Battery power

Am I the only one that would gladly sacrifice some of this thinness with more battery power?

It really irks me that my current HTC Sensation would go down a notch on its battery icon before lunch, after an overnight charge? Why do the manifacturers always churn out these paper thin machines with lots power gobbing features, and a flimsy battery?

Corporate greed at its best

Here goes the corporate greed again; changing something that works well with something that will make them more money.

why so many apple machines listed?

The author skipped a large number of machines and just highlighted a lot of apple products, for some reason.

iphone users perceived as novices

I regard iphone/ipad users as noobs - that is, people with too much money, too little knowledge.

I assume the majority of the world feels the same way?

As Sneaky as Apple

Apple has gone sour after their leader died.

Here is the plot:

1) Follow what opensource is doing,

2) Patent all their work quickly,

3) Sue them while implementing their work.

They are doing this to Android. Hence, we do not buy Apple anymore.

Glad to hear Mozilla distancing itself from the evil empire

I no longer have any respect for Apple after the frivilous lawsuits. Therefore, I'm glad Mozilla is moving away from them.

Swedish laws are weird -- a court can decide that you cannot appeal against it?

A court can decide that the presumed guilty cannot appeal against its decision? What arrogance!

Will never buy Apple again

After seeing their abuse of the patent system and their mud slinging in courts -- not to mention their starving of Chinese workers while they make billions, I refuse to buy any more Apple products.

Never gonna buy anything Apple again

I will never buy anything Apple again - I hate their sleazy practices!

More ridiculous patents?

Don't the judges realise what they are doing? That this company is patenting every little thing?

What will happen when Apple patents judge's hammer? How will the judges pass judgement then??

So Glad I already got it!

SOO GLAD I already got this tablet 2 weeks ago!

Btw, Both 10" and 7" models (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) are GREAT machines.. Highly recommended..

Fast, roomy, crisp.. I also rooted it without any difficulties. I'm in tablet heaven.

AS GREEDY AS APPLE

It used to be "as greedy as Microsoft", now the tables have turned and we have a new Greed Winner: APPLE! Congratulations capitalism, you sure produce the best and the worst.

ridiculous patents, dumb courts

Totally ridiculous to patent something like swiping.

I'm just glad that no baker so far patented "cutting bread with a knife" action :(

In the mean time, I'll work on my new patent application entitled "fart to unlock."

Wrong answer to the problem

Trouble was never the platform for Nokia. So I fail to see how going to an inferior operating system will help solve the managerial issues at Nokia and boost revenues.

Apple - as greedy as Microsoft?

Do companies get greedy and unfair when they get wealthy?

Why do they have to kill any competition -- at the expense of users who are deprived of better products.

very clever hack!

That's a very clever hack. Perhaps it just shows that we are overly computerized now. A battery with firmware that's remotely upgradable?

One is born every day

A sucker is born every day and they will continue to buy microsoft products - or rather, have no choice in the matter because the PC they buy, will come with it.

ridiculous claims

Most of the companies fall to this bullying and blackmailing.

It's a shame and explains why Microsoft is so big despite its products.

Games and apple

Well, while I owned an iphone 3g, I bought a total of zero games

When I switched to my android, I bought about a dozen.

So, in ten years, I can falsely predict that Android will own the games world!

Suckers that buy Microsoft

No problem, they can just get the amount back from suckers all over the world.

Upgrading to Windows XP

Recently I trashed my Windows 7 Virtualbox in favor of Windows XP.

Not only everything works faster, but also programs that deal with the hardware, actually work.

What do I run my Virtualbox under? Fedora Linux.

very sad

Very sad to see Sun go.. It has been a great company, too bad it got taken over by a DBMS company.

Bundling should be illegal

Forcing people to buy software when they buy a computer should be illegal.

I would hate to spend 50-100 dollars on a new PC, so that Microsoft can have its ransom.

About time

About time HP offers something better than Windows..

Check out http://techrights.org/2008/12/01/leaked-oem-vista-ad-incentives/

for why companies "recommend" windows :(

Yuck

Windows 7? No thanks, I have long passed the days of regedit..

Sad state of police

So they couldnt just pick up a hand grenade that has been sitting around for years and dispose of it? They had to use thousands of dollars worth of toys to do so? Geez.. Such brave police farce, oops, force..

iphone is already beat

With is protectionalist attitude and censored marketplace - not to mention slow and dull devices, iphone already lost to open-source android..

Steve, get well soon

He has been a visionary that propelled the industry forward.

I wish him full recovery soon.

sluggish vulnerable windows vs. world

The sluggish vulnerable windows does not stand a chance against android and iphone OS.

They have been trying it for years, and if it wasn't for their forced allies, there would be no windows phone/pda at all in the market.

1000 dollars for a nice laptop?

Isn't 1000 dollars a low figure for a such laptop?

Assuming that the data is worth something too, I'd say they don't stand a chance of recovery until they add another zero.

security(Jailbroken iphone) > security(windows)

After many years in the sector, I still believe the security of a jailbroken iphone is still better than what Windows offers. Therefore, it's Apple FUD when they claim jailbroken phones are a liability.

enough of the death star?

He probably had enough working for the dark side?

Silly bickering

Of course if a compression method is better, it will run slower! Duh!

Did he have to study for 3 years to come up with that?

The thing that google is planning on, is the constant increase of our CPU power..

So, soon what appears sluggish today will be lightning fast -- except if you still use Windows, of coıurse :)

Bing any better in privacy?

Why should Microsoft be trusted more than Google for privacy?

huh? How come I'm reading this page?

That's odd, I'm reading the page without any censor things , and I'm in Turkey, using Turkish Telecom's ADSL network.. the mainstream thing that most ppl use..

Script to find malware

Run this regularly on your linux server. Adjust mtime to taste:

find /var/www/vhosts \( -name "*htm" -or -name "*php" \) \

-size -100 -depth -xdev -mtime -144 \

-exec grep -l "unescape('function" {} \; | tee /root/has-viruses

Obama just like the former?

I guess it is true - that big companies run USA, and not the president, as Obama sounds just like any other president that came about.

Iran's sattelite "unfortunate?" Shouldn't he have had the courage to congratulate on this technological achivement instead?

Windows succeeds because

The only reason why windows is used so much is because it comes bundled with the machine people buy. Most are unable to reformat and upgrade to Ubuntu or Fedora, or whatever..

loudness

This probably also means "don't put speakers next to your PC" and "Don't turn the volume up too high"?
