I'd agree with the assessment of the S4. There's plenty of Android phones I'd rather have, the HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro, Lenovo K900. But the S4 will probably sell lots because Samsung has the marketing budget and every retailer in their back p…

Another thing to keep in mind is that many of these PCs are actually decent devices, it's simply Windows and all the crap that comes with free Windows installs that sucks. I've got a ThinkPad, I wiped Windows and installed Ubuntu Linux, ru…

Apple is a leader, yes. I have no doubt they will be a great company for years to come. But as an investor/trader, I see myself making alot more money in many other stocks. One of my holdings was up 10% on Friday alone...

R and RStudio work on OSX, don't they? http://www.rstudio.com/ide/ RStudio has a web version too. And the Julia Language is an interesting project, though not very mature yet...

If you don't understand why Apple is down, then you shouldn't be in the stock market. Valuations matter, growth matters, dividends matter, etc... Last quarter's profits - don't matter. Stock markets look ahead, not behind. And stoc…

Another reason I try to avoid Samsung products. I'd rather buy Intel, Lenovo, HTC, Panasonic, Electrolux, etc...

Would also like to add, I'd consider buying a developer device if the price is right. If I can buy one for 100-200 bucks outright, I'd give it a shot.

This is stupid. This situation came up today, and made me think of this. If I'm on Google's search engine (at www.google.com), and I search for 'Books', and I don't live under a rock, I'll expect Google to take me to their 'Books' service…

I think it's the future, but that the HTML5 ecosystem isn't 100% mature. Chrome OS has laid a great foundation, especially with Google's NaCl runtime (can run native compiled apps in browser). Firefox OS doesn't have that native runtime, …
