My sony vaio hates CNET I think
Aug 4, 2006 11:58PM PDT

Since my last post I have been troubleshooting this problem and my only conclusion is that my Sony VAIO dislikes CNET. My desktop will access it quickly even with a bridged connection through the laptop (which connects through my network wirelessly) but for some reason the laptop gets it at an uberly slow speed.

I think Sony deployed a program deep on my laptop to keep me off certain sites they really dont like. Its a ploy to take over the internet.

(Disclaimer - Sony does not actually hate CNET, probably have a publically released opinion on CNET, or are they trying to take over the internet or world. The first paragraph is fact but anything past is satirically dry humor. This problem is not even CNET's fault...)

Keep up the good work CNET!
