In a world of Spotifys and Netflixs and countless other subscriptions, what’s just one more? Especially for something as wildly useful as Wikipedia. If Wikipedia was to go to a subscription model, how much would you be willing to pay? How much would be high enough that you would try to go without?

With almost unending lawsuits and Apple’s billion dollar victory over Samsung, it appears Samsung made its mind to cut off its biggest customer, Apple.

Even before Apple fanboys sue Microsoft for being copycat, Microsoft decided to scrap “Start” button for good.

I still feel very proud of myself that I have predicted Apple would not be able to ship tablet with retina display on their 2nd generation of iPad.

Gizmodo, for largely accepted as one of best tech blogs, has been quite agressive toward Apple, and its controlled environments over all. No need to mention about iPhone 4, Gizmodo, despite the fact they saw appstore as innovations, did not agree, but rather disagree Apple’s tyranny happening inside the appstore.

The future awaits, however for now, Apple is controlling the iOS appstore and its environment. And the margins between iOS and Android are going to need some time to fill the…

Apple is now warning users of iPod Nano 1st generation users, for it may become overheats, and cause safety risks.

When first B&N ebook reader was launched, I laughed, I humiliated them. Kindle was the only device that made, created inner-environment for ebook market. The markets, ebook markets were spontaneously created and disappeared, and my prediction was that Nook will be one of them. From my point of view, Kindle would have been part of “good old days,” if they have failed to keep the price down to 100 to
