On August 2, 2007, an individual named David W. Liu filed to protect the trademark Google PC. There are several men named David Liu that Mork found in his research. One is an investment banker. One is CEO of TheKnot.com. Another is Sr. VP of AOL Portals. But a Spoke profile identifies a David Liu as Legal Council for Google, Inc.
Another interesting thing: a Google Maps Street View search for the address listed in the filing — 6363 Wiltshire Blvd in Los Angeles — shows a small 5-story building with two trees in front of it. If you move the camera in front of the building and zoom in, the word “Google” appears (real or Photoshopped?) in the bottom floor window of the building.
Its been a long while since there have been any substantial rumors about the Google PC, so Mork thought it was worth mentioning this latest discovery.
I wonder if this for the 700 mhz maybe a Desktop for anyone who can pay 100$ or something like that? What do you think?
In a break from Dell’s traditional mail order biz, an agreement reached today with the Staples retail chain will bring Dell brand notebooks, desktops, monitors, printers, and ink to over 1400 Staples stores across the U.S. Initially Staples will carry Inspiron 1721 and 1521 notebooks, Inspiron 530 desktops, 948 and 926 All-in-one printers, the 1320c laser printer, the Dell SE198WFP 19-inch LCD, E228WFP 22-inch LCD, and most types of Dell brand ink and toner with more products to be added over time. A similar agreement was signed with Wal-Mart earlier this year, making this the second time Dell has partnered with a major US retailer and the first time it has scored a 3-way.[Staples via i4u]
