I think we should strive for not repeating the Microsoft situation with a different brand. Like someone else commented, a Raspberry Pi seems like a better solution. Chromebooks are extremely tied to Google services.

This specific case might only apply to Apple (I don't know, haven't read about it before) but the quirks of ARM's 32-bit instruction set surely apply to everyone else. The transition could have happen later, maybe, with not t

I'm not sure current benchmarks can really measure the A7 correctly, or if they are at all ready to deal with OpenGL ES 3.0.

Desktops are modular because the high price components used to have. Look at manufacturers now and you'll see a trend towards non-modular designs (iMac, Vaios,…) This is not a scheme to take your money, BTW. Most of the consumers wont

Yes, Finland is a great country to live in. Also Sweden, Norway and Denmark. But people start loosing interest the moment you mention taxation. This things don't come cheap and in the US is hard to sell the idea of "high taxes = b

It actually does. It not only means that, but its one of the outcomes if you are truly open. I think a bigger problem here is why people think YouTube or Google are "open" to begin with. There are some areas in Google businesses t

Apple also supports USB 3.0. go nuts with it if thats what you want, but they are not madefor the same kind of applications. For some professional enviroments Apple still considers Thunderbolt to be useful. Its sad that they are the only on

There are tradeoffs in every approach and there are steps Google could have taken to make the situation better without mimicking the controlled experience and uniformity of iOS. Unfortunately at this point this is pretty much how it's

Exactly! But coming form traditional media, I can see why some of these bad choices are made. It's not easy to convince this big publishers to adopt a complete new workflow.

You can also get amazing images with a point-and-shoot too (search on FLickr for images with an RX100, for example). Again, he is not recommending you to buy an expensive lens. He's just saying you can find great point-and-shoot cameras or

I think we got spoiled by an era where we got really amazing examples of journalism (Post-war, Watergate, etc...). Go back a century and you'll see that what was around was not much different that what we have today. Editorial, opinionated.
