Microsoft pays for inaccurate "Apple Tax" study, issues 3rd TV ad

Microsoft pays for inaccurate "Apple Tax" study, issues 3rd TV ad
Hoping to persuade possible Mac buyers that Apple charges an arbitrary "tax" for its computers, Microsoft has paid one analyst to create a report that portrays Windows PCs as less expensive -- even if it has to artificially pad the Mac's price and hide Windows' costs to get there.


Help App Store Reach 1 Billion Downloads

We all know the App Store is a pretty hoppin place at the moment. With thousands upon thousands of apps being downloaded daily, it never ceases to amaze. Now, Apple is wanting to reach a steep plateau…1 billion downloads (say that with a Dr. Evil voice).

Of course, Apple is going about this is a pretty cool way. They’re holding a contest, and when you download one of their featured apps you’re automatically registered to win. The winner will receive a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro. For more details click the link below.

An Xserve Lift, an iTunes Shift and a Gift Card Grift
Most of Apple's core products have seen some sort of refresh since last September, and it appears there aren't a whole lot left to update any time soon. Most recently, Apple unleashed Intel's Nehalem processors in its Xserve server line, which doubled the performance ... so, that's cool, but definitely cool for a limited audience of professional business users. In a more consumer-oriented vein, the next-generation iPhone won't blow anyone away until probably June or so, and the Apple TV has been mostly ignored -- only Apple knows what kind of product timeline it's on.
