Ms basically built their business by first bundling the office apps to kill their competition who sold standalone apps - then leveraging it with licensing of the WIN OS to bring everyone in line. Just as they've never bundled a full version of Outlo…

This doesn't mean much of anything - they admit SAmsung offered the best price meaning they looked around, I'm sure Apple offered a 10% discount but look, Samsung is offering their "flagship" phone after an hour on sale at 50% off (BUY ONE, GET ONE …

Nest is done. Google will fold into a Google Home brand within a year - Faddell will leave soon so whatever he promises won;t mean anything when he's gone and it's not named Nest anymore. Of course, Google will drive most of the employees away - aft…

It's not easy to reverse engineer a chip. It's clearly beyond the scope of Google and samsung who are furiously trying but they realize they will spending $2 billion dollars with no real payoff. They are hoping ARM does one in the nxt 5 years so the…

It would be very simple if SAMSUNG would actually report sales figures for business units like a real corporation. Calling them current gen smartphones/smartphones or whatever is not a real corporate goverance. REPORT SALES FIGURES or have the analy…

There is a world class OS with world class hardware called the iPhone which serves the high end of the market (plus the design/fashion portion). Same as the Mac on the personal computer side. What is Windows? Windows is the free OS you get …

Google is the new Microsoft. Let's buy companies and write down most of what we paid for it. Meanwhile, Apple buys small companies for a few hundred million to build BILLION dollar businesses from them. Google is a one trick pony company but a GREAT…

Anyone who trusts MS executives to know anything about technology is just plain dumb. This is a company who's CEO not only failed to understand the iphone but predicted it's failure ... the iphone in 6 years generates more revenue than the ENTIRE Mi…

As for the count, you could argue both ways. For a show I'm interested in - if an hour show lasted 7 seasons, that's @140 hours worth of viewing I'm mostly interested in - that's the same as about 70 movies since I'll be watching most of them but ju…

That the WIN PC market to consumers is split as such: 5% Diehard WIN PC fans or Apple contrarians who refuse to buy an Apple no matter how much better it is. (aka: Zune & Rio buyers). 95% whose WIN PC has so devalued the experience they ar…

The Android "High End" market consists of contrarians who a) ignore facts and cling to their beliefs that android is "open." (how's that NFC working out for you?) and b) by supporting Android, they are the "occupiers" of a higher calling ... and of …

This % is exactly how the ipad-tablet market will play out when all things are equal (aka: if all pricing is the same - why would you not choose 'the best?'). The only success Android has seen is in the cheap-free phone market where low budget buyer…

Solely as a business discussion and not in terms of human tragedy but it sure seems like Apple planned ahead and plotted out a scenario where if there were a disruption, they had plenty on hand stockpiled soemwhere. As a company who plans years a…

Google is ONLY interested in shoveling out as many android licesnses as possible to get the Google search bar out there - beyond that, they don't care, does it matter that every Android phoen has a different OS & OS face? Is the Google search ba…

I am on the phone 2-3 hours a day calling and talking - have no new issues - lots of the same dead spots and poor reception that hasn't really changed since iphone1 ... since the beginning of time, a cell phone bar things means pretty much nothing. …

First, there are no more than 10 devices in the entire HISTORY of consumer electronics that have sold 100 million - the ipod being one but more importantly, for most companies, it's like being a movie star but once that period is passed, most of the…

Cover Flow look and feel but definitely not invented, inspired or whatever by this Apple company - all in house, most definitely in house invented by MS ... just like a portable Mp3 player 10 years later ... just like WIN7 is 10 years after Mac OS7 …

This just shows that when there's a competitor, Adobe is awake pumping out not just an app but updating it for SL & 64 while with Photoshop, what's that? Every upgrade is 2 years behind an OS release and or not upgradeable - just wait for the ne…

MS is a fine enterprise, OS & server company ... they have lost $50 billion in every venture since 1998? And yet shareholders don't have a problem with YET another new division that, "won't necessarily recoup its investment through actual sales.…
