Yaaaawwwwn. About as interesting as the weather. Doomed.

Actually, having all this competition for last mile delivery kind of makes for a worse experience on my end. Instead of having multiple delivery firms knock on my door or having to go to several different service points to pick up parcels, I'd be mu…

Thanks for the informative post, Relic! For us looking at Mini as a server, this iteration sure is a letdown. So it's either go with a 2012 i7 quad or hoping the specs will be bumped once Broadwell is out. Gut feeling unfortunately says "fat chance"…

Crap. I waited too long to get me a mini server. Just i5 dual core doesn't interest me at all. So, a bog standard old PC running some *nix will have to do. *sigh*

Actually, the Chromebook angle does make sense come to think of it. The Chromebook as a very cheap terminal device to access the corporate applications remotely is very tempting only Citrix still isn't providing a very good experience here and the l…

Great move! Windows will be even more associated with crappy, low end hardware and by making them run Android - what's the point of developing for Windows? Just make IOS and Android versions and be done with it. Goodbye and good riddance, Windows.
