The Surface RT tablet seems to have a problematic start. Taiwanese tech site DigiTimes heard from sources in the upstream supply chain that Microsoft's tablet is selling less well than hoped, resulting in Microsoft cutting orders by half to two million units. Originally, Microsoft anticipated four million Surface RT devices would ship by the end of 2012. The software giant can entice consumers with lower pricing, but such a move will likely further alienate the software giant's relationship with its notebook partners.

Chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices said that the first prototypes of products based on code-named Temash ultra low-power accelerated processing units will be demonstrated around the consumer electronics show next year. Most likely, the demonstrations will be private and made only for partners as the chip will probably be officially launched later in the year.

It says something about a company that its internal marketing materials are just as polished and every bit as aspirational as the ones that it looses upon the rest of the world, like this internal Apple Store promo video, produced by Washington Square Films. Partly that its internal belief structure matches the one that it projects outward, and that it needs every piece of the organization to share those beliefs. And partly that the promotional machine within Apple is one of its most powerful organs (in case you had, uh, doubts about that). 

In this 2010 video, Apple's former retail chief, Ron Johnson, earnestly describes the way in which Apple — a truly global corporation, and the biggest company in the world by market cap — fits into local cityscapes with its "significant stores" and how Apple Stores "can actually improve communities." Local, local, local is the mantra. He talks about Apple Stores the same way that Apple talks about the rest of its products, at one point remarking that "this store can be transformational to [a customer's] life." It's almost hard to believe that he's talking about where you go to buy an iPad mini or get your iPhone fixed.
