That it should have to be discussed or mentioned at all implies mainstream recognition of the problem. And for the problem to be of the magnitude that it warrants (pun intended) a technology solution - let alone marketing of that technology - is "o…

Interesting that he didn't point out which law(s) these efforts were circumventing. It is also interesting that there is no reference to the government overstepping boundaries - which arguably is the basis for this kerfuffle. That being said, I …

Um... You might not have a battery problem when you design a mobile phone that your customers only use to make phone calls. Oh, and check the time.

Um. No. The US Government does not sell to just anyone or any country. And their reasoning for that depends both on their political views and how the government is likely to use the weapons once the sale (or gift as in some cases) has been comple…

Anybody can ask. But it would essentially be state-sanctioned corporate espionage. But to your point - why would a country/government allow critical infrastructure to run on something they didn't create?

Most issues can be fixed. Being out of focus is not one of those issues.

Keep in mind this is a filing, not an issue... At the same time, I am pretty sure they should go and look at the trove of patents from Kodak... Am betting they'll find one just like this somewhere in there... Just sayin'

Um, yeah. That whole RT designation. Dumb. I am not certain how a group within MS becomes so insulated as to believe this was actually a good idea. That someone from Dell had to point it out to them should only serve as a case and …

I am hoping someone can offer an explanation here... I have been under the impression that FRAND is used to describe Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory licensing terms. As mentioned above, the terms must be the same for everyone. …

I am at a loss... What is the difference between a ploy and a strategy? Part of me hopes that MS is wildly successful in this space. Tighter integration between hardware and software can lead to a better product. Score. Unfortu…

/sigh. Microsoft designs by committee. Most big companies do. Or they will actually outsource the design to some high priced design group that is going to get paid regardless of whether the product succeeds or fails. Apple is the exc…

The reviewer cited in this article seemed to do a pretty decent job. Seems like the ONLY downside was the price. By definition, that is simply a well-designed highly desirable product. Most reviewers because they can't do must criticize th…

I am not one to believe any of this venture capital valuation voodoo... Keepin' it real: 1. What IP do they own? 2. What are their revenue prospects? It takes a lot of revenue to make your company really worth 4B dollars. Or at least it…

Not sure what is more disturbing... Having a CEO who had to be fired by phone - or having a Chairman that didn't know to contact HR/IT and have her network privileges revoked first... But seriously, Yahoo has great potential. I liken them t…

Markets don't like uncertainty. Steve retired, uncertainty was reduced. But it was a partial retirement, so he's still kind of there - so there is no vacuum. Further, the uncertainty about Apple's eventual succession plan was reduced.
