MSI is best known for its line of motherboards and Wind netbook series, but as 2010 marches on, the company plans to more than triple its all-in-one PC shipments compared to last year, says Shao-ling Lin, president of system unit sales at MSI. More specifically, MSI plans to ship at least 600,000 all-in-one PCs, and up to 1 million if all goes right. The company is already the most active all-in-one PC vendor in Taiwan and ranks No. 6 globally. If MSI reaches its shipment goal, however, it will leapfrog ahead of Acer to become the fifth largest all-in-one PC vendor. The other top four vendors include, in order, Apple, HP, Sony, and NEC. MSI also has big plans for its desktop shipments. According to Shao-ling Lin, the company expects to increase its desktop shipments from 400,000 in 2009 to at least 1 million units in 2010, positioning the company as a global top 10 desktop vendor in the process.

Bush and Dana Carvey as George Bush Sr. is making the rounds on the Internet. The original clip has attracted almost three million views . This new outtake clip is an extended conversation (two minutes and 35 seconds compared to just a few seconds in the original version) with Ferrell and Carvey riffing off of one another in their roles. Some father and son issues start to bubble up (pardon the pun) and things get a little weird.

Bush, Carvey as Bush Sr., Fred Armisen as Barack Obama, Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton, Dan Akroyd as Jimmy Carter, Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford and surprisingly, Jim Carrey as Ronald Reagan. It also features Maya Rudolph as a weight-lifting Michelle Obama. The video directed viewers’ attention to financial aid reform organization Main Street Brigade . We’ve embedded the new Carvey and Ferrell outtake below, along with the original video and two other outtake videos.
