    Stylish teaser video... I just wasted 30 seconds of my live.
    That's not how to build up 'excitement', HP !

    I second this. Plastic would probably be its death spell.

    I watched the trailer without sound. I have no idea what they're trying to sell, but it seemed to be thin sheets of plastic or glass that rotate in mid air - perhaps some sort of modern art piece.

    If HP wants me to spend money on their product, they'd better showcase the product visually. I like to mute commercials. The splashy effects were nice, but I still don't know what HP is selling.

    Besides, it's HP. They lost my trust in 2007 with a bad laptop.

    death well?
    death shell?

    It's 'death knell' - something that heralds death or destruction

    I always wonder about the marketing firm (and the execs that OK it) that think this is likely to sell me this product.
