I don't understand all the freaking out and arguing about Flash, and I especially don't understand people denouncing Apple for it. Beyond Postscript, we've seen this time and time again in tech. Flash would be on its way out with or without Steve Jo…

Free Android phone running Flash? Sounds more like punishment to me, but whatever.

I'm curious how that 6.8 million iPhones for the quarter compares to the number of Android-based phones sold in the same quarter. And no, it's not a fanboy-type interest where I want to see Android fail or whatever. I'm just interested in how strong…

Some of Roger L. Kay's previous work, predicting the coming of iPhone viruses and security issues that, thus far, have not arrived: http://www.businessweek.com/technolo...ge_top+stories Seems to have a bit of an anti-Apple axe to grind for a "…

As a long-time Mac user, I have to say it's interesting to watch this kind of thing happen. And it keep repeating. Dell isn't the first company with a lot of muscle in the tech market to fail when trying to match Apple. It has happened a lot with th…
