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.

PC – bleak future

15 April 2013

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 […]

Why is Dell in trouble?

31 March 2013

The first reason that comes to mind is the one everybody knows: the PC is almost dead. But, there is more to it that that. Dell never had good products. It had cheap products. Mediocre products. Not having good products made people look for alternatives and as soon as it found them. Dell existed only […]

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 […]

Companies banning bloggers

5 August 2011

In 2008, I wrote a review of a new phone. I am more of a journalist than a tech expert, so my opinion was from the consumer side, not from the techie who’s impressed by the accelerometer, whatever that is. The review was mixed, with good and bad, again, focusing on what the consumer needs. […]

Congrats to Jason Calacanis

31 January 2010

He single-handed exposed the weak tech journalism. Using his twitter account, Mr.. Calacanis started posting fake and easy guess-able Apple iPad specs, ours ago before the official announcement. Some journalists believe him and posted “the news” on their sites. Of course, now they feel dumb, and I agree with Loren they should be, if they […]

work more?

30 November 2008

Would you believed it if you heard it 10 years ago? Would you believe that we would have to work more every day just to get by? I always thought I would work less and the technology would work for me. Not me working more for technology. For notebooks, phones, cameras… This is a fail […]

What we really need

23 November 2008

Not another social bookmark, social site, web2.0 bullshit. We really need faster and better technology. On my list: A laptop that is lighter and with a battery that lasts longer than 2 hours. my Dell dies after I turn wifi on. and sometimes I really want to blog live from conferences. A cell phone that […]
