15" MB Air would cause me to sell my current MBP and replace it. (oh, I they should also put a lock slot on the MB airs too).

I've put off buying a 3G iPad2 because I want to find out which network I should get it on... this increased choice is causing me some heartburn: 1) AT&T 3G HSPA+ so the iPad2 is usable and resellable overseas. Lower pricing tier ($15) but …

Apple is squeezing the PC market with the iPad on bottom and the Macs on top. Expect low-end players like Acer to strike for quality or die trying. Dell is in a tough place. HP is staking it's future on WebOS... Lenovo, well, the ThinkPad name…

and in a big way. Classic Inventor's Dilemma: http://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Dil.../dp/0066620694 Microsoft and Intel are so drunk on their profits, they won't see their lunch being eaten until it's way too late (ie, now). All these half…

This will be a welcome change. Microsoft has changed a lot of how things work with Active Directory and openness for it's own sake isn't helping. I'm really glad that Apple (as of iOS3 and OSX Snow Leopard) finally moved to support modern Exchan…

It's nice to be able to buy stuff wantonly, but the iPad (and iPod Touch) is a shared device, and I can see how kids have way more access to it than they might with an iPhone. If the password is cached per app, this would probably be negligible f…
