Wiznote blows rightnote out of the water and it's free. Servers are in China, so it might be harder for the NSA to spy on you . Only the Chinese gov., which may well not care enough

I have chrome (main process) taking an entire core. I removed most of the plugins, still the same problem. I suspect creating a new user would fix it, because on in cognito mode it stays alive ok.
Or I could switch to FF again
Any ideas about how to debug this? It's the latest version...

1.5 months later, HP is still passing the buck around and not able to produce a solution. They say I'm on their 3rd level of support. Whatever that is.
There's no doubt now about HP's support being incompetent.

Oh, Firefly and serenity... How I long for the day netflix decides to do a relaunch, like they did for 'Arrested development'. A pity the actors may be too old by now

For people trying to get away from coffee, but wanting to have the alertness that comes with it... try mate. National beberage of Argentina. Has to be consumed in a gourd. Totally worth the hassle, as the concetration peak you get... you could drill a hole on the wall with your stare O_o

Thanks all for your input. The machine is a pristine win7 install. It doesn't even have wireless drivers installed. All my dev work happens in a vmware virtual box. So it is music sanctuary.
@carol, the MS drivers are the same old ones I'm using.
@tinman, I'm pretty sure interactions are nasty, so I have reduced the active drivers to a mininum. But if nvidia/hp didn't test this, there's little else we can do.
I've raised a ticket with HP. The machine is under warranty. Took 3-4 calls to get the right dept. They redirected me to the german branch, which is unfortunate, as in Germany customer service is not a strong point. They asked me to write a detailed case, which I did, and I'm waiting to hear back from them.
Replacing the card or the machine (to something that is proven against dpc latency) sounds like the only reasonable option, and is what the UK service offered (5 business days). Let's see what HP Germany does, I suspect something borderline insulting to anyone who has experienced decent customer service living abroad.

FWIW, I think it's a killer app. A pity the forums, and the rest of the site, is not in EN. There seem to be many plugins. I could run the android app on my 2.3 phone, but on my 4.2 tablet it doesn't seem to even be listed on the app store.
How this flew under the radar, I have no idea. It does many things right.

Would people here be up for collecting signatures (the electronic equivalent) to show to MS that they should care about font rendering? I could set up a site for that, if there's interest.

A pity that the fonts are such a clusterfuck. I do hope windows 8.1 does something about this grayscale hinting business, because it's pitiful. MS was 3rd in font clarity behind Apple and linux with cleartype, and now they managed to widen the gap with their cleartype replacement. Astounding.
