Windows 7 : Only $3 in China !
Oct 16th
Windows 7 is already available in selected stores in China. Of course those ’selected’ store are not from Microsoft, and the pricing policy is as you can imagine quite different : 3 dollars for the Ultimate retail box, the price of a coffee in western countries !
If piracy is core business there, how can you expect a chinese to spend i.e. $200 in a software when that’s what he makes per month ?
Good news, China officials are trying to slow the wave. They’ll be happy if they limit piracy to 50% of all software sold from 2012 on.
This means piracy is here to stay !
Chinese UFO !
Sep 7th
Purple Mountain scientists in Nanjing, China, said to have caught on tape a UFO during 40 minutes ! As usual, if it’s a fake, we’ll forget about it. And if it’s a real UFO, they’ll make us forget ! *.+ ° FLASH °+.* ! Like Men in Black ! 
Dell Mini 3i Mobile !
Aug 17th
So, Dell goes mobile now ? And in China with China Mobile ? Dell seems really resilient considering his past market crashes with PDA gadgets. Will he be a market maker now in (asian) mobile business ? The ‘thing’ is an Androïd based item (with no 3G or Wi-Fi) intended to address price concerns of still (despite huge) emerging chinese customer base. The 3.5 inch touchscreen and 3 megapixel camera are also here to remind us that the 3i has also an iPhone-like personality. But cheaper one.
Big gun questions :
Is the mobile market in need of an extra player, be it Dell ?
Is Dell in such a big rush to diversify that he can’t still contemplate the smartphone margins fly away from his bottom line ?
Will creativity knock-knock one day again to Dell’s door ?
Life is sometimes so unfair !
