Why do they want to create a phone? Focus on providing an efficient phone/tablet OS that really brings something new and manufacturers will use it for their devices. I really don't get the Ubuntu's strategy. I would love to see some Linux based phone OS become a big player. I know Android is...

1366 X 768 and 10/100 ethernet? Were these models developed from scrapped projects from 2005?

Sorry for asking what might be a stupid question. I am not a gamer at all, but I try to keep informed about everything related to computers. What is so special about the steam box? Is it a console running on Linux (I don't understand the issue with Windows/Mac games being not compatible)? I...

Is not comparing a A10-6800k to a I7 4770K that costs more than twice the price a little deceptive? It would be like comparing a customized Honda Accord to a Mercedes SL something (sorry, I don't know nothing about cars). This overclocking record is just for the fun, just as I had friends (in...

I think smartphones has reached some kind of limit very fast. It is a little bit like desktop computers and laptops: for along time buying a faster/larger memory/larger hard drive/better graphic card.. PC was really improving experience for most users, but now even the low end computers can...

@ hate machine Do you really think that US, Japonese, European companies don't put "malicious features" in their products? Actually there is no need for that, everybody puts all the information the goverment needs on facebook or twitter. Look how easy it was for the FBI to get access to general...

Wow, those who bought the iPad mini must be happy that a better product comes out a few months later?.... Well, actually they will be very happy to shell their money to Apple.

tsnor...and there is no way a linux variant coming from a flipping phone is going to seriously push windows out of tablets.... Push windows of tablets? I don't understand your statement since windows virtually does not exists in the tablets market. Can you clarify?

JOSHSKORNI'm thinking this next gen of PS4 and XBOX 720 will be the last harrah for consoles. Atfter that, the PC market will probably be dead and our smart phones will be able to handle what our current desktops can., just hookup to a docking station. The PC market will be dead? About 350...

hastenHow's your tinfoil hat fit? Well, when you see how easily the FBI had access to general Petraeus emails, you have to ask yourself some questions. If they can do that to the CIA director imagine what they can do to average citizens. Becoming paranoid is perhaps too much, but keeping an eye...

I am using Linux myself most of the time and I agree that it will not become a gaming platform any time soon (I am not a gamer so I don't really care). However, Linux could be used as the operating system for a game console with well defined hardware making it possible to have optimized drivers...

chriscarcusIs the motherboard flexible? I don't see how a flexible display helps when the rest of the device is rigid. Am I missing something? To my knowledge, motherboards are not flexible (at least not yet, I would not be surprised if there are not already some prototypes in labs), but one...

lilotimzMost likely not. Samsung has been testing these kinds of screens since years back. Not to mention Apple has looking for alternate screen makers for a while now ( Phillips / LG etc) so I doubt Sammy wants anything to do with Apple regarding these core products just like how you'll never...

Do you think Samsung will license this technology to Apple? Well, Apple will probably claim that it is their invention and sue (or will just copy it)

Apple can patent a SPECIFIC and NEW way to wirelessly charge a device, but they cannot patent the idea of wireless charge (idea that as many pointed out was developed way before Apple even existed, and have successfully been implemented by various companies)
