Perhaps that's because many companies are risk averse. Real entrepreneurship demands risk taking to be successful. Google can afford taking risks, Microsoft as well. Both have their cash cows to provide regardless of success or failure of their ideas. Apple has taken more risks than an investor would generally withstand. But that's the nature of Apple (at least it was with Jobs).
Many industries rely on think tanks such as Gartner or Forester to guide them. Obviously, they'll sell you the exact same thing they sell to every other company. If Gartner says Windows 8 is the next great thing, everyone will jump on it. And it's a lot easier to get your budget approved by upper management if it has Gartner's blessings.
People make it sound like administrating unix is hard. You should try to administer Windows Server from a tablet. That's a real challenge - although less so with the new GUI-less options.
The iPhone 5 is in fact quite good. Zero lag and extremely stable. However, if you like to tinker and install ROMs and rice-up your phone, don't get one.
I definitively agree. Canonical is taking a leadership role and there's nothing wrong with that. It often easy for a few developers to say "hey, let's implement a FOSS version of c#, Java, Windows, SMB, etc." Sure people want these but at the same time, where is our new desktop paradigm, our more efficient file sharing protocol? MIR is an example of getting out of this pattern where we simply FOSS things but actually show some innovation. Obviously there is innovation in the FOSS arena but it need to be more up front.
Also Google can make anyone a doctor. I can find YouTube videos on how to perform neurosurgery. All we need is a detailed 3D printer to get a model onto which we can practice and done!
Most likely, Apple will have 100% of the market. Just like they did when they introduced the iPad and no real competition for almost two full years. From this perspective, the analyst isn't that far off. I must say, analysts may generally underestimate Apple. This one is a little bold. The iWatch might in fact turn out to be a dud.
There's a difference between a lock (password) and a door knob (the slide to unlock/face to unlock). Also, aren't most phone's contents encrypted? I believe the iPhone is.
I think it's simply a case of whomever has the bigger gun gets to keep the asteroid/planet/solar system. It's back to the wild-wild west era. Unless we establish a planetary government to establish and enforce legitimate claims.
It looks like all iOS devices are to a certain degree user programmable. How do you think all that software got written? All you need is Xcode and an Apple developer account - sure there is small cost but so what? You can even side-load apps onto iOS devices with this (or other ways. You might even be able to do more with a jailbroken device.
Now if you consider time as having a cost, you do have to invest time in learning either Java and/or obj-c.
Microsoft already has all big corps without having to make any efforts. Not sure Dell's investment will change any of this, except maybe to get a few more companies who run HP, IBM to start picking Dell. Given the very low profit margins in corporate sales, can't see this paying off.
Typically, companies are not bailed out. Kodak for instance. I think we're talking about an entire industry, for example farming. Given the size of farms today, if one farm shuts down, there might be no food on you table tomorrow.
This is going to show us if Microsoft can in fact be hurt badly enough that it will have to restructure and dump products which do not sell. I'm expecting fewer and fewer free services from them.

Young people still love radio. You're not in their demographics anymore kid.

That's if they can actually crack the shell.
Microsoft wants to own The Internet.
Seriously, fuck Disney!
Someone sold them to Disney. What did you expect?

Is more penetrating.

It does look like this was just a "feeler" but indicates the direction MS wants to take wrt to software licensing.
If you can rice the iPIP 2, I'm buying.

I was expecting the link to take me to a goatse image. Maybe the article is really just an euphemism.

It IS funny. First thing I thought of as well. Good thing we've got mods with a sense of humour.

I can't disagree with this. Novell was THE server OS for file/print and applications ran on Unix.
Unless Apple buys Dell in its entirety and starts concentrating on making Linux boxes.

Why do you think SAP (and many other business tools) is available for iOS? Exactly for l-o-b usage. It's not the consumer version of SAP.
That so called "media consumption" device in fact does plenty more.
Then why is the "return" statement not returning an int?
#include
#include
#define STR_SIZE 80
void GetString( char* strOut, unsigned int strSize )
{
strncpy( strOut, "Bro, do you even code?", strSize );
}
int main()
{
char buf[STR_SIZE + 1];
GetString( buf, STR_SIZE );
printf( "%s", buf );
return 0;
}
