Amazon is the real threat to Apple, not Samesung or Google. Sammy and G don't have everybody's credit card numbers - Amazon does. Google's hardware (via Motorola) is perpetually D.O.A., while Sammy doesn't get software and will be forever dependen…

Folks are missing the real reason why Intel is making this move: because Samsung is getting really, really big and walking off with the entire mobile chip business. As their volumes increase and the chips become ever more sophisticated, they're bec…

Samesung is screwed if this thing comes out. They're already selling an inferior good, so they won't hold any advantage over Amazon in consumers' minds. How can they hope to compete with free? I'm assuming the phone will be free and Amazon will …

I live in the city. I walk past that fountain pretty much every day, going to and/or coming from work. And I usually hit Union Square on the weekends. It's a freaking eyesore, and the plaza it's in is a dark, barren, windswept pit even the…

Would somebody please explain to me why Apple needs to increase its share of the market of "people who have no money"? That seems like a really crappy market to be in, frankly. Back in the days of the home computer wars, Apple wisely s…

Samsung nixes plans for Windows RT tablets in US, citing 'modest' demand Wow! Really? I'm...I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you. I thought consumers would go wild for a Windows device that can't run Windows software. Who could have pos…

Well, now we know what impact Windows 8 had on the PC market when it came out in the 4th quarter. It killed it. Microsoft is starting to enter a RIM-like death spiral. They're huge compared to RIM - and more diversified with their Office a…

This move from Google has nothing to do with wanting to compete with Samesung. They don't. Problem is, Google is going to need to compete with Amazon, and Samdung doesn't have any ecosystem to facilitate that. Just look at how Amazon is crushin…

Black Friday sales of Windows notebooks down 10% Microsoft is doomed.

Of course it's serviceable - you take it to the Genius Bar and they either fix it for you or give you a new one. I'm too old, too busy and make too much money to waste my time effing with a busted PC. I have people to do that. I'd no more …

That's Microsoft. Always finding innovative new ways to FAIL.

In related news, exactly no Microsoft Surface tablets have been stolen since the device was released. Microsoft is reported to be considering offering would-be thieves a free Microsoft Zune and a free Microsoft Kin in exchange for stealing a Micr…

If anyone was still wondering whether Win 8 was a disaster or not, here's your answer: disaster.

I'm assuming that Apple's design boffins figured - incorrectly, as it turns out - that the design was public domain. Whoopsie! That having been said, $21 million is probably cheap compared to the litigation costs if this thing had gone to t…

And now we know why Apple priced the Mini the way they did - they're going to sell every single unit they can manufacture between now and Christmas. Sure, they could have accepted slightly lower margins and sold this thing for $299, but wh…

The reason why Apple priced the Mini so high isn't because they're greedy or because they're trying to maintain high margins. It's because they flat out won't be able to make enough of the damn things between now and Christmas to come anywhe…
