Questions and comments about Firefox 3, IE 8, the future of Web browsers, cloud computing, and how it all comes together

So it's always amusing to me when the mainstream press tries to cover tech products, but I was particularly interested in this one since I'm in the middle of writing my own Firefox 3 review. I think that terms like "innovative" are thrown around too casually these days, and while I...

Apple lofts middle finger at PC users, PC users thank Apple for acknowledging them

After weeks of complaints from users, pundits, and bloggers about it pushing its Safari Web browser like a piece of spyware, Apple finally responded by continuing to push its Safari Web browser like a piece of spyware. The subtle change they made, which in no way addresses the actual complaint, was met...

The iPhone is not a UMPC, sorry

The Apple Blog engages in a bit of wishful thinking : Microsoft had their chance at defining a market. They pushed for the creation of the Ultramobile PCs (“UMPCs”).
