Definitely has a nice "geeky" sorta "coolness factor" to the tech, kinda like Siri. Also like Siri, I don't think it will be especially useful in it's current form/right away (outside of a pretested demonstration). Just seems like a solution in search of a problem. Maybe like 3dTV some day they...
I'm no fan of Steve Ballmer, but I'm not so sure he's the (only/main) problem. Really, once a company grows beyond a certain size, it doesn't generally have the nimble ability to exploit those areas of opportunity that arise and still maintain a dominant presence/focus in their traditional/core...

O rly!!! You mean I could buy a cheap piece of wood to cut stuff on instead of this expensive iPad? Wow! color me confused, here all this time I've been using my iPad to cut stuff on. I mean really the two look so much alike and the apps are so similar. You can easily see how I was so...
From the article:
"Intel will also indirectly benefit from the surge in device like tablets and smartphones because its processors power most of the world's servers, which, in turn, are the engines for cloud computing, he said."
What sort of competitive advantage do you get from powering the...
Even after all of the success, Woz is still pretty much the same geeky guy who likes to play with gadgets that he has always been, and for that he is and will continue to be respected and admired. I can think of few who deserve it more...
I just don't see how competing with your AIB partners is a "good/smart" move, whether you buy your own manufacturing like 3DFX did, or contract it out like Nvidia is doing. Leveraging the AIBs and focusing on R&D is what really helped Nvidia beat 3DFX, why move into retail and piss-off your AIB...
We stream NetFlix on our main TV all the time, more than watching cable on it, but the stream can't be used by the other TV sets in the house. I'd LOVE to drop cable, believe me, I'd do it in a heartbeat if it were practical, but it's still not quite "there yet." Bottom line - (pros) NetFlix is...
This makes perfect sense, why would you invest in making cars more durable, safer, cheaper, less pollution, more efficient? It makes more sense to add a stupid facebook app and charge more for the vehicle in a declining economy. This is why the domestic automobile industry needed bailing out in...
Of course I don't think there is anything he did wrong morally. Technically speaking, according to the letter of the law, what he did is a crime (violation of the DMCA). Of course the law does not exist in a vacuum and must be interpreted by individuals, and I for one do not think his violation...
For a first stab at a tablet, it's not the worst job, but there are a few key omissions/limitations that will hold it back. I like the low-power phone-like design/OS, Intel's Atom also suggests that this is where things are headed. If it included a good-size slide-out qwerty keyboard (kinda like...
