$119.6M? Seriously? This is a win for Samsung.

We'll see how this plays out when all of the details are revealed -- it may or may not turn out to be the same thing. Apple should be treated the same as any other company if found guilty of wrong-doing. Period.

Again, I'm not convinced Apple is working on a watch at all. I'm not even convinced that the majority of people even want or need a smart watch. As I recall, it was analysts that decided the next big thing should be a smart watch, not Apple or any…

Meh.

I have a Nest and I'm not thrilled that Google bought the company. I avoid Google wherever I can. Who knows what info they will harvest in the future. I'm betting that they will use our data to help furnace companies sell us new furnaces. "We notice…

If Android "is" the platform, you can bet they will be tracking every iota of information that they can on you. An Android platform doesn't sound open to me. An Apple platform doesn't sound open either. I'm an iOS guy through and through, but a tr…

Apple chooses people based on their abilities and that's the way it should be. Ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation is a non factor.

Everyone's Smartphone should be able interface with their vehicle. It shouldn't be Android only or Apple only. An "open conduit" is the best solution in my opinion. That said, my iPhone will have to be fully compatible with my next car. It WILL be a…

Mavericks broke back to my Mac for me. (and quite a few others) Yeah... if they wanted to go ahead and fix that, that'd be terrific. Mmmkay?

The reality is data of this nature is required for the device to function properly. The data was not sent back to Apple's servers to be harvested. The mistake Apple made was the data stored on the phone was not encrypted and as such if someone had f…
