Intel is desperately pouring resources into their mobile CPUs. A big winner from Intel running Windows 10 along with Android applications in a phone or tablet would take a lot of sales away from the Android OEMs. Samsung is unlikely to work with G…

Intel literally sees themselves in a life and death situation. They are desperately working to produce a viable x86 CPU than can compete with ARM in the convergence of desktop and mobile computing. Microsoft missed out on mobile but can leverage its…

I find it disingenuous to call Apple out on the walled garden while extolling Android for its "openness" and then saying, well users should have been using Google Play exclusively whenever malware infects the platform. While it isn't the fear of m…

At least Facebook is leveraging iOS and Apple Pay in an attempt to drive advertising revenue. It has all the makings of potentially becoming a great success. Google on the other hand will avoid ApplePay like the plague and attempt to do something si…

I have an original iPad along with the iPad 2 my employer provided. I will be purchasing the IPad pro and planning on giving the work Dell Latitude back. If it goes well, I may never end up using the iMac which is primarily for back up and archiving…

If Google really wanted to follow the Wintel model, they should have focused entirely on the OS. They should have worked more closely with Samsung as a hardware manufacturer. They have emasculated Samsung who was and continues to remain the most c…

Google's model is dependent on an open phone so that they can mine the data. It's akin to renting an apartment from Google for free but without any door locks and a policy in which someone can inspect the premises at will to determine my lifestyle t…

I hope Apple gets it right. Only 2.5 million seems a little low. It will be all right if I can purchase one on release. I won't be happy if I have a significant wait.

It's about time Apple puts an OLED screen on an iPhone. I don't really care that there may be some theoretical color drift. As I understand things, LG uses a white LED with overlying filters. It solves the issues with the green or blue OLED color …

Correction to the above post. Apple does not sell processors. I meant to say the number of processors Apple produces. They do sell the processors as part of the mobile devices.
