenovo, the #3 PC manufacturer, has inked a deal with Microsoft to ship its systems with the Windows Live Toolbar, and Live.com as the start page of all systems.

The move for Lenovo to Live.com from the former sparse page will allow for greater customization of the start page by Lenovo, and their customers.

Live.com, for the 3 people on Terra who do not know, allows an infinite number of customization options including gadgets, RSS feeds, and mail.

I also see deals of this sort help the fortunes of other Live properties, which is 'A Good Thing', since I consume virtually all of the Windows Live products on a daily basis, including but not limited to Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail Desktop, Windows Live writer, Windows Live QnA, Windows Live Expo, etc.

This is a big blow to those those search philistines who owned the space with this vendor before.

Congratulations to the Bruce Kasrel and the Windows Live team for this very auspicious start to the hopeful flood of similar deals.

Lenovo recalls ThinkPad batteries

I could pile on here, but it is just too easy.

Suffice it to say that if the problem is even remotely related to Sony batteries, then the entire executive management of Lenovo should be publicly flogged for letting it come down to this.
