I have been reluctant to buy a new car for quite some time now - the fact that microsoft powers in-car computers scares the hell out of me. But fortunately, there's good news : I can now go out and buy a Mercedes. Apple will power Mercedes' in-car computers. Pfffhew !

A German Magazine is reporting that Apple and mercedes benz have signed a deal whereby Apple will design an in-car maintenance, communication and navigation system for inclusion in Mercedes Benz vehicles from 2009.()
