[We need your help!] Help fight vendor lock-in, sign this petition to Lenovo

[Cyberian]

I just signed the petition, Lenovo's modus operandi is "be average" not "for those who do". By the way anybody ever watch this awesome critique of the new Thinkpads vs the original IBM Thinkpads?

the related videos are good too!

That makes two good reasons to steer clear of Lenovo

Signed! Here's my message to Lenovo:

"I'm signing this petition because I am looking for a new high-end notebook PC. I have REMOVED LENOVO FROM MY LIST OF PURCHASING CHOICES, until I receive email-confirmation that Lenovo's abhorrent anti-consumer/anti-end-user practice of BIOS-Whitelisting has ceased."

I think it should be the case of a class action. Whitelisting hardware is not only annoying, it's unfair for hardware manufacturers and for customers. And the justification is simply ridiculous!
