Y'know, I think some days, Fandroids (or anti-Apple folks) just pop a bolt. ...or maybe being wrong about "sell, Sell, SELL!"-ing Apple in the past, he's just doubling down on his bad bet. ...or maybe this guy is not finding satisfaction in his …

This story makes a very telling contrast to when Microsoft bought Nokia. At the time they announced the $7.2 billion acquisition, they promised that the deal would include spending $250 million on a new Microsoft datacenter in Finland (to soften the…

1300 acres sounds like a lot (and it is - about 2 square miles of solar panels, or thereabouts), but it's worth putting it into the context that 1300 acres is also 0.001 percent of the total land area of Cali. Considering that's more than enough to …

I see folks here crying over the unfairness of it all ("Just leave Intel alooooone!") but I thought it was a pretty good article. Intel has been tops in processor design and manufacture for years, and it's seriously lagging in mobile offerings now (…
