I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread anymore. OP has complained, VM has responded, and the entire community has weighed in on it. I know it may be the popular thing now to howl for VM to build this guy a new computer with all new parts and send him on a cruise, etc, but a couple...
a bit too soon to say, don't you think?
but that's beside the point, since hdoo is not hp buying voodoo as a separate wholly owned subsidiary. voodoo is becoming part of hp. Rahul and Ravi are going to start working for HP - so it's just the teensiest bit different, you see. Alex and Nelson...
HP is a huge multinational - they can get top drawer talent from anywhere in the world. why the hell would they buy a tiny boutique to get it? I know rahul knows his sh*t (less confident in Ravi's abilities, but that's another story), but there are a lot of people out there who know a helluva...
So now it's news. Voodoo's taken their big pay day. hdoo is upon us.
I have to say this news took me completely off guard. Of all the boutiques, Voodoo has been the most vocal about being a "pure" gaming company. Their whole philosophy was about being the best out there - money's no object...
Very cool - the folks at Velocity sure seem to know what they're doing. I remember that a few folks were worried that vm was selling out by going into Best Buy, but it seems to me that they're doing exactly what they set out to - bring the more boutique-y experience to a mainstream audience...
Kyle,
as many others have indicated here, you've really let me down. I think you (as the author of the original article and the editorial) behaved unprofessionally and I'm disappointed in your subsequent behavior. it was and continues to be childish, unfair, and unnecessary. Do you really...
Second that. Now that it's Delienware, I think the name is even less of a draw than it use to be. As far as I know their tech support is still outsourced to Costa Rica and not that hot. Check out resellerratigns to see current assessments.
seems like someone just caught a great deal at vm. I appreciate the fact that the vm ceo has once again responded to questions on this forum.
at first I was skeptical of the price differential, but the reasons laid out make sense. with so many folks here diy-focused, that price really jumps...
It's probably pretty easy to offer killer support when you deal with a low volume of systems and have like three employees (I read that somewhere on this forum). With just three peeps, I think it's safe to say they knew who you were. But I doubt they gave you a different service experience - I'd...
commander suzdal - are you a lawyer? would be cool to have one available on the forum (I'm sure you'd love all the unsolicited questions and requests for advice). Since every state's laws differ, I'd be wary of giving advice like this - just in case. I know this is off topic, but people do read...
congratulations, Chris! I join the many here who lament your departure. Best of luck in your new position. sounds more than ideal.
certainly speaks well of vm to be able to spot and lure such talent to their organization. I look forward to seeing what crazy things you develop at vm. Happy...
I must have missed how [h] caused their own shipping problems. Most PC companies will ask you these days to confirm your shipping address with the credit card company if it's different from the billin address. in these days of identity theft, such precautions are standard. Of course, most...
