Dell reported an $11.6B profit last year, but the company apparently isn't satisfied -- it just announced a plan to shave off $3B in costs over the next three years. As you'd expect, it's going to take a little more than off-brand soda and thrift store uniforms to achieve the sqeeze: 6,500 jobs are due to be eliminated (on top of 3,200 already cut) and a desktop manufacturing plant in Austin is scheduled to close as well. The big chunk, however, is going to come putting the squeeze on design, manufacturing, and logistics, as well as cutting component and material costs across all Dell product lines. That's the part that has us a little worried, actually -- we're fans of new Dells like the XPS M1330, here's hoping this doesn't mean a return to beige boxes.

Hate surprises? Like teaching kids about the Santa myth and the truth of their adoption? Good, this
followup series of Dell scoops is for you. We'll be back in a few with the first peek at Dell's second generation
Latitude XT tablet. And that's just the beginning. Until then, why not guess what that mystery device is up top.
Hint: It's not as innovative as it looks.
