A new study released by Net Applications indicates that a decreasing percentage of the Internet population is using Windows as their operating system. It appears that Mac OS X could soon be listed in the double digit-range, while Windows could fall below the 90% mark.

When you do the math, it turns out AT&T is charging an ASTRONOMICAL amount for texts when you go over your set amount. Not that we really expect ethical business practices from a company with the Death Star for its logo, but this is ridiculous.
2) I’m not disagreeing with you, but your math is a little off. 160 bytes is the data YOU are sending, but there’s other data that has to go with it. Timestamp, destination, etc. So maybe a text message is 200 bytes. Maybe…
SaaS or Software as a Service, is what is generally thought of when you consider services like Google Apps or Salesforce.com. Let’s face it, from the end user and SOHO crowd, to big businesses that are making use of services like Salesforce, you can see the huge value in outsource certain applications, not only from a cost standpoint but for ease

It is an article of faith, of course, that whatever Steve Jobs does is right. And so, since the iPhone currently has no keyboard on it, it must logically follow that it is wrong to have a keyboard, and therefore that Steve Jobs will never produce a version that does have a keyboard.
Worldwide, it has not escaped the attention of mobile network execs that the bulk of corporate sales are not into the executive corridor. Rather, they are phones which are provided for staff, and the vast bulk of them have full-QWERTY…

Nokia today announced it has launched a cash offer to acquire all of the shares of Symbian Limited that Nokia does not already own, at a price of EUR 3.647 per share. The net cash outlay from Nokia to purchase the approximately 52% of Symbian Limited shares it does not already own will be approximately EUR 264 million.
Except open-sourcing Symbian will occur over two years, while the Android SDK is already available and with significant participation/commitment. Over that period, Symbian's current market share will have little effect — everyone…
Now here’s something you don’t see every day: a manufacturer openly complaining about its own product leaks on their corporate blog…
I can sympathize with their views. re: Engadget — You aren't inherently entitled to leaked information just because its available. I understand that your core business practice is to publish gadget info, but the whole…
Steve Ballmer chats about (not) buying Yahoo, challenging Google, and why he thinks Microsoft’s persistence will pay off. But the perfect storm that served Microsoft so well in the 1990s is nowhere on the horizon.
Ballmer suggested that when Microsoft first evaluated search, it didn't see a profitable market there; he gives Google mad props for showing him that the market existed, saying, "And I give Google credit for innovating in the…

The goal was for a Guinness World Record for the most-downloaded software in a 24-hour period. All FireFox needed was 5 million copies downloaded. Not only did they meet that goal, they exceeded it by over 1 million downloads!
Simultaneously downloaded FF3 on home office desktop, a Dell a335w and a laptop - HP Pavillon 6119. 1. Desktop needed a reboot after installation, the laptop did not(?) 2. Two, of six, of my add-ons/extensions are not yet…

Imagine a world where the internet is so fast that personal data storage units are obsolete, and HD films can be downloaded in seconds. With the switching on of the CERN particle accelerator this year, technology has taken one step closer to that reality.
One lucky winner will have the chance to swing like Tiger Woods, dunk like Michael Jordan or tackle like Jonah Lomu. Yes, were giving away NBA Live 08, Rugby 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08.
It is possible that Google will not be beaten by one big competitor. It is possible that they will be pecked at by thousands of tiny start-ups using a new outsourced infrastructure. But before getting to that punchline, here is my 11 point recap of the search market:
7. Tagging is quietly but massively disruptive. The fact that thousands of webmasters and bloggers tag their content so that they can be found by Google is Google's secret weapon. But it could get turned against them. A small incentive to be…
Over the past four years, Firefox has steadily chomped away at Microsoft’s commanding share of the market. When Firefox was launched in late 2004, about 95% of the world’s Web surfers were using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE). As of May, Firefox’s worldwide market share was 18.4%, while Internet Explorer’s stood at 73.8%, plus some minors.
There was no predicting what Mozilla would become when it took flight as a tiny open-source project back in March, 1998. Netscape Communications, the early leader in Internet software, was under relentless assault by Microsoft, which feared it…

Another 2160p TV, if 1080p isn’t enough. Start saving your pennies now.

The research community got a sneak preview of a new technology that smashes existing sensitivity barriers that currently restrict current gas chromatograph/mass spectroscopy and liquid chromatograph/mass spectroscopy machines.
06-Jun-2008 - The American Society for Mass Spectrometry meeting (ASMS) was the scene of a lot of activity from Agilent this week as the lab instrument specialist unleashed new mass spectrometer products at the show.
