    You have been away for a bit I see... yes. That is joker and he is active here on the forums. You can see more of this in the R2 owners loung thread and the flickering thread.

    He use to visit Area 51, its near his house, he also was eyewitness in a UFO crash, so, those aliens was concerned about what he can say to the cops, so, they made a deal: Fix your little son or i will spoiler you . . . they fix it . . no more choice

    Joker lives near Alienware HQ, so he gave them his laptop and they used it for testing. Along with replacing his LED they also left on the beta BIOS.

    The alienware techs took his R2 and tinkered with it and installed the new upcoming BIOS. They took his since he lives near the facility. He's the only one with it.
