  • Microsoft debuts Surface Studio all-in-one PC, refreshes high-end Surface Book

    Dead in a year.

    iMac clone and iPad Pro copycat.

    At brutal prices, too. 

    In trying to mimic Apple (poorly) MS is pricing themselves out of their own market, and into a market into which they don't belong and don't understand.

    its crazy that Microsoft seems more innovative than Apple right now.

    They are willing to take more risks, be less cautious.

    We all mock the Surface. But lets admit that Microsoft did have the right idea, even though the execution sucks.
    Go sit in the corner. So you want Apple to be just like Samsung and Microsoft, throwing shit at the wall and waiting to see what sticks? Yeah, that always works doesn’t it.
    There can be a middle ground

    Apple is TOO RISK ADVERSE
    Samsung may be TOO RISKY

    Shipping a phone with the same basic frame (iPhone7) while cheap POS companies like Xiaomi ships a near bezeless phone is unacceptable.

    Know what's "unacceptable"? The compromises Xiaomi had to make in order to get it bezel-less.

  • Microsoft Surface sales boom amid tepid iPad demand

    "As usual, the company did not reveal total unit sales."

    Market non-starter. 

    Like it's been this entire time.

    I won't because I despise the way the new home button feels

    Took some getting used to, but I find it comfortable now - I'm totally used to it, and it seems an elegant solution besides. 

    I've also become a 3D Touch addict.  ;)

    Maybe give it another chance.

  • Corporate culture, haste reportedly at core of Samsung mishandling of Note 7 situation

    Oh they *are* cultural values. Ones that are about seniority, honour (family, patriarchal), position, and saving face. 

    They simply don't work in this day and age when it comes to the connection between products and their customers. 

    It used to be this way in many of the Asian airlines, for example (still is, in some respects.) It was seen as disrespectful and otherwise improper for subordinates (like the First Officer) to question the Captain or take the controls for the greater good, even when the latter was obviously in the wrong (and sometimes dangerously so.) This resulted in bad cockpit resource management, in turn resulting in entirely preventable tragedies.

    The problem is very much cultural. Not everything translates well (or safely) into the 21st century.
