The Netbook is Dead, PC Makers Just Don’t Know it Yet

When the iPad was announced, I had a feeling that netbooks were toast. I think it started sooner than I expected though.

On the iPad, and Industry Change

There are things about the semiconductor industry that I adore. It moves fast. It constantly surprises. It inspires lasting love and deep hatred. Change is the only constant in this industry. Lots of companies do any one of the above well, but only one company embodies all these attributes, and thus gets a lot of [...]

Lenovo is Getting it

I also have a hard time sitting down and generating thoughts for original content. Part of the problem is making [...]

Day 1 CES Meta-Coverage

Why can’t consumer electronics companies get it through their heads that they are not Apple, and they do not have to be Apple to be successful? I read some of the hype before the Microsoft CES keynote, and was genuinely interested in seeing what they had cooking in tablet-land. You see, Microsoft and their partners [...]

Crunchpad Appears Dead

A damn shame. Michael Arrington reports the death of his really slick tablet.

I’m Sorry

I realize this link is going everywhere, but when I laugh this hard I need to share. You are welcome.
