The market dynamics of Servers is vastly different since as others have stated. It's becoming more and more 'commoditized' with OS's running in a virtualized layer. Apple's xServe brought no competitive advantages and being tied to...

Adobe is good at cranking out new versions, of existing products, with 'brutal efficiency'. Apple's recent software efforts have been lagging, in my opinion, so bringing in a guy with software experience makes some sense. Apple REALLY...

These lawsuits are similar to the one Apple waged against Microsoft over the Macintosh's look and feel. Microsoft eventually prevailed just as I predict Samsung will. The courts generally consider harm done to Consumers and not whether a...

While I think Woz's comment was a bit over the top, he is perfectly free to speak his mind. People can either take it or leave it. Fusion IO, where he's the chief scientist, builds solid state storage that sit directly on the PCIe bus....

Windows 8 is critical to M$'s tablet strategy in that it's the first (and only) version of Windows with a multitouch interface. I predict most IT shops will stick with Windows 7 for their PC's while consumers will use whatever came...
