It's interesting, because Microsoft counts all Windows 7 copies now as Windows 8 downgrades - but they still count as a Windows 8 sale. I've been buying a several Dell business class machines that have Windows 7 downgrade option (that I'm opting f…

Mansfield would only meet with Mansfield "if Cook was present to mediate." Apple has invented the Matrix!!!

Ugh! I'm waiting for the phone calls from my various clients now... They use ZipForm Online, which exclusively uses Java! Before anyone starts by saying how easy it is to fix this problem, you've never been a computer consultant before!

There are a bunch of conspiracy theorists on Reddit that would disagree :-P

First of all, very cool article. Getting to the "assembled by Foxconn in China" part. I remember Cook talking about how the current iPhones were/are designed to be put together by human hands. This is purposely done so that it can be put tog…

This is lame. My Lexus has a phone button. My iPhone is connected to it via bluetooth - yet I KNOW they wont offer an upgrade (yes my console is software upgradeable) to implement this. Instead they want me to buy a new car. Lame lame lame!

I had to chime in here, too many people who don't work in a real IT department commenting... While I agree that RIM is dying a slow death, everyone has to realize that a lot of IT departments have invested fully into RIM's ecosystem. Most compani…

Little late to the comments... Did anyone else immediately flash back to Windows 3.11, 95, 98, and finally 2000 and XP when he was talking about a re-write to fix the issues would require significant legacy support? The main reasons why 2000 and …

I've heard bad areas in NYC, but the DC area is just horrible. When you have service it's great! But what you may have one minute is gone the next. This is especially true when crossing any of the bridges or riding along the GW parkway. It's almost …

I was about to say... TRIM support is driver based. It's up to Apple if they want to support it or if this is a planned obsolescence of older machines. I have a MacBook unibody, I've already upgraded the HDD to a 7,200 RPM one. On one hand I'd be di…

R.I.P. Palm. From the Pilot to the early Treo's (emphasis on early), you made some awesome products! It's sad to see HP tearing apart another company with some great technologies! Another tragedy of HP's exploit of a company's purchase for short ter…

To all the people complaining that they got ripped off, this is what it costs to be on the bleeding edge. I just got the new ATI 5970 for my gaming rig, and paid an arm and a leg for it - alas I don't complain because I wanted the best of the best. …

Thank you! I thought I was the only one - and loosing my mind!
