    watchaFirst of all, did you all just completely fail to read the part where it was explained that this may simply be a temporary glitch, or that they can use iTunes as a temporary workaround? Did you read the part where that is a serious PITA? And how many people actually know how to install...

    Apple Closes App Store Doors to iOS 3.1.3?

    So Apple locks us down to using the App Store. Then they prevent those of us using older iOS software from getting Apps from the App Store. Additionally Apple tried to make it illegal to jailbreak. Sounds like they want us to buy a new phone badly.

    Nvidia Confirms Quad-Core Tablets Arriving This Year

    I heard some nasty things about this chip, namely that it is still using a single bus to interface with memory and that it doesn't perform as well as many would think because the cores are constantly waiting on memory. I'm hoping it isn't true.

    ZingamWindows is simply too bloated and slow for a tablet and it is even too bloated and slow for my i5 with 7200 HDD. Maybe you should get your laptop looked at.

    Motorola Mobility Sued Over Google Acquisition

    bin1127I think the shareholders can just vote no to the acquisition. Saying Google underpriced them either means they don't realize Motorola is not doing much with the patents or they are waiting for another bid. Which I suspect should be coming in soon from ms and apple. Google is the only...
