    On the bright side, when all the Sony data shows up on BitTorrent, I'll finally be able to recover my lost PSN password.

    Tablets will make up a huge part of the future PC market. HP had one of the best horses in that race. This will be known as HP's worst move.

    Also, 2880×1800 pixels are a lower effective resolution than the current hi-res 15" MacBook Pro (1680x1050). (I ordered one anyway :-)

    Remember when Palm started shipping its phones with Windows Mobile and abandoned development of its own system? That went really well.

    "User-centric design process" and "asking people for their opinions" are two very different things.

    Today's tablet market is akin to the pre-iPod MP3 player market. Some public interest, huge potential, no good products, no actual success.

    The grain of truth in the "webOS on iPad" rumor might be that webOS's HTML/JS apps run faster in iPad's Safari than on a TouchPad.

    If the goal of Apple's approval process is to curate quality content, they're utterly failing at the "quality" part.

    The idea that usability is somehow the opposite of things like style, playfulness, fun, or beauty must die.

    Funny how Apple's product videos show how reflective their screens are, as if that was a desirable feature. "Look, it's also a mirror!"
