Networks have too much control over handsets. There needs to be separation. I think I should be able to use a phone on any network I like, provided the phone's features are supported technically. Imagine if ISPs starting dictating the brand of compu…

All that will happen is that OEMs will just install the IE disc / image and everything will be identical to previous versions. Most users will not know any different, and those that do will use IE to download Firefox / Safari / Chrome. This is a win…

So neither Apple nor Palm, who have produced arguably the two most-desirable handsets on the market, could agree to an exclusivity deal with the best network in the USA. What gives? Is Verizon demanding a massive cut of the profits? How come neither…

Quote: The free Fake Watch application did enable users to obtain the time using their iPhone or iPod touch, a direct blow to Cartier's fancy watch business. Er... what? Do they really think people will strap iPhones to their wrists instead of a…

Since new versions of Windows, OS X, iPhone and presumably the Pre are coming in 2009, it will be interesting to see where these stats are at the end of the year. Will MS claw back its market share? Will the Pre make an impact?

So basically Microsoft is where it should have been two years ago. Apple's main advantage with SL will be performance. Grand Central, OpenCL and a full 64-bit OS will fly once applications have been released to support these features. Apple w…

Quote: If Microsoft is able to release a touch-based Zune by the end of this year using either the same technology it showed off for Windows Mobile 6.5 or a simultaneously created alternative, it will remain no more than two years behind Apple T…

Is 802.11n an official spec yet?

If this is what Vista should have been, they should offer it at a rock-bottom upgrade price (maybe even free?) to Vista users. My grandad's problems ended the day he downgraded to XP, but XP's age means that it is lacking many things you would ex…

I don't think an operating system should bet on obscurity as a method of security. But neither should Apple adopt the Vista approach of popping up a dialog box to confirm absolutely EVERY task the user wants to perform. I think Apple currently ha…

It seems a rather elaborate approach to a simple problem. Drivers know they should not fiddle with electronic devices while driving - if they don't know this, they should not be on the road. I was hoping there would be a new idea for using the de…

People of course jumped on the "Mac is the most insecure platform" bandwagon but the security of Mac OS X was not discredited in this contest. The security of Safari was discredited. The user needed to click a link in Safari in order to execute the …
