Google certainly has its sights set on the notebook market. It has targeted the high-end niche with its latest notebook, the Chromebook Pixel. The company will also be releasing cheap, Intel Atom and Android OS powered notebooks that are expected to carry price tags as low as $200. In Google’s bid to dominate the notebook market, its partners are also playing a major role. According to supply chain sources, Asus and Acer both are planning new Chromebooks that will be released later this year.

Details about Asus Chromebook are vague right now, it is expected to make its debut in either the third or fourth quarter of 2013. As far as Acer’s Chromebook is concerned, it is said to have a 11.6 inch screen and expected to go on sale in July. No further details about these Chromebooks are available as yet, but they are supposedly going to be mid-range devices with price tags substantially less than the Chromebook Pixel. Even Lenovo and HP are rumored to be pondering over the idea of entering the Chromebook market, with so much support from its partners, Google can really focus on making the software side of things amazing so as to establish a respectable footing in the notebook market.

Today is a very special day for some of us, where it could be a wedding anniversary, the day the love of your life proposed to you, or it could even be a bitter experience where a loved one passed away. Of course, on the tech front, in April 30 two decades ago, CERN opened up the World Wide Web to the masses on a royalty-free basis. In order to commemorate this 20th anniversary of a milestone in the life of the Internet, CERN has taken the step to restore the very first website.

CERN claims that this particular move will help “preserve the digital assets that are associated with the birth of the Web”, and as if to push forward their main point, CERN intends to have that particular Web address, info.cern.ch, to be “a destination that reflects the story of the beginnings of the web for the benefit of future generations.” Oh and by the way, CERN stands for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which is actually an international organization which operates the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.

Before the internet, students and academics had to visit the library to research information. In order to keep up with the times, libraries have since introduced computers and made them internet ready, allowing those without internet at home to drop by and search for information. However it seems that according to several reports, rural libraries in China have slowly become home to internet gamers who have taken advantage of the library’s internet and computers to play video games. It seems that this is a problem that has extended to public computers in universities in China as well.

Considering that internet cafes is a pretty big thing in China, especially with reports of how some gamers have spent hours playing games non-stop, with some even “living” there, we can’t say we’re too surprised. Interestingly when reporters of Jinshi News paid a visit to the Nanchong Institute of Technology in Sichuan, they found that universities have even started to charge students about 0.12 cents an hour to use the computers and to play video games! Yikes!

Not only that, those who love lifestyle programs will also be pleased to know that Fashion Recipe, Cinema & Spice and Grill Girls will soon make their debut online as well sometime later in the year.

Not only that, Yahoo has also inked a deal with the WWE in order to roll out an online wrestling hub from this summer onwards, where this hub will comprise of clips, a 30-minute Monday Night Raw pre-show, a couple of original weekly shows with 50 episodes each year, an archive that is full of historic matches, among others. Not only that, folks in Sunnyvale are also tipped to gain the capability of streaming video content from Conde Nast Entertainment. Summer’s going to be full of entertainment, again! [Press Release]

Acer has just announced a spanking new notebook for the masses, where it comes with a rather tiny display, although it will not break the bank – which is a good thing, of course. The notebook’s name? It is known as the Acer Aspire V5-122, where it will run on the Windows 8 operating system alongside a processor from Intel’s once-mighty but now seemingly vanquished rival, AMD. The AMD Temash processor should be able to get the job done for most of your basic and daily tasks, where it features an 11.6” display at 1366 x 768 resolution, with a starting price point of a mere $450, clearly making this one of the most affordable touchscreen notebooks in the market at the moment if you do not need an “Intel Inside” sticker, of course.

Other hardware specifications in the Acer Aspire V5-122 include a Radeon HD 8280 graphics chipset, 2GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, VGA, HDMI, USB 3.0, and gigabit Ethernet. The 3-cell battery underneath the hood would bring the entire notebook’s weight to approximately 3.3 pounds, leaving us rather curious as to whether there are any backers for this puppy or not.
