Swansea City UPDATE 1600: Swansea City have rejected a bid of �6.2 million from Manchester City for Scott Sinclair, BBC Sport Wales understands. Earlier reports suggested Swansea had accepted a bid from City, but chairman Huw Jenkins said on Monday that a deal had not been reached. Jenkins hit out at Manchester City for the way they handled their pursuit of Scott Sinclair. Jenkins was unhappy at how long the deal has dragged. Sinclair has told the club he will not sign a new contract. Meanwhile City are expected to step up their pursuit of Middlesbrough striker Marvin Emnes this week, and are confident of signing him for �5 million. Sky Sports understands Middlesbrough would like Stephen Dobbie included in any deal that could take Emnes to Swansea. While Boro would ideally not like to lose Emnes they are contemplating his sale, as it would allow Mowbray to further add to his squad. Meanwhile Michael Laudrup said he is happy to wait for long-serving defender Garry Monk to decide on whether he wants to leave Swansea City before the transfer window closes. Laudrup told the South Wales Evening Post: "As I have said to him and generally to the other players, this is the last week where everybody can think about themselves and take some decisions for their futures." Wycombe Wanderers The Wanderers have signed free agent Jo Kuffour on a short-term deal, BBC Sport reports. The player left Gillingham at the end of the 2011-12 season. Walsall Walsall have completed the signing of free agent Andy Taylor on a non-contract basis, BBC Sport reports. The 26-year-old defender, who began his career at Blackburn Rovers, was released by Sheffield United earlier this summer. Torquay United Karl Baker has signed a short-term deal with United following a trial, BBC Sport reports. The 22-year-old winger was previously a youth player at the club. Torquay United boss Martin Ling is keen to reinforce squad with defensive cover. Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur have launched bids or inquiries for around �80 million worth of playing talent, according to the Daily Telegraph, following Luka Modric's �33 million departure to Real Madrid. The club have submitted a bid to sign 22-year-old France midfielder Yann M'Vila from Rennes, BBC Sport reported yesterday. It is understood Spurs have proposed a fee of �12.7m with add-ons, although Rennes want an unconditional �15m. According to The Times, Tottenham also hope to complete the triple signing of Moussa Dembele, 25, from Fulham, Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, 25, and Shakhtar Donetsk striker Willian, 24. Lloris has been linked with a move to Tottenham for much of the summer, with Lyon reportedly demanding €15 million (�11.9m) for the France international. Queens Park Rangers UPDATE 1600: Sky Sports sources understand Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar has arrived at Loftus Road to hold talks over a move to Queens Park Rangers. The Brazilian goalkeeper is set to sign with QPR, in a move which will see him replace Rob Green. The Daily Mail reported yesterday that 32-year-old Cesar was in London on Monday, and is expected to complete a transfer for an undisclosed fee. The Inter Milan keeper had two years left on his contract. According to the Mail, the signing is expected to be confirmed on Wednesday. In other news, QPR midfielder Joey Barton has announced on Twitter his reported move to Marseille has fallen through. He wrote on the social networking site: "Doesn't look like this Marseille thing is gonna happen now. 'Whatever doesn't kill you make you stronger' #heartbroken". The 29-year-old midfielder is currently without a squad number at Loftus Road having been served with a 12-match Football Association suspension following his sending off at Manchester City last season. He will now return to training with Rangers. The player tweeted:"Been forced to go back training with the kids and fellow Taliban members at 2pm today..." West Ham Both West Ham and Bolton have bid for Charlton Athletic defender Chris Solly, Sky Sports reports. A number of clubs have been linked with Solly, and the player has been on West Ham's radar for some time. In other news, a return to West Ham could be on the cards for Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole. talkSPORT understands a formal offer is being prepared by Hammers' chiefs, and then the decision will rest with Cole. The radio station reported yesterday that Cole is believed to be among the players at Liverpool who have been told they can leave the club and West Ham, who brought the 30-year-old through their academy, have agreed a deal in principle for him to make a sensational return to Upton Park. Liverpool Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is preparing to make a last-minute swoop for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge, according to the Mirror. The newspaper reported yesterday that Rodgers is ready to sell Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing this week to raise the funds to continue his rebuilding plans, and Sturridge is at the top of his hit-list. The Mirror says Chelsea are aware of Liverpool's interest, although a bid has yet to come in. The newspaper says the club may be reluctant to sell if it leaves them short of attacking options. Aston Villa Belgian international striker Christian Benteke has emerged as a leading target for Villa, according to the Birmingham Mail. Paul Lambert is believed to be pursuing a deal for the 21-year-old, who plays for Belgian club Genk. Fulham Sunderland winger Kieran Richardson is Fulham's latest target, according to The Sun. The club is understood to be weighing up a �2million bid for him. Southampton Uruguayan winger Gaston Ramirez is set to join Southampton on a record �11 million deal. According to the Mirror Ramirez, 21, has penned a five-year contract worth around �45,000 a week, just days after the move appeared to have collapsed. Manchester City UPDATE 1640: The agent of Manchester City striker John Guidetti claims talks regarding a possible contract extension for his client are ongoing. Sky Sports revealed last week that the frontman was to be offered a new long-term deal at the Etihad Stadium. City are keen to agree fresh terms with the player amid mounting interest in his services. Meanwhile City boss Roberto Mancini could be set to swoop for Benfica midfielder Javi Garcia, according to the Mirror. The newspaper yesterday reported that Mancini sent one of his trusted lieutenants, coach Fausto Salsano, to watch the former Real Madrid player in action on Sunday. The midfielder has a �25 million buy-out clause. Everton Everton have made an enquiry for Dundee United's forward Johnny Russell, Sky Sports understands. The club is believed to be interested in the 22-year-old, who was called into the Scotland squad for the end-of-season friendly against the USA in May. Bolton Sky Sports understands Bolton are one of five clubs chasing Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing. Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, Southampton and Wolves are all keeping tabs on the player's situation at Anfield. Spearing has been pushed down the pecking order at Anfield this season, and was not included in Liverpool's 18-man squad for last weekend's game with Manchester City. Bolton are thought to be leading the race for Spearing, who is expected to make a decision on his long-term future before the close of the transfer window.

The nine states that will decide whether Romney or Obama wins in November

The 2012 presidential election won't be decided in the nation's biggest states, it will be decided in a patchwork of nine swing states stretching from New England to the Southwest. Those nine states and their 115 electoral votes -- all won by President Barack Obama in 2008 -- hold the key to the White House for Obama and his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney.

New Reality: No One Wants A Cheap PC Anymore

For years, Windows PC makers won customers by selling low-priced systems that were good enough for most computing needs. That business model no longer works, and finding a new one is going to be painful.

That suffering has already begun. This week, Hewlett-Packard and Dell cut this year?s profit forecasts, partly due to low PC demand. Acer, the world?s third largest PC maker, has also lowered its sales expectations for the rest of the year.

Very little is expected to change when Windows 8 PCs hit the market in the fall. Even the most important upgrade in years to Microsoft?s nearly 30-year-old operating system has failed to excite people who in the past would have been heading to retailers in droves to buy the latest PCs during the holiday shopping season. IDC projects less than a 1% increase in PC sales this year. ?That?s a pretty weak performance, even compared with the 2011 anemic growth of 1.7%,? IDC researcher David Daoud said.

The Industry?s Pain

What?s hurting PC makers is dramatic change led by Apple. In 2008, the Mac maker introduced the highly successful MacBook Air, which set new standards for laptop portability. With Windows 8, PC makers have the OS they need to compete on features. What they don?t have are the cheap components to lure customers with a much lower price.

To compete with the Air, PC makers' ultrabooks will need the same expensive items that make the systems roughly three quarters of an inch thick and less than three pounds. Add a high-definition display or touch screen and the licensing fees for Windows and you have a price tag of around $1,000. While for Apple customers that would seem reasonable, for PC buyers, that?s out of the ballpark. Windows 7 laptops started at less than $300.

?We are likely going to see a reduced gap between the price of PCs and Mac products,? Daoud said.

And prices are not expected to drop soon. Because of high demand, the cost of the more expensive components is projected to go down slowly. ?There?s nothing happening right now that?s going to cause the cost to drop drastically,? Kevin Keller, analyst for iSuppli, said.

Other Options

Of course, ultrabooks won?t be the only option. People could turn to larger laptops, but they will seem ancient by comparison. As a result, many people may decide to leave the laptop world for good in favor of tablets, another market Apple started and dominates.

Again, PC makers won?t have any price advantage in competing with the iPad. Apple has set the standard for touch screen quality and performance and matching those will cost money. It?s unlikely, the lowest priced Windows 8 tablet, which will run on an ARM processor, will be much less than the lowest priced iPad at $499.

IDC estimates that the materials alone to build the cheapest Windows 8 tablet will cost $300. When you add manufacturing, marketing and sales costs, ?a $400 unsubsidized Windows 8 on ARM (tablet) is probably the low end of the range,? Daoud said.

Change Is Here

Change in the hardware people use for everyday computing was inevitable, given advancements in technology that made components thinner, lighter and more powerful. As a seller of premium-priced products, Apple could afford to use those components early, setting the bar for the rest of the industry.

To compete, PC makers will have to replace their pitch from being good enough at a lower price to as good or better for the same price.
