MS has a history of throwing vast amounts of money away on things that (more often than not) don't pay off. This is their (probably last) shot for the phone market. If they want to be relevant they should throw away a big chunk of money and work…

Another user who is waiting for an update to the Mac Pro line. I was guessing that the next update would be the last with the general direction of Apple (becoming a consumer iThings company and dropping their professional linkups along the way)…

In the U.S. market Nokia's moves are dumbfounding. They release a phone (the N9) that some people in the U.S. would actually buy (not alot of people, but a significant number would), but they keep it out of the US (and other big markets where it wo…

They're nice looking phones, but they're not going to be a match for the iPhones (3GS, 4, 4S), (or Android) because at this point Windows Phone is a new platform, hasn't sold well at all and doesn't have an ecosystem grown around them - MS will pour…

Great look at Jobs' legacy from Jim Cramer over on Mad Money - worth the watch, really: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000049802 PBS Newshour did a great analysis and talk today. Too bad about Marketplace, I normally like them. An…

RIP. You will be sorely missed and always remembered. This is hitting me very hard and I've never met the guy, godspeed Steve.

And the iPod Classic lives to see another day (for the moment), as it is still on Apple's website.

We'll have to wait and see if this really enhances user perceived performance, November I guess. Definitely not a threat to the iPad market (at this point). Its an intriguing solution to get around some of the issues with browsing on a tablet. …

One nice thing Adobe does have a note on is the (admittedly simple) process of installing Java on Lion (via Apple still) for anyone who's interested. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90908.html

As Mr. Cook talked about on the call, the iPad was already cannibalizing Mac Book sales numbers for the last quarter. With what HardBall said, the rumors of a slightly higher end iPad coming (+ regular iPad) that appears to be Apple's new low end…

At least Apple is still selling the hard copy online if you want it (didn't pull a FCS and shred everything before people could get the last ones they might want) - but the handwriting (Mac Mini doesn't have internal DVD option now) is on the wall. …
