NEWS THIS WEEK'S TOP STORIES

Dell Steps Up Consumer Pursuit

In a bid to recoup share and revive revenue, the computer maker will introduce a new line of PCs and sell through retailers other than Wal-Mart

Inside: This Week in Technology

Hi Tech Watchers,

Talk to the tech workers who lost their jobs after the bubble burst and many will complain there are not enough high tech jobs to go around. Google, however, tells a different story—and it's telling it to congress. Read about what Google says is really going on with high tech jobs in Peter Elstrom's piece "Immigration: Google Makes Its Case." Also, if you got to get a Dell, dude, you will soon be able to buy it when your offline and outside of Wal-Mart. To find out where Dell is planning to sell its computers, check out the Teach Lede story by Jennifer Schenker. Also, Arik Hesseldahl takes you through just how much an Apple TV costs to make in tech innovation and tech investing delves into some of those Netflix/Amazon rumors. Read on.
