Samsung had the opportunity to make the most of its Android dominance and it blew it. It had to fork. It could've stolen Android from Google. Instead it let Google take Android back and now it's paying the price. However, it's doubtful that Android …

I remember when Netscape adopted this strategy - skipped version 4 and went straight to version 5 - and it worked out great for them. Still the leading web browser.

It is the nicest smart watch so far and that's the problem. Google/Samsung will have been watching this event and what will they take away from it? That their smart watches are pretty much fine, except they need to better build quality and a goofy w…

These are very solid releases. My faith is completely restored. I was worried, especially with the out-of-character Beats purchase, but they did pretty much everything I've ever wanted them to do. Now I have to come up with entirely new things t…

I hope this isn't true. What a terrible idea.

I don't mind the look of iOS 7 but it's riddled with usability issues, whereas iOS 1-6 was fantastic usability-wise. Did iOS need an updated look? Sure, but it took a hit in usability in the process. I have no idea what's going on inside Apple but t…

The Mac is gaining share because the PC market reached saturation and is now in decline, the iPhone is losing share in the smartphone market because the smartphone market is growing (but it's still gaining in the more saturated phone market). Once s…

I never bought the patent excuse. It hasn't made sense at any point in this story. I think Motorola was hedge against Samsung. It can't be a coincidence that the "Samsung and Google are now best friends" story before this news. That was Google doing…

This makes sense of the highly implausible "Samsung making concessions to Google" news (Google is clearly in the worse position in that relationship). Samsung has basically said to Google: "You get out of hardware or we're forking Android." Part of …

This was always the end game. Apple offered Samsung the same terms it gave Microsoft and settled on with HTC and they refused, preferring to simply violate Apple's IP, and that was why Apple sued. The media picked up on the "thermonuclear war" quote…

I have to admit, I miss the bookshelves. It no longer feels like a "place". I like iOS 7, but everything looks so lifeless now. I hope they'll work more on making each app feel like it's own thing, rather than being generic iOS 7.
