Seems to me only a matter of time now before MS buys out Nokia and uses that acquisition to leverage its hardware manufacturing ability. They've seen the success of Apple and, although it's taken a long time, they've worked out that doing the soft…

Just watched the promo video at http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en/us/default.aspx - looks like something dreamt up by the director for Lady Gaga's Allejandro video...

I wonder if it's possible to install a decent operating system on it... You know, like OS X, albeit a bit 'hackintoshy' and rather naughty in doing so...

It looks positively uncomfortable to hold, especially if that kickstand starts flapping about. There was a reason why Apple ditched the angular edges of the iPad1 for the gently curved bevelling of the '2 and '3. My new iPad is so much nicer…

As for the design of the tablet itself, it really looks like a rather nasty 1980s throw-back. Remember the original ugly blocky MS Mouse? I think that's where they got their design cues from. Even allowing for the shortcomings this th…

Can you imagine how slow (and hot) it's going to run once it's loaded up with all the necessary Windows crud that you need to stay safe, like resource hogging anti-virus, firewalls, etc. And, what was that? No cellular connectivity? Only Wif…

I don't understand why people are complaining... it's not like anyone with an existing iPhone or iPad is going to have *pay* for the iOS6 upgrade, so your right to whinge about not having a feature that's free is severely curtailed.

The way I read the patent description is Entity A logs onto website and requests of Entity B (who runs the website) some software to meet his unique specification and Entity B automatically delivers such software. Since the iOS developer web…

Isn't it possible that seeing dozens of LCD screens and other equipment with duck tape over logos (including the backs of screens, which typically for Samsung have large moulded logos) only draw even more attention to the jurors of the issue of wh…

Apple are doing what Apple needs to do in order to stay competitive. It's not their job to save the world. If coal is to be made 'bad' for the production of industry the Greenpeace should get laws passed, not try to pass the buck. Essentially that m…

It's worth mentioning that this article comes from the Daily Mail, a tabloid newspaper who's very reason for being is to provoke outrage, no matter what the facts of a case really are. As a UK resident, it doesn't bother me one iota if Apple has …

Actually, I don't think this claim is entirely without merit. A clean plate-glass window that has no visible frame and goes from ground to ceiling is, essentially, invisible. I've walked into such things before, albeit with no after effects beyon…

By the looks of it, that will barely dent the cash pile, if future profits are taken into consideration! I guess there is such a thing as an embarrassment of riches!

I think the world is plenty big enough to accommodate a lot of manufacturers, and it's usually a bad thing if one manufacturer gains monopolistic dominance because it drives out the competitive struggle, at which point the one remaining player loses…

It's profoundly depressing that people would seek to argue or be abusive to each other over what did or didn't happen in the last days of an amazing man's life. I'm not sure about much in life, but of this I'm certain: Steve Jobs would not have b…
