It looks like Windows 10 did successfully stop the bleeding for PCs. Windows 8 was so bad that enterprises and consumers refused to upgrade. Because they are STILL trying to tie their mobile strategy to their desktop OS, Windows 10 isn't as good in …

It is clear that Google is guilty here, as others took out licensing agreements with Sun Microsystems, and Google themselves negotiated licensing agreements but they fell through. And Google is no longer going with their original argument, which is …

Basically this story has almost nothing to do with Apple. Kind of sad to see Avalanche go though. But it happens ... small but successful outfit gets bought out by a bigger company to serve a different purpose, and when the new purpose either fails …

First off, Marco's own post is spin. He indulges in the usual tactic of "responding" to points that no one made or disputed in the first place and passing off selective criticism as analysis. Marco represents someone who isn't trying to monetize his…
