Acer: "Microsoft, do not sell too cheaply Surface"

 

Acer is the Microsoft partner that less is being cut in talking about Windows 8/RT and Surface, a few days ago criticized the Redmond foray into the world of hardware , and today, more smooth, worry about the price promising the Microsoft product.
Again, the Taiwanese company's CEO, JT Wang has confirmed its commitment to the new Windows strategy, but again reaffirmed that Surface will do more harm than good to the interests of Microsoft in the PC ecosystem / tablets.
Wang also claims to be more optimistic President involved in this adventure (the rest is silent), and Acer has come to be concerned, since it is difficult to understand the new rules of the game from Microsoft, which could play with aggressive pricing.
From Acer saying that the price of placing on the market two models of Surface, choice RT or Windows 8 will mark the relations with the other manufacturers. If Microsoft decides to go down to the more affordable model for $300 instead of 500/600 provided, others can not bring to market a competitive product.
In my opinion, the price will be high, exceeding $500, but Microsoft will have some leeway and can choose to get close to cost prices. But these declarations, the CEO of Acer wants to send a message to Microsoft: if much lower price, others can not compete, and Windows 8 will not be an interesting platform.

Come home satellite into space

 

In addition to the satellites created by the various space agencies in different countries, also groups of academics and universities have made ​​their own models and many of these are now in orbit around our planet, but here we have a satellite manufacturing home that has been created by the South Korean Song-Ho Jun in their own home .
This man of 34 years spent about $ 500 to create OPENSAT, a small satellite that weighs 1 kilogram and is shaped like a cube. OPENSAT is the result of an idea flashed through his head while working for a private company that manufactures satellites .
Once the small is in orbit, will be able to transmit data using radio and Morse code by LED lights.

Fortunately for Mr. Jun, the company will be responsible for carrying NovaNano into space in December.
