Well it looks like I might just be skipping over 1440p. I've been waiting for prices on them to drop to the sub-400 range for years. Most are still in the 500+ range. Still so annoying to me that it's cheaper to buy an entire tablet (say Nexus 10) to get a decent resolution than it is to buy...

robochumpAndroid is not 100% free. Believe it or not Microsoft gets some licensing fees from Android OS because of proprietary software within it. False, MicroSoft does extort fees from some Android manufacturers. Others do not pay anything, and MS has not attempted to extort Google yet. They...

But, but but ... all those devs and people said there was no money to be made on Android... /troll

SteveymooAlright, time for thousands of l33t windows gamers to try and install Ubuntu, figure out they can't get video drivers working correctly, and limp back home to the comfort of windows.Max respect to Valve though, I will be giving this a go when it's released.. Hi my names Steveymoo and...

tomrippity02How so? I don't agree with this lawsuit, but I don't see how those two terms are part of the English vernacular when you aren't really referring to those specific pieces of technology. The phrase "google it" has essentially replaces the word "search" in our language. Even though...

velocityg4He could get that stalker permanently removed for a lot less than $1.2 million. Apparently that's taboo, but that's what I was thinking. I'd imagine threats like this have "disappeared" for less than 1.2 million before. And that may sound callous. On the other hand, if a stalker...

The best deal regarding an iPad 3? Not buying an iPad3. Hey I'm 600 bucks richer already.

I'm with @alldan. Between all the current market players, the mobile market feels saturated at least from an OS standpoint. Android, iOS, WP7 ... Symbian and RIM which are diminishing... and of course WebOS which is basically defunct already. Great time to try and enter the market. What's...

So everything will be a weird shade of orange?

I pay $35 for 7mb DSL, and $30 for a cellphone. My electricity is ~$120 a month, and water/sewer is $35. $65 vs $155, Guess I'm in the 37%. I constantly see people with iPhones/Androids paying $110 a month for it and living a Ramen noodle livestyle. It just doesn't make sense to me.

joebob2000 Us Americans have no use for them since we don't have anything else to fill the 1000 sq ft of wasted space in our basement anyhow, but hey. What ignorance. How about we don't like to wait to start another load. I can have one washing and one drying at the same time. Not to mention...

del35The fact that people are so clueless as to buy a Kindle Fire versus just any other tablet tells you right away the dire state of the masses as far as making intelligent choices. Yes the price is good, but any tablet you choose, including the crappy iPad 2 can allow you to read ebooks...

Is XXXXX Terribly Undervalued? A Fund Manager Thinks So. Replace XXXXX with any company around, and the title probably still holds. Fund Managers are ubiquitous and most struggle to match index returns.

Is the weak demand really due to the economy, or the fact that everybody and their brother already has a flat panel TV? Of course panels fail and some people wait to upgrade / can't afford it. But I wonder when do we shift the blame from the economy to market saturation. Oh well I suppose it's...
