    Microsoft to Natively Support USB 3.0 in Windows 8

    Your totally ignoring the fact that Thunderbolt is only exclusive to Apple for one year, and there after it will becoming to the PC, and trust me, it's already a hit and will become even more so once it hits the PC side of the equation: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/thunderbolt-is-a-hit/1516

    Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

    By the way, 22 million x 20 is $440 million, but you must remember: Apple has 933,000,000 outstanding shares, or about $18.6 billion! Apple's stock has improved, being only $11 or so short. Apple is expected to go on, more or less as usual...

    Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

    The last thing I wanted to hear, but knew was coming. Apple already lost $20 per share in after market trading, which is about $20 billion dollars and no doubt it will be a bloodbath when the markets open in the morning. Tim Cooke has been running the company for the most part anyway, not...

    Microsoft to Natively Support USB 3.0 in Windows 8

    Microsoft supporting USB 3.0 natively is good, but one thing is for sure is: Apple definitely won't be supporting it natively! Then again, Microsoft won't be supporting natively Thunderbolt either which Lion already does, so I'm not all that sure why Apple would want to waste its time on...

    Windows 8 Could Require Internet Access for Continued Use

    I'm all for Microsoft trying to stop privacy, but as 2Tired2Tango astutely observes, it will never really be totally eliminated, unless of course, you can change human nature itself? Microsoft, of course, has the right to do whatever they feel will reduce the piracy of their bread-and-butter...

    HP Pulls Plug on its WebOS Products; Making Changes to its PC Business

    I agree 100% with you. The last CEO brought Palm, but at least the current CEO is man enough to see that no one is really making any money or headway with tablets, other than Apple, and I think he has shown a lot of guts in making this decision, whether or no he is right on the matter or...

    HP Pulls Plug on its WebOS Products; Making Changes to its PC Business

    It's sad to see the Touch Pad and Pre-Phones die, but I have the sneaky feeling that HP will license WebOS out the way that Microsoft now does Windows. However, on the other hand, as I read somewhere, who is going to want to license an OS that no one, not even mighty HP, could make a success out...

    Apple Begins Selling Mac OS X 'Lion' USB Thumb Drive

    It's actually far cheaper to make your own Lion USB stick, but as far as $69 for the Apple version goes, you have to admit that it's a hell-of-a-lot cheaper than paying Microsoft $179 for a upgrade that comes on an easily breakable 50 cent DVD, or $300 or more for a full upgrade! Thumb drives...

    Google to Acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 Billion

    Interesting indeed! However, some are pointing out that it could "Sabotage Android"! http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/mobile-cloud-view/google-could-sabotage-android-success-with-motorola-mobility-buy/ The news is like Google set off a tech nuclear explosion, but what it will mean...

    Bing Beats Out Google in Search Effectiveness

    Very interesting.... I normally use Google, even though I hate the company with a passion, because I was under the impression that Google was the more accurate? I guess I was wrong so I think I'll just replace Google with Bing as an experiment and see what happens? Unfortunately, I find that...

    Are Internet Explorer Users Dumb?

    Well, I'm not sure if this is all true, but I'm kind of hoping it is, as I have been a staunch Opera user for almost two bloody years now! I've always felt like a traitor, being the Apple fan boy that I am, as well as feeling a little bit lonely for using Opera as my main browser, but hey, if...

    Why Is There So Much Hate On The Internet?

    I agree 100%! I've noticed that there seems to be a trend that people are just getting to be a lot meaner, and a lot more hateful lately. If a person doesn't like the iPhone for example, well that's just fine and dandy, but why can't people simply disagree without being disagreeable? I...
