Never had it so good
There were a couple of price cut announcements this week, possibly inspired by the fact that the world's run out of money. Super Talent announced what appear to be the lowest priced 64GB and 128GB solid state drives yet, while Samsung decided to get its retaliation in early and drop the price of its new netbook before it's even launched.
But the star of the week had to be larger than life Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who was in town for a shout about Software plus Services. Among his revelations were that a new operating system will be unveiled later this month, so watch this space.
Microsoft also showed off some of the cleverness that has resulted from its S+S efforts, including a cool interactive view of the whole world and a domestic messaging service that we were subsequently able to find out a bit more about.
Anyway, none of that really matters because the bailout has been approved and liquidity has been restored. The dark days of actually having to have some money before you spend it are over and we've never had it so good. Hurrah!
