Apple fell 18%, AMD nearly 17%, and Intel over 10%. Similarly, Google saw its stock fall over $50 to $381 a share. That’s nearly a 12% drop.
Asus, MSI caught advertising with already used stock images
While we have all come to expect that majority of these ultra-portable notebooks are very similar not only feature wise, but also in the way they look on the outside.

O2, Carphone Warehouse still have iPhone’s in stock after all
Now is the time to stop wetting your pants, Apple fanboys. Like the boy who cried wolf, it seems our earlier report pertaining to Carphone Warehouse and O2’s lack of iPhone stock in the UK was a mere case of misinformation. Apparently, O2 was just “in the process of replenishing 16GB iPhone stocks,” while Carphone Warehouse is “reviewing the stock situation for 16GB iPhones sold through its website, but added that its stores now have them in stock.” Stocks of the 8GB model are also being considered, although just putting more 16GB iPhones would definitely be a no-brainer. With great demand for the iPhone all across the world right now, what kind of handset retailer would you have to be to not offer the consumers what they want? We’re not sure what exactly, but one thing we know is that O2 and Carphone Warehouse are definitely not like that.
