Captain Obvious works for Dell's Internet Team


I just went to the Dell website to look something up, and was rewarded by this incredible bit of sleuthery on the part of Dell's crack team of internet designers:

You are in Canada.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

The web designers didn't indicate if my being in Canada somehow altered the behaviour of the website, or if the selections were somehow tuned to my location. Just to brag that they were clever enough to detect where I'm located. It might have been more useful to have the message read something like "You are currently viewing the Canadian Dell Store." It's a little less braggish, as opposed to "Dude! We TOTALLY located your IP address! We are teh kool! You're in CANADA. Dude..."
