Piracy problems undermine ALL platforms. No platform has solved the piracy problem, other than running software in the cloud. Google has been pushing cloud computing for years, and Apple and Microsoft are moving in that direction. It's silly to…

All sizzle and no steak. These guys are trying to get attention by releasing a vague headline and letting it fester, claiming they will discuss details tomorrow. Probably will end up being some crap you have to compile into a device-specific OS …

The key point of Motorola's latest quarter is that they essentially used Android to pull their failing mobile phone division out of the toilet. That can be interpreted many different ways, and may or may not mean anything in the long run, but it is…

And they use cognitive behavioral psychology on the impressionable to create a spiritual "experience" in exchange for money and absolute power... There are a lot of parallels, but I'd rather think that the products are just better...

Meh, I don't get it. eBooks are only a couple bucks cheaper. For even avid readers, it will take years of buying books to "break even" on the reader cost, and the device will probably be dead long before then. If I'm going to buy, I'd rather ha…

Wow, Lookout wants to sell software to "protect" us from mobile malware, yet they can't even accurately diagnose a threat before crying wolf. I'm not sure if they blew it, or if it was misreported. This massive "threat" isn't even mentioned in t…

Kiss and make up already!! There are millions waiting for the iPhone "4v"...

Comparing gross revenues of AAPL and MSFT is irrelevant. No two companies are exactly alike, and yes there are ways to compare two dissimilar companies. While it is not "inappropriate" to compare a predominantly hardware-focused company with a p…
