How about phone with an Intel chip and x86 copy of Windows 10 rather than the ARM version and continuum being a dual screen windows rather than something too clever that doesn't actually work for most people.

So you have drones in the air with drugs and an armed populous and you guys in the US think that is a good idea? I would imagine there will be many no fly zones for drones and one or two stray shots taking out innocent bystanders before some one says that maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Toms Hardware has what is probable the most complete selection of odious web advertising collection you could muster in one place. From automatically starting Adverts in the middle of text to mouse over links to pop up adds it is minefield of advertising sparsely populated with useful text...

The first Win 10 had a usable menu then they changed to pointless. What is the point of live tiles on the start menu? Tiles as shortcuts maybe but Live ones on something that is not visible 95% of the time, really? They should be able to be put on the desktop. The interfaces are still very a...

About time too, as all mobile phones are basically the same hardware it make sense that you should be able to choose your OS. Except of course IOS which wouldn't be seen dead on anything other than Apple hardware, but then again there have always been Hackintoshes.....

Can't get 3G where I live, and only 2 out of 4 carriers have any signal at all. 4G probably wont arrive before the major cities have 5G if at all. If only the government (why would a politician do anything for anyone other than themselves?) could work in the interests of the whole country and...

All mobile phones that appear on BBC programs are always Windows Phones. Not sure if this is product placement or they hope to be obscure and not supporting Apple or MS just give good support to allow the program makers to achieve what they want. It shows that MS is in there fighting on all...

Many moons ago Microsoft where lambasted by just about every government for leveraging the widespread use of Windows to sell their software, now Apple are trying to use the widespread use of their mobile phones, music and ebook services etc to leverage their banking opperation (lets face it what...

Here's another thought, 99% of of (smart)phone hardware is compatible, why cant I dual/triple boot or even select the OS of choice at first boot up?

This is almost good, here's a thought, let me select my provider, enter my account number and account password and "it just works", really what is the point of a SIM card at all?

Macs are still more expensive that PCs, which means that Macs are owned either by corporates or by indivduals with a higher net worth, so to virus writers that are focused on finacial gain they present a cherry picked audience. PC = Bot net, Mac = income.

Probably be Googlemail next as they scan all the emails to deliver advertising. They also scan all your searches to deliver advertising, if that isn't profiling for profit I don't know what is.

Quadrophonic sound didn't really die it just evolved in to surround sound in Cinemas and then in to 7.1 systems seen in most home theater systems and computers. Yes it was ahead of its time but like all such Tech it never truly goes away, it just hangs around in the wings awaiting technology to...

Something like a 40-35-25 split would be ideal and health, unfortunately Apple's iTunes/App store is a spoiler that makes moving between platforms less likely and ultimately will kill competition. What would be good is for governments to force Apple to support iTunes at least on all platforms...
