What if EMC’s Joe Tucci Were US President?

What’s Missing in the iPad Air

Apple fans generally have a cow when I write about things left out of an Apple product, because to them, anything Apple brings out is perfect and to suggest otherwise is heretical. Given that I think fanboys give up their intellectual freedom to the vendor or product they religiously follow, I tend to wear the Apple Heretic badge with honor -- and thus I'm going to point out the technologies the Microsoft Surface 2 and Nokia 2520 products have that the new iPad Air lacks.

Demo Fall 2013: Little Slices of Amazing New Technology

Demo's fall conference took place last week, and it didn't disappoint. This show has proven to be both a great and an expensive experience for me every year.

This year was no different, and my product of the week is the product I'd most like to personally own. ...
