Microsoft Ads Aims at Apple Where it Hurts: Value For The Price

Microsoft is coming out with a couple of video ads that kick Apple where it hurts: the stalk the value. Basically the ad says that users who want a computer that bulkier and more powerful should look at PCs because they provide a better value for the price, especially if one is looking at the 17" laptops. A Dell Inspiron with an (almost) similar configuration to the 17" Macbook Pro ($2700) goes for $1300. This means that there is a gap in Apple's offering that (big) PC laptops cover very well. Anyhow, it's just an ad, so take a look. What do you think?

Personal Urban Mobility And Accessibility Project

General Motors and Segway have joined forces, resulting in the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (PUMA) that aims to deliver a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle which carries two people at up to speeds of 35 mph, which is nearly three times faster than Segway's 12 mph top speed, with a 35 mile range to boot. It will be powered by a lithium battery, while boasting a built-in communications device that can "talk" to similar vehicles in the vicinity in order to further reduce the risk of accidents. There is no word on pricing yet, but we're looking at a quarter of the price of a traditional automobile. Curious folks can check out the PUMA project at the New York Auto Show this week.

After all, the LimePC is tipped to retail for around $199 should it arrive Stateside, but if you can't wait and love to show off shiny and new gadgets all the time, then do place a bid.
