    Smartass in the family

    Agghhh... now that, if you asked me, would be a STRESS INDUCER, not releaser!

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    Microsoft might have stolen the G.U.I but Apple didn't, they paid Xerox $100,000,000 in non-voting stock for it. :O) http://www.gladwell.com/2011/2011_05_16_a_creationmyth.html http://www.mac-history.net/computer-history/2011-09-30/apple-and-xerox-parc

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    Absolutely NOT, or don't your read? http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2012/02/apple-requests-us-preliminary.html http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2012/02/apple-requests-us-preliminary.html http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/08/oracle-to-google-damning-facts-are.html

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    Actually, my HP eStation C510 printer came with a nifty 7 inch Android based tablet which I rather liked, but unfortunately, even though I loved the thing a chip failed so I got rid of the thing. Switched to a Lexmark I did, which I love, but I still must confess that I really miss the 510...

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    Nothing wrong with the Kindle Fire, it's the best tablet (for many) out there because, like the iPad, it doesn't focus on the highest specs at the lowest cost, but rather on content and the user experience which is a good thing, a good thing indeed. :o)

    Apple's iPad 3 Rumored to Launch in March

    The really weird thing is that those same rumors have helped to propel Apple's stock to even dizzier heights, up over $16 per share, and since Apple has over 933 million outstanding shares its market cap is now almost $60 billion more than Xxon, or worth more than Google and Microsoft combined...

    Canonical to Cease Support for Kubuntu

    Personally, I really liked Kubuntu and it's not like it's exactly going away anywhere. It will still be developed and Canonical will still be lending a hand, just not financial support. Considering that I'm looking forward to running the next update of Ubuntu, version 12, its not the biggest...

    Boycotting Apple? You Shouldn't Stop There

    People who call for an Apple boycott are all bogus. Why stop there indeed. The same factories that churn out iPods, iPhone's, etc., also churn out Xbox's, HP computers, Dell, etc., so why pick on poor little Apple (poor and little my foot)? The fact of the matter, according to Apple is that...

    Apple Posts Best-Ever Quarter; $46.3B in Revenue

    I think you hit the nail on the head again Rob! Apple is the best at drumming up excitement. They made an art of it and could sell anything that was nothing for something! I'm not sure what in hell I just said, but I like it nonetheless!

    Apple Posts Best-Ever Quarter; $46.3B in Revenue

    I found it amazing that the day would come when one Apple product, the iPhone, would generate more revenue than all of Microsoft's many products combined, including, of course, Windows, the most excellent Xbos, Office, Windows Phone 7, etc. In that light, I guess I shouldn't find it too...

    YouTube Surpasses 4 Billion Video Views Per Day

    I love YouTube and I can't imagine the internet without it. That said, 4 billion downloads per day is totally mind-blowing!

    With CEOs Swapped Out, Future of RIM Still Uncertain

    This is heartbreaking, as a Canadian RIM is one of pride and joy and I hate to see it go the way it's going. Hopefully, a miracle will happen and it will emerge stronger and better than ever.

    Intel Reports Record Year for Revenue: $54 Billion

    Are you sure IBM's yearly revenue was only $54 billion for the entire year (as if that' small)? It's just that I thought that IBM's revenue would be at least equal, if not greater, than Apple's? In its last quarterly results Apple alone took in over $28 billion, making it one of the few...

    Coca-Cola Retains Top Spot for Most Valuable Brand in 2011

    This is only one list, it's mostly the advertising value of the BRAND, NOT the companies in question. Companies are valued in different ways, for example market cap which places Exxon first, Apple second. If you use the "Cash in Bank" metric, then it's, I believe General Electric first. Not sure...

    Razer Shows Off 'Project Fiona' PC Gaming Tablet

    Great idea for a gaming tablet but at almost $1,000 bucks I rather buy a gaming laptop.

    Show off your desktop!

    Absolutely love the desktop pic; thanks! One of my favorite Linux setups: Ubuntu 11:10; GTK theme Hope; Icon Theme, Ubuntu-mono-dark; Desktop pic... the hell if I can remember where I got it? Screenshot at 2012-01-09 23:20:20 by I'm Me, Who are You?, on Flickr
