Now is the time to buy - hardware prices on the rise

Author: Chris Maddern - Categories: Uncategorized

This comes at a time that the GBP is losing ground against the USD at a rate not seen for quite a while and is causing manufacturing distributors to see rises in cost against selling prices of up to 10%.

It’s not certain how large price rises will be, but HPs confirmed and many other manufacturers (rumoured to include DELL) are planning this rise.

So.. if you’re looking for a new term deal. Sooner rather than later may be a good idea.

Windows Vista + Windows Onecare = A girl’s best friend?

Author: Chris Maddern - Categories: Uncategorized - Tags: ,

In a desperate attempt to replace Beach House Barbie on top of the most wanted list for young girls toys, Microsoft has (apparently) decided to grace its Japanese customers with a Pink-boxed bundle of Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Live Onecare.

The competition commission should be interested, as they are blatantly using their supremacy in the Operating System market to get a hold on the young-girls’ toy market.

(I also feel there’s a joke about ‘If apple can make pink stuff, so can we’ somewhere. Suggest yours in the comments…)
