Sharp Corporation is preparing to release a new model of the Mebius Vino personal computer. Which wouldn't be such a big deal if the company hadn't positioned it as a "computer for women." I remember when, years ago, John Dvorak wrote in his column about the recently released iBook that the only thing the developers forgot was to put the Barbie logo on it, that it looked like a makeup bag and that when you opened it, “ you expect to find lipstick and blush inside. ” and eye shadow ,” the impressionable ladies from Salon Magazine naturally pecked at him. Despite the fact that the iBook really looks like a cosmetic bag, and the Barbie logo would come in handy. Apparently, something has changed in this world since then.
