iPad does not want to exit recovery mode? Try disabling Panda Antivirus!

Last night, my iPad2 went to sleep. I plugged it in and it kept restarting when it got enough power. And restarting. And restarting. I pressed Home and Power to enter Recovery Mode and try to restore it via iTunes. But during the recovery, it presented the error below. And restarted and showed the Recovery […]

Yes, Microsoft, Windows should be free

22 October 2013

Apple just release the new OSX titled Maverick for free. I was expecting a move like this from Microsoft. Because their real business is Office, not Windows. Windows is just a window to doing a lot of things. And now is the time, with the PC market going down.

Apple has only 18% share from the smartphone market

25 July 2013

Apple’s philosophy has always been to be consumer-centric. It wants to make easy-to-use, broadly-accessible products. But on some level, it’s failing consumers when only 18% of the global smartphone population has an iPhone. (source) BMW makes the best cars in the world. Does not have the same market share as Ford or Toyota. Is BMW […]

Wearable tech’s first problem…

30 May 2013

So, you got yourself a Google Glass or an Apple iWatch? Nice. Hey, watch out, you might scrach or hit your watch! Use the other hand! Don’t move your head too much, your Glass might fall down. And that’s the problem. Smartphones have bumpers and cases, and even a thin MyCover can protect your phone. […]

There are three important things to note in the past few days. Erich Schmidt from Google saying that by 2020 every human on the planet will be online. Sure, this is not going to happen, and people cited lack of water or electricity, but he is on to something: it is easier to be online […]

Android users keep crying…

3 April 2013

Ian Clifton makes a lot of good points about the superiority of Android over iOS. I agree with him on all counts, Android is a technologically better product. But… iOS does a very good job at keeping things simple and a lot of users want that. I don’t want a widget on my screen. I […]

CES lost his mojo

11 January 2013

I watch CES news like everybody else. Not so much to report, really. A lot of big tvs, a lot of stupid photo cameras, a lot of hd camcorders. Nikon D5100 is a good example of what the tech world has become by using a Toshiba sensor. Other camera manufacturers use Sony sensors. Even Apple […]

Why are people upset with Apple?

17 September 2012

iPhone 5 was announced a few days back and the numbers of negative/angry comments are way higher that when they’ve introduced 4S. Mainly, people are saying Apple has become boring and stopped innovating. What they really want to say is that they hoped iPhone5 will include a lot of new technology (NFC, Wireless Charging) and […]

Why isn’t Microsoft jumpin’ in Adobe’s support?

30 April 2010

It’s murder what Steve Jobs is doing to flash. The problem, after Jobs’ hypocrisy and such is that he is right. Flash sucks a lot. That is why Microsoft, who holds about 95% of the computer market today isn’t saying anything. Because they know, too, that flash sucks for PCs even more than it sucks […]
