Lenovo “leaks” (aka markets) new ThinkPad models in advance of CES
Leaking is so trendy these days.
December it was all about Google's Nexus One, which lit up the Blogosphere with photos, videos and endless posts about its specs. Funny thing those "leaks." Especially ones that provide full-blown review models to press (Engadget received a Nexus One and has complete unboxing...
