in my opinion, it should be the other way around, its acer who buys out dell.

Despite the worst recession in decades, Linux giant Red Hat added 600 employees to its rolls during the 12 months that ended Feb. 28, and the Raleigh company anticipates more hiring going forward, according to a filing Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Acer is now the number three PC maker behind HP and Dell, and it posted a $428.8m profit (up 38 per cent) on sales of $16.65bn (up 15 per cent) in 2008.

In comparison, during the same twelve month period ending in January 2009 (the closest thing to Acer's annual figures), Dell had sales of $61.1bn, but only posted profits of $2.48bn. And in the most recent quarter ended in January

many cores Larrabee will contain. The site and others came up 32 cores, a number Knupffer wouldn't confirm.

A number of non-Apple netbook users that have installed Mac OS X on their systems are reporting that the recent update to 10.5.7 for Leopard has brought significant improvements to the diminutive mobile computers. "A bunch of people running a hackintoshed Dell Mini 9 or MSI Wind are reporting an extra hour of battery life with 10.5.7 over 10.5.6," a developer told Ars.

Sorry I did not have time to read the whole thread and again sorry if someone else mentioned this previously: I cannot understand why ATOM is a failed project. This is simply ridiculous...

Considering the netbook market which has a huge share and considering the fact that every netbook comes with an ATOM processor, I think it is a *huge* success. They have sold millions of that chip and they are being sold thousands every day all around the world.

Someone should have serious mental problems to name a multi-million selling chip *a fail*.

When word recently leaked that Apple bought 10-inch touch screens from a Taiwanese manufacturer, the mobile world buzzed and twittered. Is it a giant iPhone? A flying netbook? Probably more like Clark Kent's reporter tablet.

when you grow old enough to apply for your own driver's license instead of letting parent carry you round, you'd understand economics or politics better, enough said.

 

Where the heck are the mods on this forum to clean up stuff like this?

You've simply made a bunch of unsubstantiated claims and resorted to ad hominem attacks when someone disagrees with you. Believe it or not, Apple is not the alpha and omega. Yes they make very nice laptops but they make very high end laptops.

Also, believe it or not but Intel is doing very well. It easily has the fastest SSDs around (go check out the anandtech article on this) and easily the fastest processors (you seriously expect more than 3 GHz on mobile when desktop is not much more?). Atom was never meant to be a mid-range solution but rather an alternative for the celeron line of processors. Its low price and performance shows this.
