    San Francisco Gives Apple A Cold Shoulder After EPEAT Pullout

    CPU + GPU on the same chip means you cannot replace either part if only either one is faulty. Guess all PC manufacturers should fail the standard by default now?

    Patent Approved: Apple Now Owns "Slide to Unlock"

    There are always "obvious" designs out there in the wild but no one integrated them together to give the ultimate experience. Such "obvious" integrated designs when observed by someone and bring to the public, all others will say this is not invention but copying. Is it true? If so, why not you...

    Wi-Fi Gigabit Speeds Just One to Two Years Away

    This is needed if you are having lots of bandwidth hog devices and having optical fiber connecting your home and the ISP exchange with Gbps speed. Hope the price will be reasonable.

    VIA Wants iPad, iPhone Banned in USA

    From this, Apple seems such an innovative company. As from what I know, A4 and A5 are just some packaging modification of the ARM CPU. Otherwise, there should be huge performance boost from other ARM CPU in other smart phones. From what I know now, this is not the case. ARM should have covered...

    Apple Revealing White iPod Touch in Weeks?

    Sadly, from the manufacturer, the iPhone 5 is still under testing and cannot be assembled and there is no shipping order to the logistics company. So, no iPhone 5 in October even Apple wants it badly.

    Qualcomm Does 2.5 GHz Quad-Core SoC in 2012

    Apple is not perceived as creating good and new technologies but iOS is better optimized to create an overall better performing iPhone 4. The Retina Display is still not found in those high end smartphones using Android because of poor operating system design. No matter how good the CPU, it is...

    Samsung Responds to Apple's Galaxy Tab Block in EU

    What Apple has done right is using the touch screen using hands and a good UI design for such interface. That's not what has been created and marketed before or not done so good that attract users and even a little child or normal people (non-geeks) can use. It is important, because if not...

    HTC Tells Apple to Compete and Stop Complaining

    That's way too true. For haters, they don't want to spend money to support the research and development of innovative ideas or breaking the old rules. So, many of them pretend to support the others to copy from the inventors. Apple products many be expensive, but supporting others to invent...

    New Apple Patent Filing Squeezes Touch Apps

    I like this article because it really points out why Apple success and others cannot compete in the same way as Apple did. User experience is the most important. Until now, Apple is the only "technology company" care for the mass. Both Microsoft and the Linux community is just pushing...

    Non-EFIGA Territories May Get WP7 Limitations

    That's what makes Microsoft a bad software company and Google the second. Why not have support on all languages and using UNICODE whenever possible? Microsoft used to push UNICODE so much but failed to use it efficiently? Linux and Java both requires a re-think in this area as well. Apple is...

    DROID Pro Launching Q4; 1.3GHz, Android 3.0

    Is that really important for a fast mobile CPU? It is better to have the Android upgraded to make the CPU and GPU balance the work. Unix/Linux created the better concept in windowing server and client design than Windows but it is Mac OS X and iOS perfected it. If crawling on hardware design...

    Steve Jobs: I Respect and Admire Adobe

    In response to the last question in the news, it is because large traditional (non technology) companies do not want to advance in any way (especially in technologies). If you work in one of these fields, you will know, there is still a large demand on people with I.T. knowledge dated back to...

    Microsoft's Natal Needs 4 Meters/13 Feet of Space

    Maybe Microsoft is marketing for Sony and other TV manufacturers. Purchase those over 60" LCD TV. 2 meters away is the best viewing distance for 40" LCD TVs, so, you will need a TV of over 80"!

    Best New Features in IE9 Browser Demo

    I am quite worry about the future of the HTML 5 standard, if IE9 promise to adhere to the standard but remains at 55/100 or won't even hit 95/100 and missing some critical parts and functions in the standard. With high performance graphics and easy to use Visual Studio 2010, this may lure...

    Best New Features in IE9 Browser Demo

    It's good to have better implementation and broader support on hardware usage model for web browsers. Though, there seems to be so many "problems" on the web standards pointed out by Microsoft. To me, this just seems to be another way for Microsoft to deviate from the standard. This time, by...
