Quote: IMO, Groklaw has a more complete/balanced set of articles on the Oracle/Google situation, especially combined with a few of Florian's details. Note that the folks at Groklaw.com are lawyers while Florian is a legal observer. Mueller's sta…

One of the uglier one-star themes from some Fire reviewers on Amazon (and they make up about 1/6 of the reviews) involves the fact that if you order the Fire from Amazon, the device comes pre-registered. One gentleman in particular came home to his …

Basing the decision on the impact to Apple's sales kind of misses the point of the merits of patent protection. What does "coming at the expense of other Android makers" versus iPads have to do with the merits of a per se infringement? Is the messag…

Man, those Harold and Kumar guys are crazy! Just goes to show you that predicting iPhone futures isn't just for jackass analysts!

Here's your QuickBooks 2012 feature summary: trinkets to make it look like they're not hosing people for what should be a patch from their Lion-incompatible version. Intuit is a joke.

This is more about Microsoft being unable to articulate the way the touch layer and the "hardcore" OS layer are going to work together. Microsoft is nothing if not beholden to the needs of its legacy users and long-term developers. This does und…

Isn't Apple supposed to make some kind of announcement today? I can't remember what it is off the top of my head...

Day 1: Mac users will take their 5 GBs from Amazon and buy an album to qualify for their 20 GBs. They'll upload their albums (and other data, as more than music is permitted) as a form of backup. If they're an Android users, some of them may use it …
