As a Brit can anyone tell me is Obama what they used to call a Collectivist? P.S - As a Brit I view America as the greatest and freest nation that has ever existed on earth - shame ALL Americans don't.

Abandon the concept of property rights and you are literally a communist. Absurd as it seems Google's entire business model is built on the basis of giving away that which belongs to others.

Not all Mac users hate Adobe or Adobe products. Some of them are amazing. So I hope Adobe don't turn this product turf war into something that alienates it's loyal Mac users just because they're on the mac platform and have one legacy product tha…

Courier is just a really cool looking App. Evernote or Devon think should be doing this right now - probably are. give is 12 months and there'll be something that works exactly like this on the iPad - might even be a microsoft product!

I feel sort of dumb for asking this but this article is saying what? That Microsoft has licensed IP to HTC so that HTC can carry on making Android handsets? Which part of this story makes any sense for Microsoft ? Is it just the 'Android hurts…

iPad out soon - naturally the anti-Apple crap will start flowing.

I've rarely got much good to say about Microsoft but I have to say it looks reasonably well conceived. How that translates in real use is another story but still...is this a real demo'd device or is it like courier - just a render/photo-mockup?

Most probably by launch date someone fledgling developer will release a mind-blowing app that IS a totally different future and the world will say "Wow, that's the most incredible thing I've ever seen - I get it now!" Microsoft Courier (that conc…

I'd say the gloves are off - they haven't even got an answer for iPhone yet and that's 3 years old already let alone this NEW thing. This device represents a new threat - a direction in OS evolutions that they all know they haven't got a solutio…
