- melling 9y agoMy two decades old dream is to simply slide a wireless mouse, keyboard, and monitor next to my phone then I'd have a desktop computer. Sooner or later our mobile devices will morph into our desktops?
- hvidgaard 9y agoMicrosoft kinda did that with Continuum for Win10 phones. For the majority of PCs it's more than fast enough. It's a shame it didn't take off.
- digi_owl 9y agoI think the basic problem there is the few devices that support it, and their price.
- threeseed 9y agoMicrosoft just debuted their new shell which apparently makes Continuum a lot better. So it's still part of their future strategy: https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-cshell https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-cshell
- hvidgaard 9y agoInteresting. Wonder if they will try to reboot the W10 mobile at some point.

- pawadu 9y agoSomeone on redit used Samsung Dex as a laptop replacement for two weeks. I was sure she would hate it, but she seemed to like it.

- rimliu 9y agoWhen transition to Intel was announced Steve Jobs said, that they had OS X running on Intel CPUs since the first version. I would not be surprised that there are ARM powered Macs in Apple labs right now.
- digi_owl 9y agoGiven how often the common internals between MacOS and iOS is paraded around, you can bet your ass they have. Heck, iOS 11 seems to be one serious transition point in that regard.
- bsharitt 9y agoDoes anyone know if the x86 emulation for ARM that Microsoft is using was created in house if licensed from a third party? If it's the later, it certainly opens for Apple to easily get their hands on the same thing for a quicker transfer not that they couldn't do it them selves if they felt it was needed(though I think they bought or licensed the technology for Rosetta).
