I was excited about ZFS, but I'm thinking that if the file system does everything Apple wants it to do I'm don't see any compelling reason to replace it unless there is something really good to replace it with which actually adds value to end users.…

I'm pleased. Apple seems resource stretched so a year of consolidation is probably they best thing they can do right now.

Quote: Google employees have previously stated that the company sees web apps as the future, making it more likely that Android would merge into Chrome OS. I don't see this happening. Android has the installed base and momentum. It can also …

I think it is a good article because it is good to reflect from time to time. On the hardware side the rate of progress from 2005 is impressive, especially considering the often voiced complaints Apple is somehow abandoning the Mac. That is a reflec…

I think it will take longer for Android tablets to be competitive. Rivals to match the iPhones user experience took a lot longer to arrive than anyone expected. Also the main appeal of an iPad is that it is a big sceen app console and Android…

Netflix won't launch on Android because it lacks generic copy protection system. The BBC, who obviously need to protect their content as well, will launch on the iPad exclusively and not the Galaxy Tab or other Android tablets. Could it be tha…
