These Ivy Bridge Intel chipsets are having USB issues on PCs as well. I have a new motherboard with an Ivy Bridge chip, and the USB has been flaky since day one. Forums are full of complaints. I think it'll take motherboard manufacturers and OS …

Death. Spiral. It'll be interesting to see who goes tits up first - Nokia or RIM... I'm betting on Nokia. RIM at least has their service business to bring in some revenue - their message network. Nokia's got nothing much apart from …

Microsoft already released tablets that ran their desktop OS. They sucked and failed miserably in the marketplace. What makes anybody in their right mind think it'll work this time around after having failed over and over and over again in the p…

At last, what the world has been waiting for: the Blue Screen of Death from a tablet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple releases a 7" tablet...and brands it as an iPod Touch, not as an iPad. That would instantly devalue all of the 7" iPad competitors in the market.

IBM might buy them, for the network and not the hardware (which let's face it, is worthless).

Maybe they'll move to hybrid drives as standard equipment. 64GB of flash, another half TB of physical drive space. Or, given their relationship with flash manufacturers, maybe Apple will incorporate 64 or even 128GB of flash on the motherb…

Dell's the next to go down the drain. I give it about another year before people start to realize they're equally doomed. Like RIM, their business model is totally outdated. They're being crushed by Apple from above in the consumer PC business, …

Dell was the king of the mailorder clonemakers, and benefited from *not* having a retail presence back when computers cost around $2,000. Shipping was fairly cheap, and you didn't have to pay 5-10% sales tax, which added another $100-$200 to the …

OK, so I ran the math for a few display sizes and resolutions, based on the 3438 x 1/n = formula posted above. The current 27" iMac already looks to be a retina display, at a viewing distance of only 2.6 feet at least, which seems pretty rea…

The current 27" iMac runs at double 720p HD resolution (known as WQHD - Wide Quad High Definition, 2560x1440 - quad because there are 4 times as many pixels as 720p HD). I'm guessing the new iMac might be larger (possibly 32"), and will run …
