Paris cracks down on unregistered Airbnb properties
Airbnb has a long history of legal struggles in various cities in which it operates. Now, according to a report in AFP, Paris has requested that Airbnb comply with new regulations to register with the city. If the company (along with four other competitors -- HomeAway, Paris Attitude, Sejourning and Windu) won't de-list apartments that owners haven't registered with the city, Paris plans to take them to court.
MSI Wind U210 with AMD Athlon Neo announced for Europe
We see what MSI is doing. First, they released a followup to the Intel-packin' X-Slim X600 with an otherwise-identical AMD-based machine called the X610. And now they're making the MSI Wind U200 available with an AMD processor as well. And what do you think they're calling it? the U210, of course. Starting at €399, the Wind U210-002 sports an Athlon Neo MV-40 1.6GHz processor with 1GB memory, 160GB HDD, and XP Home. The Wind U210-010 ups the ante a bit with 2GB memory, 250GB HDD, and Vista Home Premium, going for €449. We don't have the exact release date, but we're sure by then the company will have more laptops to shove an AMD processor into. [Thanks, Tom]
