I have a PhD in computer engineering, and now surround myself with computers, and I will be the first to say that computers DO NOT belong in elementary school classrooms. Kids don't learn "valuable computer skills" in the classroom, especially in…

This might be the most confusing and useless article ive read in a while. The article tries to imply that samsung gets better subsidies than their competitors, but the truth is that apples phones are subsidized far more than their competitors. The…

If anything, this editorial simply reiterates why investors are afriad of apple despite record profits. Apples current position was created by making knock ou of the park products; products that were so awesome the competition just didnt really exi…
