Two of the biggest corporate sponsors of China's Flame of Shame have taken the high road and begged out of their contract to sponsor the China Torch Relay...can you blame them? Rumor has it that the co-created Coca Cola Lap Tops are now available at a reduced price...hey Lenovo and Coke, in honor of your making the right decision, here is a FREE BLOG ADVERTISEMENT. I hope other bloggers follow suit and plug your products. By the way, any chance this America blogger could get his hands on one? I love Coca Cola!
Lenovo releases Coke-themed F20 laptop in China

Even though the U.S. government may
want nothing to do with its computers, Lenovo's still got so much love for the red, white, and blue that it's releasing a special-edition notebook branded with one of the most recognizable American icons: everyone's favorite tooth-decaying soft drink. Oddly enough, the company's Coca Cola-red, Pentium M-powered F20 was designed in honor of the 2008 Olympic Games -- which are not only two years away, but taking place in China, and not the U.S. (where was this lappy in 1996 when the Games were held in Coke's hometown of Atlanta?). Anyway, besides the snazzy paint job and stick-on Olympic rings, this version of the F20 is pretty much your run-of-the-mill 12.1-inch laptop, sporting an ULV 1.66GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, integrated graphics, an 80GB hard drive, and all the ports, wireless radios, and card readers you've come to expect from notebooks these days. Obviously priced in yuan, this model is going for the equivalent of $1,575, but since Lenovo knows that you can't possibly resist drinking a Coke while you're using this machine, they're throwing in some of that high-tech
Batmobile-style armor plating on the house.
