Mac, MS e Google a competir no mercado automóvel !
O problema de um carro da MS era o raio dos ecrãs azuis !!
(este tb ficou azul de rir)
Isso já não acontece com o Vista (acontecem outras coisas )
Estamos no gozo, mas com a quebra vertiginosa das vendas e acima de tudo de rentabilidade, as marcas vão-se ter de virar para os serviços para ganharem mais e se diferenciarem das outras, e a área das tecnologias de informação + entretenimento vão ser fortes. O Google com a BMW (Série 7), a MS com a Fiat (Blue & Me) e a Apple com ligação aos iPods em muitos carros... estão a dar os 1ºs passos do que se prevê uma pequena revolução na indústria automóvel ;)

A propósito da Microsoft / Apple na industria automóvel
If Windows were a car
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating, "If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they painted new lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought "CarNT," but then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but it would only run on five percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "general protect ion fault" warning light.
8. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
9. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the antenna.
10. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally Road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 percent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.
11. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
12. You'd have to press the "start" button to turn the engine off.
13. Five warning lights
The first warning light tells you that there is a new driver available for the CD player in your car stereo. You don't have to update the driver but it is highly recommended to maintain the optimal performance of your car stereo.
The second warning light tells you that there is an update available for your air bags. This is a critical update. If you do not install the update before you place the car in drive, you could risk serious injury.
The third warning light tells you that you haven't downloaded security updates for your door locks in over two weeks. Your car is no longer secure and you must install the updates, turn the car off and back on again to complete the updates.
The fourth warning light tells you that you haven't run a full diagnostic test for your car in over two weeks. It is recommended that you let the car run a full scan, which can take anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes, before you use the car.
And finally, the fifth warning light tells you that your subscription to the on-board computer's software that monitors your car has expired. You will need to provide a credit card number and agree to a $69 charge to monitor your car for another year. But don't worry, the $69 charge covers up to three cars in your garage.
So much for baking those cookies.

Segundo, não é a Apple Computer, é um utilizador do seu serviço de hospedamento de páginas pessoas (.mac ou mac.com), por isso é que tem esse nome no site...
