I sat in on the Michael Dell keynote this morning at the Venetian, hoping to hear something gaming related. Unsurprisingly, there was no mention of Dell acquiring Ziff-Davis gaming mags and 1UP.com. There was also no mention of Michael Dell talking about investing in Altantean property or putting research funds into why unicorns are so magical.
What he did talk about was continuing to target the 12.5 million MMO players worldwide and the success of World of Warcraft. He brought Blizzard's VP of Game Design Rob Pardo on stage to share the corporate love and show off some new hardware.
In addition to the product announcements made earlier, Dell announced that two custom airbrushed Dell M1710 laptops would be auctioned off on eBay soon. The proceeds of that auction would go to the Second Harvest organization. The WoW fanatics with deep pockets out there should be on the lookout to score bragging rights and send your expendable income to those in need.
