Because you have a funny non-Indian accent. Remember to speak with a curled tongue, purse your lips and accentuate the P\'s and L\'s. Also the D\'s are to be mixed with T\'s while B\'s and P\'s should be mixed together.

Dell DENIES buy-out rumor.

That\'s good, that Alienware doesn\'t sell out. Then again, anyone who needs a high end computer should invest the time to learn to build one, and do it themselves... faster and cheaper.
That\'s good news. And yes...building FTW!!

The latest twist to the story

Quote
After denying the rumors that first started circulating a couple weeks ago, Dell has finally confirmed that they\'ve acquired high-end gaming rig manufacturer Alienware for an undisclosed amount.

When suits are making such acquisition decisions, they often start with a "make or buy" investigation. One can assume that whenever the decision to "buy" (that is, acquire an external company) has been made, said suits determined that the acquisition target offered something that they couldn\'t "make" on their own for the right price and within the right time frame.

Oh hell, we\'ll stop beating around the bush: Dell purchased Alienware because Dell has repeatedly failed to build credibility in the high-end PC gaming market. Few Joystiq readers associate the Dell name with gaming performance, and that\'s exactly why Dell had to acquire an outside company.

So it looks like the denial was made, but false because the deal wasn\'t final (and I assume that there was some stock buying/selling going on and they wanted to prices to hold for a few more days).  Now its confirmed.  Dell buys Alienware.  Oh well, I guess another small independant will have to startup and make high end computers... I know I\'ve thought about entering that market a few times in the last few years...
