    Beard-busting?

    When I saw that headline I thought they were going to release another laptop for all bearded Linux geeks. So disappointed.

    You're fired.

    Those would be my words to all the people involved in such a blatant f*** up like this. Positively incompetent.

    Hilarious

    This article was great. The caption of "Bzzzzzzzzz... Ouch!" on the second photo was truly hilarious. Congrats to the author (and whatever, if any, eagle-eyed El Reg reader brought it to your attention).

    It's still live on the Dell site as of 8:45 AM CDT...

    Yep, or maybe Brawn (as in computing power?)

    This idea

    of putting an electric shaver into a portable device could be in the next iphone-killer. I can see the merit of having a quick shave before or while you take that special call

    Free publicity

    Seems they have gained a few extra inches (of column). So it could have been deliberate.

    CPU fan doubles as shaving blade

    No, they really mean Braun. The CPU cooling fan doubles as a shaving blade. The downside to this arrangement is that you have to run a high load on the system while grooming, and the trimmings get blown all over your face.

    Outsourcing

    Out sourcing, I suppose. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

    Grinds yer beans

    Braun also makes some coffee equipment. And everyone knows computers and coffee go together. So there, I've solved that mystery for you. Let me know when the cheque's ready.

    Paris, because she also goes with coffee, I've no doubt.
