I just don't think Apple understands what standards are for. They keep creating so many new ones, for such short lifetimes, that we lose the benefit of interoperablility and reusability. If this change were necessary for gaining freedom from c…

The race is on. PC makers will choose between adding Thunderbolt because it is good technology, or ignoring it to make Macs, yet again, the odd machine out and less compatible with most of the new stuff. HP have made their choice and, I suspect, …

I wonder how generic those systems for data collection are. If the patent is one of those mindless ones where they describe something obvious which gets thrown out of court, then this company may just be trying to scare developers into submission, k…

I really hope, for Amazon's sake, they don't try to compete with the iPad. They should develop the product they have and build on their strengths, not try to ape Apple. Lots of people love their Kindles.
