I was checking out a review of a new Samsung netbook, the N310, and was struck by its impressive design - until I saw the photo above. I mean, WHAT THE HELL? Is Samsung so deluded that they believe people would want to have a product that looks like it was designed by a corporate marketing department? Why on earth would they make the logo so enormous - and, adding insult to injury, it looks like it's embossed. Bleh. I tend to admire Samsung's design language across their products quite a bit, but this was some sort of bizarre netbook lid experiment gone awry. Make that logo about 80% smaller, put it down in the left or right corner, and remove the embossing...and this would be a nice-looking netbook. As it stands now, this grotesque lid design is worthy only of mockery.

Shallow as it may be, that branding pretty much killed my interest in this unit. Didn't give it a further though. Of course I also remove the dealer advertising off of any new car I buy. What were they thinking.

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that.

I'd like to do the same thing with my new car - but I thought those stickers were more or less permanent...how do you get them off?

Fortunately mine have lately been mostly the license frame variety, which a few bucks and a screwdriver fixes. Te dealer logo'd spare tire cover was replaced by the dealer with one that just says Jeep, when he wasn't going to sell me the car until he did so. (Bluffing, but it worked). The stick on ones are a bit more problematic I would assume, like the darned, Designed for Window Whatever, Intel Inside and assorted crap on the laptop I'm using. I'd say patience and solvent. See if thre dealer has a suggestion :0 That's allways fun.
