26.8.2008 New IE 7 Icon and Logo
Hopefully, by now you?ve seen from our posts that there are a lot of new features and work going into IE 7. As part of this update, we?re refreshing our icon and logotype. We considered more radical departures from our current logo, but blue ?e? with the ring is very recognizable and familiar to users, so we elected instead to make more subtle changes.

Intel going for a new logo(?)
The new Intel processor, codename 'Yonah', announced for the 3rd of January 2006, will according to X86-secret simply be called 'Core Solo' or 'Core Duo'. Depending on the amount of cores (no way! where did they come up with that). It's more than 10 years ago since Intel created ax X86-architecture CPU that wasn't called 'Pentium'. Machines with Centrino CPU's will also get a new sticker-logo from now on, saying only 'Centrino', without the real CPU name. The amount of cores will still be mentioned on the sticker.

14.09.2006Dell unlikely to be purchasing Acer in their buying spree
Dell's been on a bit of a buying spree recently; according to the head honcho, Michael Dell, they have a 'portfolio of acquisitions' that
they're looking at to help boost earnings, but according to Bloomberg, this is unlikely to include the company Acer. As you may be aware, Acer is
the third largest maker of personal computers, so it would certainly be a valuable purchase, but Brian Gladden (Chief Financial Officer for Dell) says
that, "It would be very low on our list of opportunities." It's expected that Acer may surpass Dell in shipments, but Gladden brushed it off by
stating, "That doesn't bother me at all. Selling netbooks that have zero margin, I'm not excited about.

17.07.2009Apple causes legal distress over revamped Woolworths logo

fine… but unfortunately, they weren't, particularly for Apple, Inc. AppleInsider has reported that the Cupertino-based company Apple,
known mostly for the the iPod, the Mac, and the iPhone, believes Woolworths' logo is far too similar to its own, wanting it to be changed.
Apple's had a history of legal battles with other companies over logo similarities, though it's expected for a company to want to defend its

that any Vista based PC purchased 30 days prior will receive a free upgrade to Windows 7. While we still don't have an official release date

Windows 7 may be released sometime later this year. With the public release of the release candidate right around the corner, and development towards

pass Windows Genuine Advantage validation offline, OEM style. The leaked .ISO was originally posted on a Chinese forum, which was then downloaded in
order for people to get hold of the boot.wim, and in turn retrieving the OEM-SLP key, plus the OEM activation certificate. Microsoft uses the same
digitally signed OEM certificate, which has an .xrm-ms extension, as that in Windows Vista.

04.06.2008Acer aces out Lenovo as world's third-largest PC maker
Of the 62 million PCs shipped
in the first quarter of 2007,
the biggest story is a company
that shipped a little over 4
million units. Taiwan-based
Acer has taken hold of 6.8
percent of the global PC
market, good enough for third
place, according to market
research firm iSuppli.
After taking the No. 3
slot in worldwide notebook
sales from Toshiba in the
fourth quarter of 2006, Acer
has taken even more ground,
this time from Lenovo. The
Chinese computer maker is now
0.4 percent points behind Acer
in worldwide computer market
share.
Acer also
turned in the best growth
performance of all the top
five PC suppliers, according
to the iSuppli report. Its
shipments grew 45.8 percent to
4.2 million units, up from 2.9
million in the same quarter a
year ago. ..

06.06.2007Acer's Growth Hiccups as Lenovo Reclaims World #3 PC Maker Position
We've been using the term "resurgent" in conjunction with Acer so often that you'd begin to think it was a brand name for a new PC model. But in
the quarter just ended the surge failed, so to speak, as hardware analysis firm iSuppli reports unit shipments for Acer fell by 10,000 for the first
time in several quarters.
For the second quarter of 2007, the "resurgent" tag belongs elsewhere: first to Lenovo, which
responded to Acer's first quarter challenge with flying colors. Shipping 22.9% more units in the second quarter than it did in the first, Lenovo
pumped out about 4.87 million PCs. In so doing, it bumped Acer in iSuppli's global Top 5 OEM list back down to #4, and took back 1.5% of market
share.
And at last, the news actually looks good for Dell, which staked at least a partial claim to the "resurgent" title. It
took back 1.1% of global market share, on what the company hopes will be its comeback trail, shipping about 9.5 million units worldwide.
