Ironically, any likely future hardware releases of the sort Intel is talking about most assuredly will not run "an OS that people have come to love over the years", in that Windows 8 is a pretty sharp break with the past. Particularly for devices t…

Stop hijacking the goddamn thread with your FUD bullshit. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS YOUR ENTIRELY UNSUBSTANTIATED THEORY THAT APPLE IS SUBVERTING WEB STANDARDS, START YOUR OWN THREAD.

Like others I'm left to wonder if this kind of public announcement doesn't signal something Intel knows that we don't. Otherwise, why go out of your way to piss off a customer? What's happened is this: Apple goes Intel, Intel praises Apple and …

Just in general, I wonder why rival keep being tempted to call out the iPhone for things that we pretty much know aren't issues? We've had the Droid "porcelain princess" ads, that were incoherent and a bit scary, apparently trading on at least so…

So Nokia is pretty much going on record as claiming their phone will never drop calls, can be dropped without damage, and that its screen is easy to see in direct sunlight? Because if you're going to be snotty about those things, you'd better have …

As i recall the problem with direct sales of the Nexus was that Google is not, and apparently has little interest in becoming, a customer service oriented operation. If you buy "Google hardware" and have issues, you can forget about talking to Goog…
