Blackberry CEO to publicist: "I want to burnish my public image, give me some ideas". Publicist: "Let's release a series of short articles opining on the shortcomings of various competitors. Let's start with Apple". BB CEO: "Great!"

A wrist-mounted device with a gyroscopic sensor could be used to capture gestures in 3-d space, blurring the lines between an epileptic fit and operating your iPhone. Wonder if iWatch is the main reason for the seemingly over-generous settle…

Ashton Kutcher isn't really an actor. I mean, he plays an actor in real life but all you really get is Ashton "That 70's Show" Kutcher. I don't think I could bear to watch and hear Michael Kelso, dim-witted pretty boy, trying to channel Steve Jobs…

Yucky yuck yuck. Because he cares so much about ME, Larry Page wants Apple and Amazon to change their entire business and Google "be allowed" to do everything it wants. That kid has a real future in Washington D.C., or even better, the U.N.

Orwell didn't foresee we'd do it to ourselves, at our own expense and thinking how great it was.

Cue the chorus of oldsters tiring of innovation and the effort it takes to wipe the slate clean and change paradigms.

Don't confuse metaphors with skeuomorphs. Software graphic metaphors such as Desktop, Folder, Spinning Watch and Trashcan are what made Macintosh "the computer for the rest of us" by associating familiar visual cues with similar virtual concepts. …

Sinofsky's comments remind me of what DOS and then Windows power users have always said about using Apple products; "that's not REAL computing". These are left-over echoes of the high priesthood of computing that only a select few had the intellig…

China has been convulsed with riots all summer, including a July riot in Urumqi after which 10,000 people are said to have "disappeared". 80,000 people protesting and rioting around the Japanese embassy in Beijing, and thousands more all across Ch…

Further proof that Samsung doesn't get it — the fact that people value the overall experience they have with a device much more than they care about feature and spec lists.

Just for lolz, a court jester-type idea for Apple going forward. Periodically distribute to all likely competitors, ideas that are just beginning to jell in the Design Lab, with the proviso that they have, say, 2 years to offer for sale a product t…

It's an epic collision of cultures. Stewart Brand and 60's idealism overlaid on rough and tumble American capitalism, where even the mighty can be humiliated vs the corrupt (from a western pov) Korean chaebols with their government enforced monopoli…

There couldn't be a better example of the difference between actual high tech companies - which for the last umpteen years have been exploiting Moore's Law to continuously offer me dramatically increasing power and functionality for continuously d…

Hard to believe there wasn't a confidentiality agreement negotiated between Apple and Samsung's chips and displays division by Tim Cook and Kwon Oh Hyun, the man who ran that division and who is now Samsung CEO.

It's easy to assume that Samsung made an intentional decision to pursue copying the market leader instead of striving to create great products based on their own unique point of view and capabilities. Some reflection on East Asian (Taiwan, China, …
