Asus Netbooks at $200-250 in June


Asustek Computers reportedly plans to launch 10-inch net books powered by Chrome or Android 3.0 OS and priced at $200-250 in June.

The Taiwan based computer manufacturer has entered into a tie up with Intel with an aim of shipping 6 million net books in 2011, reports DigiTimes, based on information sourced from Taiwanese component manufacturers.

The competitively ASUS priced net books will target office workers and content creators whom tablet computers have very little to offer despite their growing popularity. Sans a key, tablet computers are honed for media consumption and are essentially entertainment devices.

At $200-$250 the Asus net books will present a significant price advantage over tablet computers priced between $299 - $499, and could possibly lure many content consumers away from tablets.

Tablet computer shipments are expected to rise exponentially, from 17 million in 2010 to 44 million in 2011.

Asustek will also offer mid and high range net books priced at around $499 featuring sleeker design and cloud services.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
