Righteous indignation starts here!
Highly interesting! Looks like the race is on for creating even faster storage solutions in the near future, which may also double as processing devices of sorts. Well worth keeping an eye on.
With all the talk about a, still theoretical, 4-inch screen adorned iPhone lately It’s not surprising to see some very in-depth articles about how Apple might go about making such a device. Rene Ritchie has done just that and it’s a very good article, covering all the options.
Do check out my own article on the topic from January this year, which is not as long nor does it contain any mockups of 4-inch iPhones, compared to Ritchie’s excellent article.

Ok, useful or not, this is pretty awesome.
As reported by Christiane Vejlø, Dell had a summit in Copenhagen lately, where some 800 representatives and employees of Dell were gathered. Nothing wrong with that, and even the head honcho Michael Dell himself attended.
What was very wrong, was the conduct and the “show” that the moderator of the event, Mads Christensen, put on. I don’t know much about him, but from what I can gather, he tends to go off on rants about how men are superior to women and how women should stay out of a man way. Which is pretty much what he did at this Dell summit.
It’s not too often I get really, and I mean really, pissed off about stupid things people do, in the tech sphere or otherwise, but this sure managed to do just that. These brain-dead attitudes should have been relegated to the history books a long time ago and that a company like Dell would willingly go and approve this tripe to be “performed” in front of some 800 employees and representatives of companies they work with? Unbelievable. And utterly tasteless.

Harry McCracken has done a great job assembling a wonderful tear-down of DigiTimes and their accuracy regarding Apple rumors. Do go read McCracken’s article and get yourself a good idea about what we are dealing with.
I’ve been saying it for almost as long as I have been running this site and I’ll most likely continue saying it well into the future: When you see DigiTimes mentioned in an article about a future Apple product, close the tab and move on!
Once the Bagel Tech Network, now the British Tech Network. I still enjoy writing articles and having them published there and will continue doing so in the future. In fact, two were published just yesterday. Check them via these handy links:
The webOS article was actually written at the end of last year, but I forgot about it until Ewen recently discovered it in the system and put it up for the world to behold.
And while you are at the British Tech site, go check out the awesome podcasts on the network. I particularly like Worlds Apart and you really can’t go wrong with the Big Show! But do check them all out, there’s bound to be something for everyone.
You know, there’s a lot of admire about Panasonic. They tend to go about their business and make their own way, not looking too much at what’s trendy or what other companies are doing. This latest laptop is no exception. It packs a ton of up-to-date technology under the hood, all quite impressive.
That said… it’s one ugly beast of a laptop! Who green-lighted this industrial design? At least they didn’t “get inspired” by Apple!
I’m sitting on a train writing this, listening to The Beatles’ Revolver album and occasionaly glancing out of the window watching the Flemish landscape slowly rolling by.
I’m on the road with my iPhone, doing things on a device smaller than a cigarette box. Things that one was unable to do at all…
As is often the case, Davy has made some brilliant and astute observations and put it into words. Go check out the whole piece, right now!

For a little while I was contemplating doing my usual thing and tear into the cheaper MacBook Air rumor that popped up a little while ago. But instead of me getting my hands dirty or having to outsource it to someone who gives a damn, Harry Marks did an excellent job already.
I’ve said it before and Mr. Marks emphasizes it perfectly:
I have one word of advice for news outlets looking to publish rumors perpetuated by DigiTimes: STOP
I couldn’t agree more!
Here’s some interesting reading regarding the version adoption of Android and an interesting peek into how well the latest version (Android 4.0) is doing compared to earlier releases. It’s not a pretty sight, really…
I honestly don’t think Android is a bad system or platform. Not at all. On a technical level it’s a very competent and clever system. No, what I have against Android is all the nitwits out there bastardizing it and leaving customers on old software when they could just as well be cruising along with the latest and the greatest.
Yes, you can argue that a great deal of the Android-based smartphones out there have owners who couldn’t care less about all the features and improvements that come with the newer version of Android, simply because they use the device as a glorified feature phone. Then again, there are those people in the PC-sphere too, and we very much like to see them update their software, no?
I’m just really saddened by the lack of traction behind Android 4.0, specially given what an improvement it is in many ways over the previous versions.
