Daily News… GOOGLE CHALLENGES APPLE WITH HIGH-END LAPTOP Google on Thursday unveiled a touch-screen notebook computer designed for high-end users, throwing down a gauntlet for Apple and its MacBooks. Google said its Chromebook Pixel computers blending tablet and laptop technology, boasting heavyweight Intel chips and screens tailored for rich graphics, were released in the United States and Britain, starting at $1,299. «People will give up a MacBook Air for this,» Google Chrome senior vice president Sundar Pichai said while showing off the premium end of what, to now, were low-priced notebook computers that serve as windows to Internet-based services. A Pixel model featuring built-in connectivity to the Verizon mobile Internet service will hit the market in April at a price of $1,449, according to Google. The version available Thursday allowed connections to the Internet with wireless hot-spot technology or cables. «It’s a great looking product,» Om Malik of technology news website GigaOm said at the Pixel debut in San Francisco. «But Google is facing a selling problem, they have to compete on price originally and build a developer base for a high-end product.» Google hoped people look beyond comparing Pixel prices with competitors such as MacBooks or laptops built on Windows 8 software to see the value the touch-screen and the massive terabyte of Google Drive online data storage included. «It is clear that touch is here to stay and that it is the future,» Pichai said. «I am sure every laptop will have touch in the future.» He described the Pixel screen resolution as superior to that on any laptop being shipped today, including Apple’s premium MacBook models. Google also set out to remedy a complaint by Chrome notebook users frustrated when trying to work with documents or spreadsheets made with Microsoft’s widely used Word or Excel software.

International News… RAUL CASTRO JOKES ABOUT RETIRING President Raul Castro jokingly said he is going to retire, noting that he is nearly 82 and has the right to stop working like anyone else. Castro made the comments as Cuba’s congress is almost certain to elect him to another term. «I am going to resign. I am about to turn 82. I have the right to retire. Don’t you believe me?», Castro said with a smile. He spoke after accompanying Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to the old Soviet cemetery near Havana. Medvedev also had a «brotherly» meeting with aging revolutionary icon Fidel Castro.
GOLD GIFTS MYSTIFY JAPAN CITY A Japanese city devastated by the 2011 tsunami disaster remains mystified more than two weeks after receiving anonymous gifts of gold bars worth over $300,000. A fish market in Ishinomaki received a parcel containing gold bars weighing a total of two kilograms in early February, about a month ahead of the disaster’s second anniversary on March 11. Kunio Sunow, president of the Ishinomaki Fish Market which was destroyed in the disaster, said he casually opened the mystery parcel addressed to him. «I was stunned because... in there was 24-carat gold in two plates».
