If Gruber is biased toward the Apple way of doing things, maybe that's because iPad is currently the king of tablets, so they must be doing something right (especially after everyone mocked it as a giant iPod touch with a silly name).

It's the UI from Windows Phone 7, which didn't exactly light the industry on fire.

Apple actually tried to introduce HTML5 as the development platform for the iPhone, and developers didn't want it.

Microsoft's API churn must be disconcerting for developers trying to figure out what to standardize on going forward. This is yet another API for writing Windows apps. WPF? Silverlight? HTML5? I would always have a fear that something else

This is a poorly written article. Linux on the desktop is infamous for relentlessly cloning Windows and OS X. When citing the changes in OS X Lion (while leaving out major changes like the removal of manual document saving) that he believes

It says right in the article that AppleCare doesn't cover what users do to their machines. Microsoft doesn't remove malware that Windows users install either. This thing is coming from Ed Bott's Microsoft column on ZDNet, where he's been hi

Of course it's going to replace the home computer. Tablets are becoming the home computer. If tablets browse the web, access email, play music, and more, why would most of the public need a PC? Only those with technical needs would requir

You never have to reboot for an update? If you do, than it's little different from Windows' auto-update, which downloads and installs in the background. Also, Chrome OS is based on Gentoo, and I doubt Gentoo will never need an update again.
