If you could install Linux on it, this would be a really (I mean _really_) tempting laptop substitution. But being limited to only this special version of Windows, and with few apps, I don't find a real use here. By not opening it to Linux, Microso…

Rumors and leaked images are driving Apple into an scenario where they cannot surprise the audience any longer. We knew how the iPhone5 was before it was released. Chances are that we already know everything about the "iPad mini" (maybe even its n…

Any idea on whether Xcode 4.5 will be released today too?
