FTA - "After Apple launched its ARMv8-based 64-bit A7 chip in 2013, some companies tried at first to deny that 64-bit support is an important feature for mobile CPUs" That's because 64 bit support wasn't an important feature for mobile CPUs in general...but when Apple moved to 64bit, it wasn't...

Awesome phones, all of them. But I'm drawn to the OnePlus One because they're one of the few that are selling their devices at the very price range that high end phones sold today should be sold at. These high end phones (and that includes the iPhone) don't cost a bundle to manufacture anymore -...

Fixed? Don't hold your breath.They fixed the original lockscreen bypass vulnerability but simultaneosly introduced a brand new one! This is why I laugh so much when folks calls Apple a 'premium' and 'enterprise-ready' brand.

cercuitsparkThey have already sold 40 million... Um, no. They sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses to manufacturers who are currently making devices that will be sold running Windows 8 by default. The vast majority of those Windows 8 devices have yet to be sold to consumers.

Sounds pathetic no matter how you look at it. Sorry, folks, but if something makes you act like a crack junkie, it ain't normal or healthy. It's a sign of some significant underlying psychological pathology.

gfairApple spends nothing on R&D? How about its own CPU? Own Operating System? Entirely custom phone design, computer design, MP3 player designs? The entire PC industry is releasing a flood of Ultrabooks after Apple advanced the ultra-slim concept to the current stage (Yes, other slim designs...

Are there other companies getting high markup on their top end smartphones when they are sold to carriers? Of course there are. Yet Apple is the only one who managed to accumulate over 100 billion dollars in unused cash in offshore accounts all over the world. So what's different? Well, the...

Apple needs to bring back Justin Long, the 'mac guy' ....so that he can star in a string of much-needed "Get a Mac Antivirus Suite" ads... Ok, serious point here: It's actually kind of amazing that mac users don't make use of antivirus software to detect infected files that manage to get...

lockhrt999Nope chrome for linux doesn't come with flash. We have to install manually. Secondly we can't install x86 flash on it. It has to be a x64 version and it's still in beta from many years. Adobe doesn't produce debian so process is much complicated for Ubuntu.The software I run is a both...

LOL! That's pretty good. I guess if the browser was accessing the Internet using broadband, it would have to be illustrated as driving a car (instead of running around on foot -> dial up)? And maybe VPN could be represented in the cartoon as a limo service with security escort :-) And the...

Why would anyone expect that WinXP's global market share would suddenly go into a free-fall just because Win7 is now available? The average consumer doesn't upgrade Windows at all. Instead, they buy a new PC whenever the old one finally dies or whenever it is no longer able to perform the...

I don't know why Microsoft is even wasting time trying to compare browser speeds with anyone else. Even if IE9 became the fastest browser on release, it would still become the slowest browser 6 months later and remain in that position for the next 2 years. It's standard procedure for Microsoft...

jamesedgeuk2000Scientists are stupid, dinosaur eggs pre-date chickens, duh For the record, fish were laying eggs before dinosaurs even existed. In fact, fish were laying eggs before they even evolved jawbones. And insects, were the first land creatures to lay eggs...since they were the first...

That's excellent news. I'm one of those who still enjoys flying real-world aircraft in FS. It's actually one of the big reasons why I still have a Windows gaming PC (I've switched to using Ubuntu for all my daily stuff, so Windows is now on very limited offline duty at my home). My gaming PC...

I've always built my PCs to fit how they're to be used at home. These days, I build my gaming rig with Intel chips. But my other 5 machines are being migrated one at a time to contemporary AMD chips. It's true what the article says. Most everyday users don't actually need the raw power of high...
