They are able to see the future but in some terrible parody of the cursed Greek pr...

We have crazy months from time to time, but August will likely go down in history as one of the biggest tech news months of any year. From the torpedoing of Android by Google, to the off-again, on-again TouchPad sales, to the departure of Steve Jobs, to the slashing of Oracle's $1.3 billion settleme...
It is amazing to me the number of people I know who are basically saying Steve Jobs (some wonderful quotes from him here) leaving Apple will not change Apple. Most saw what Apple was like with Jobs, have seen that no similar company has been able to repeat what Apple has done over the last decade, a...

This is turning out to be an amazing decade, with companies getting a rebirth, other firms getting new identities, and still others sliding into delusional obscurity. Microsoft released the impressive Windows Phone platform and recently added 500, yep 500, new features, which should give the Andro...
The Intel-Apple war has been on a break ever since Intel won and Apple moved its PCs to x86. However, Apple has clearly been itching for a rematch with the iPad, and it has been chewing up PC market share at an impressive rate while Intel's been caught napping. Well, Intel has promised 10, count the...
Google revealed on Wednesday a Chrome OS-based notebook, a device it's been talking about for several months. Called "Chromebooks," the laptops will initially be available from Samsung and Acer June 15 through Amazon and Best Buy. The devices were unveiled at Google I/O, the Internet search giant's ...
There is this debate going on in the analyst community with most arguing that the tablet market is like the PC market was, and Apple will once again be overwhelmed -- in this case largely by Google and Android.
