Dell has launched five Special Art Edition designs for the Dell Studio 15 and 17 laptops, created by urban artist Mike Ming.
The designs for the Dell Studio 15 and 17 laptops include “Red Swirl,” “Seaweed,” “Sunburst,” “Bunch O Surfers” and “Sea Sky.” Each piece of artwork is brought to life through Dell’s manufacturing technique, which enables every color and individual brushstroke to be permanently “tattooed” on the laptop’s cover. The Special Art Edition Dell Studio laptops are available for order today on www.dell.co.in, starting at Rs. 59,800 for the Dell Studio 15.
Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming (born Michael Miyahira) blends popular culture, motion and emotion to communicate his visual world. According to Ming, “The technology behind creating Dell’s Art House series of laptops allows me to share my visual creations with people who are inspired by art and who want to express their own individually unique sense of style.”
“It’s exciting and fun discovering new artists around the world who can create emotional ties, uniqueness and personalization with individuals’ personal technology,” said Girish Mehta, Director of Consumer Marketing, Dell India. “The Special Art Edition designs reflect our customers’ desires to add another level of individuality to everyday life.”

Lenovo is all set to introduce an update to its Macbook Air competitor, the X300. The new notebook will be called the X301 and will expand on the first model by using Centrino 2 ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processors which will run at a speculated speed of both 1.2GHz and 1.4 GHz processors. They are also looking to extend the battery life of the original.
The X301 will also add a 128 GB solid-state drive and add DisplayPort without removing VGA. This gives users the choice of both, an analog and digital display. The company will also offer a faster, HSPA-based 3G option for AT&T data subscribers in the states and will also seek to add WiMAX as an option once Sprint’s Xohm network launches in September of this year.
The X301 will be available at a price of $2599 and will be available at fixed vendors from 29 Aug. onwards.

MSI has unveiled the MSI Wind codename U100 at Computex 2008. It will be available in 2 different versions and will be differentiated on the basis of its OS, i.e. either Linux or Windows XP.The Windows XP version of the MSI Wind is priced at $499 MSRP, and will be available for purchase starting June 16th. The Linux based MSI Wind will be available later for $399 MSRP.
The Windows version of the MSI Wind features an 80GB 2.5 SATA hard drive, 1.6Ghz Intel Atom CPU and 10-inch screen. The Wind’s display features embedded LED power-saving backlight technology, which provides color quality and brightness, a 1.3M webcam, Bluetooth capabilities, 3 USB ports and a 4-in-1 card reader.
With this launch I am sure that MSI can now breathe easy. I mean after all they were unwilling to confirm what was the worst kept secret – MSI using the Intel Atom processor, which was all but announced at IDF earlier.

Microsoft Corp. was to reorganize its online services to try to increase focus on its Internet business as the head of its online division was set to leave the company, The Wall Street Journal said Thursday.Microsoft announced Wednesday that Kevin Johnson, the influential head of its online division was joining the network hardware maker Juniper Networks Inc.Johnson is widely regarded as one of the architects of Microsoft’s failed takeover attempt of the Internet portal Yahoo Inc.Microsoft’s platform and services division is to split into two groups, one in charge of the Windows operating system and a second for Microsoft online services.Microsoft invested billions of dollars into its online business in the past years with limited success.Rival Google Inc. remains the dominant force in online advertising while competition for Microsoft is increasing in office software as other companies offer such products on the internet.

Google Inc. is taking the wraps off an Internet encyclopedia designed to give people a chance to show off – and profit from – their expertise on any topic.The service, dubbed ”knol” in reference to a unit of knowledge, had been limited to an invitation-only audience of contributors and readers for the past seven months.Now anyone with a Google login will be able to submit an article and, if they choose, have ads displayed through the Internet search leader’s marketing system. The contributing author and Google will share any revenue generated from the ads, which are supposed to be related to the topic covered in the knol.The advertising option could encourage people to write more entries about commercial subjects than the more academic topics covered in traditional encyclopedias.Since Google disclosed its intention to build knol, it has been widely viewed as the company’s answer to Wikipedia, which has emerged as one of the Web’s leading reference tools by drawing upon the collective wisdom of unpaid, anonymous contributors.But Google views knol more as a supplement to Wikipedia than a competitor, said Cedric Dupont, a Google product manager. Google reasons that Wikipedia’s contributors will be able to use some of the expertise shared on knol to improve Wikipedia’s existing entries.With a seven-year head start on knol, Wikipedia already has nearly 2.5 million English-language articles and millions more in dozens of other languages.Knol is starting out with several hundred entries. The initial topics covered include an overview of constipation by a University of San Francisco associate professor of gastroenterology and backpacking advice from one of Google’s own software engineers.Unlike Wikipedia, knol requires the authors to identify themselves to help the audience assess the source’s credibility. Google doesn’t intend to screen the submissions for accuracy, Dupont said, and instead will rely on its search formulas to highlight the articles that readers believe are credible.Google has had mixed success so far in its attempts to expand beyond its ubiquitous search engine, which generates most of its profits. While products like its e-mail service have been hits, other forays like a listing system called ”Base” and a social network called Orkut haven’t fared as well.
