Meh...teaser! Come on, a teaser is every explosion in the movie with an audio track of the most epic music composed by John Williams. And that's all. Have you never watched a trailer and then, after seeing the movie, feel sorry for the wasted time and money? Or vice-versa, have you never went to...

It's official! I'm moving to the UK and going back to school! Why can't more governments do this? Allowing some of the tech giants to do something for free, without asking for bribes, and burying everything under a ton of paperwork. Hmmm...not flaming or anything, really, but what has Apple...

Maybe I'm way too much of a SW geek. Maybe i've been reading too many books and comics and watching the old movies waay too many times, I don't know... Bottom line YES! I really think the next SW movie will crush and burn. Don't get me wrong. I'd feel bad, if proven correct. I want the next...

"The best the next one will be" say you? Happen, that will not! Yoda aside, that really can't happen with the guy that butchered Star Trek directing. The only redeemable quality that movie had was Zoe Saldana. I was kinda hoping George Lucas will make something of an...apologetic movie. Sort of...

Well, old business's are easily understood, they are time proven, and more importantly, they are well connected. Start-ups? Not so well connected, too much innovation can be very difficult to understand by some investors - even by some customers in the target audience. Most importantly...

I used to hate this guy. Now I'm sorry for pirating Windows all those years! At least they are money well spent! Just bought My new Horize laptop. I'm so proud of it so far. Intel Core i7-960 3.2-3.4Ghz Processor Innovation Cooling IC Diamond 24 Carat for CPU + GPU 8GB 1333Mhz RAM (2x 4GB...

All I can say is ...bummer! Well, we still have 5 good movies :) Just bought My new Horize laptop. I'm so proud of it so far. Intel Core i7-960 3.2-3.4Ghz Processor Innovation Cooling IC Diamond 24 Carat for CPU + GPU 8GB 1333Mhz RAM (2x 4GB Configuration) 500GB 7200rpm Seagate Hard...

The thought of a Mozilla phone sends chills down my spine. I really hope they won't be as bad as Firefox is. Just bought My new Horize laptop. I'm so proud of it so far. Intel Core i7-960 3.2-3.4Ghz Processor Innovation Cooling IC Diamond 24 Carat for CPU + GPU 8GB 1333Mhz RAM (2x 4GB...

Let's do a little worst-case-scenario-math. Unit cost for a single iPhone5 16GB is around 170US$ (HW+SW) and retails somewhere in the 650-700 US$ range. Add marketing, logistics, etc and the price should double. Let's go even further, let's say 400US$. Let's take the most conservative number of...

Well, going online is like playing outside was, when we were young! my parents used to check up on me then, why should I not check up and have a say on my kids on the new, and quite unfortunate, playground? Just bought My new Horize laptop. I'm so proud of it so far. Intel Core i7-960...

Sic transit gloria mundi! Too bad, i will miss them. My 1st computer was an Atari ZX Spectrum clone. These guys were gods during the 80s. It's sad to see them go. __________________ Just bought My new Horize laptop. I'm so proud of it so far. Intel Core i7-960 3.2-3.4Ghz Processor...

Did anyone really believed arresting him would bring an end to piracy?! Beware of the revenge of the geek. He might not be an IT guru, but he sure knows how to step on people's toes. And...he has flare. He has become a media darling. That makes him pretty much unstoppable for now. Let the...

Cars, technology, games...boys toys. Why not have some nice looking chick next to the newest Sony phone? A journalist complained about needing to compete with half naked girls while trying to cover some stands...hmmm....weird! Is she a real journalist? Because, as such, she wouldn't have any...

Google vs. Microsoft, Google vs. Apple, etc all settled out of court. Why do they never publish the settlement deals? That would be pretty fun reading. Explanations as to why the price of some gadget just got bumped up or down (sadly that happens more often than nought) a few EUR would be nice...

Just the mobile phones? And that would be a prepaid service? As far as electoral bribery goes, this one is pretty smart, as it uses public money plus you could tender the contract to a telephony provider a corrupt govt. official controls through third parties, bringing the money back into your...
