It's a business decision - web makes all the OS platforms equal. It is against Microsoft's interests to do that. They wanted to keep the status quo as long as possible.

I loved Surface Pro but I felt that if they replaced i5 with an Atom [or atleast give it as an option], that would improve the battery life, reduce heat, make it slimmer and cheaper. Overall it would be everything that I want.

Could it be that they are betting on ARM and x86 processors? Given the fast pace of technology development on ARM, if they keep sticking on to Intel, they might lag behind others in terms of what they can provide.

The difference is that Google provides ad based services. It's important that users remain loyal to use their services. Both Microsoft and Apple are predominantly product based companies. They sell products and all that matters is whether t

Better way of looking at it is: gmail is for person-to-person communication. facebook is more of a person-to-restricted-group communication. twitter is person-to-public communication. Each one has its own positive and negative points. Whate

All the stuff that is mentioned here is applicable to most of the US universities. At least the one I attended to, had similar open access to everything and an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.

Agreed. The key here is to make science out of art, just the way everything 'education' aspires to do. I do agree with you that getting hands dirty is probably the best way of learning but it is up to people to figure out how much effort th

I did a similar hand gesture recognition software to control image viewer as part of my computer vision course project. It was really fun to do. I believe, presentations and lectures are the places where this kind of technology really makes

Related to platforms, I think Google still lacks the clear vision that Apple seems to have. Within next few years, one can watch movies, listen to music, browse internet, read books, play games, respond to mails, be in touch with friends, w

I think, Google has been playing rather well. For so long, it was more of a loosely connected free services rather than a single ecosystem that seamlessly work together. There was nothing, for the most parts, preventing any person from movi
