It's not your imagination: Ticket scalper bots are flooding the internet according this 'ere study

No reason to stop

With TicketMaster's new surge pricing model, they want all these bots banging away for tickets, since the price of the tickets changes based on current demand.

Acer sued for shipping Vista-book with GB of memory

Nonsense

I run Vista Ultimate on a PC with 1GB of RAM and it works just fine. I like and use Linux and OS X also, but lets face facts here, the average user will be stumped by Linux. Yes, I know it has gotten a lot more user friendly, but as a take home OS from WalMart, not quite yet. And you aren't going to find a laptop with OS X for $600, so also not a WalMart buyer option.

A 4GB upgrade for that Acer is less than $50, so it looks like they actually did get ripped off, just not by Acer. If it doesn't do what you want, take it back to WalMart and get something else. This smells of someone who went looking for a name brand notebook they could sue over. I expect they will soon include WalMart in the lawsuit also.
