There's another video game console fight coming, and Microsoft's latest -- the Xbox One -- has a hard act to follow as it joins the fray. The Xbox 360 has been outselling both the Nintendo and Sony consoles for some time now. I'm guessing Microsoft felt it had an unfair advantage, because it apparen...
The buzz about Samsung's plans for a smartwatch has intensified with the discovery of trademark and patent filings in the United States and Korea. The U.S. Patent and Trade Office filing lists the name of the patented device as "Samsung Galaxy Gear" and essentially describes a smartwatch. A document...
In what amounts to a serious environmental breach or a continuation of China's anti-Apple PR blitz -- or both -- Chinese regulators are scrutinizing a pair of Apple suppliers in China over pollution allegations. The factories in question, located in Kunshan, an electronics manufacturing hotbed about...
In the technology market, we have a number of interesting mysteries at the moment. Somehow someone in China was killed -- electrocuted -- by an iPhone, and someone made up a nasty story about Lenovo and the Chinese government and got folks to pick it up during the U.S. NSA scandal. One of the most p...
It's hardly surprising that Samsung is working on a brand-new smartphone -- it is a device manufacturer, after all. What is surprising is the form factor of this new device: It will reportedly be styled as a dual-display flip phone -- similar, in other words, to the many other clamshell devices that...
Australia has recommended changes to copyright law that would allow Aussie citizens cheaper access to IT hardware, software and digital downloads after a parliamentary inquiry found no good reason for prices to be so high Down Under. The inquiry sought to unearth why IT prices were so much higher in...
I finished my hunt for a new car last month, and it came down to either the Tesla S or the Jaguar F-Type. While affording one of those expensive cars in full performance form was questionable, there was no question we couldn't afford both. Since I'm a sports car guy, I think it is a real credit to T...
One of the most fundamental keys to garnering interest in a democratically funded project is to propose something that people are going to seriously want. Wishy-washy concepts won't cut it -- it's got to be seductive. The svelte Pebble smartwatch is a good example of this funding technique, and it r...
This could just as easily be "Beating Microsoft 101" or "Beating ARM 101" -- basically how to beat any vendor that is dominant in a particular market. There is a way to beat a dominant vendor, but it's almost never by chasing that vendor from behind. Apple didn't beat Microsoft by tying to build a b...
Google, which is fighting government requests for data in two courts and demanding greater transparency in the wake of the brouhaha over the NSA's PRISM program, reportedly also is experimenting with encrypting files on Google Drive. Some files may already have been encrypted. In related news, a co...
What you are going to see in a few days, when Dell stockholders get to vote on Michael Dell's plan to buy back his company, is a war of perceptions -- and perhaps a revelation on the state of the U.S. investor. Both ISS and the Chancery Court have clearly come down on Michael Dell's side, arguing th...
Here's a charging method that could make a lot of sense. It's one that isn't reliant on the sun to convert solar radiation into power; it also isn't reliant on heavy batteries for its mojo. Instead, SolePower uses the same principle as a hand-crank flashlight. SolePower's shoe insert includes a wate...
Nokia is expected to bring its monster 41-megapixel camera sensor to its line of Windows Phone 8 handsets Thursday at its "Zoom Reinvented" event in New York City. Nokia's 808 PureView technology has been in one of its Symbian phones for a while with little notice given to it, but the handset make...
Samsung could be launching as many as four unique versions of its Galaxy Note III when the smartphone debuts later this year, rumor has it. The company reportedly will release versions that offer the same applications, processors and hardware platforms but will come with a variety of displays, camer...
In the U.S., we spent last week celebrating Independence Day -- the day we split from a government that our ancestors didn't trust because it was disconnected from the people. It is fascinating to watch the leaks coming out lately, which suggest our government is acting against the best interests of...
