I vividly recall when MS launched Surface, with high-cost special kiosks in prime spots in malls - with everyone walking by, completely ignoring them. They then tried opening Microsoft stores in malls, as close as possible to Apple Stores - only to …

All you need now is an iPhone 6 - which is essentially non-existent, as Apple Store employees will tell you.

Darwin was right.

Yes, we make extensive efforts to collect information - and do nothing with it.

Epidemics of associative ignorance are legion in the modern world just as in the world of yore. Remember a few decades ago when eel-skin wallets were being blamed as the cause for erasure of the magnetic data on credit card stripes? Facts are usuall…

Consider which phone is plastic, has a pentile display, and has to throttle down its CPU. Consider which phone wins JD Power awards every year, and has the highest customer satisfaction ratings year after year.

A round smart watch is slavish skeuomorphism - something Jony Ive would be expected to despise. A round shape is for a device where a mechanical hand rotates around a dial: it is pointless for a smart watch. The Moto 360 reminds me of all those 200…

Samsung is running scared, facing drastic drops in mobile device profits such that they are throwing all kinds of plastic devices into the marketplace to desperately garner income. Worse, they are hemorrhaging money on expensive, widespread adversin…

An increasing number of analysts is saying that Microsoft should just give up, and cut their losses. (One analyst invented the term "Zuned out" to describe what happens when a company waits for major players to prove that a marketplace is lucrative …

September 9th is a questionable date for such an event considering that the Back To School promotion runs through September 9th - unless Apple intends to announce things but not make them available on launch day, which would disappoint and detract f…

There's also some poetic justice at play in this Samsung pickle... While Samsung has been looking in the direction of Apple for something to copy and imitate, a slew of smaller Asian phone makers have been imitating Samsung's handsets and greatly un…

Samsung also blamed increased costs in the production of its flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone. If that's the case for their plastic phone, then they would be even more challenged to make money with a truly premium phone as exemplified by the iPhone 5S.…

Of course, the Samsung device owner is a rarity, being one of the few people who have bought a Galaxy S5.

To anyone who has been watching Google over the years, it is clear that these are basically a bunch of kids who are pursuing costly distractions, frittering away a lot of money on their bad case of ADD. Steve Jobs emphasized the need to stay focused…

If China can dissuade its citizens away from iPhones to Android imitations, their government will better be able to monitor their citizens.

Additional perspective on this is that Apple did not invent Siri - they bought it. It originated in 2003, as DARPA contracted SRI International to create a virtual assistant. It is something that Apple had wanted since it's mid-1980s concept of the …

I'm sure that DoJ is simply working down the alphabet and will get to the G's by the end of the decade.

Another Flash security exposure - I'm shocked! /s Why Steve Jobs had a low opinion of Flash and the people who continue promoting this heap.

The graph of Samsung phones discounting over time on page http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-smartphone-sales-plummet-company-issues-earnings-warning-1454100 would engender panic in anyone familiar with running a business, as Samsung is undertaking de…

A kind of follow-on to the circa 2006 iPod Hi-Fi sealed cabinet speaker system.
