RE: Ballmer: Microsoft Wants Back the Marketshare Apple is Taking
Looks like Microsoft has some damage control to do with shareholders when words like "buffoon" enter into the conversation. That doesn't mean, however, that Microsoft is spiraling towards certain death. It's a big company and it'll take a long time for other companies -- including Apple -- to make a significant dent into Windows' marketshare.

RE: No Apple Tablet Until Late 2010
I love how the Apple tablet is seen as delayed even though there hasn't been an official confirmation that it is on the way, or when it will ship. I think Apple probably does have a product in development that can best be described as a tablet format, but like I've said before, I am not holding my breath waiting for it to be released.

RE: Google Building Its Own Android Phone
I think Mr. Arrington is flat-out wrong. Google already made it clear that it created Android so other companies can build smartphones, and then went so far as to tell the world it isn't making one itself.

RE: Apple Targets Windows 7 in Web Ad
Microsoft sure makes it easy for Apple to pick on them in ads.

RE: Microsoft Dances Its Way Into Shoppers' Hearts
For the record: You won't see the TMO staff performing choreographed dances in our offices. We don't, however, have any problem going on stage with the Macworld All Stars for your listening pleasure every year at the Cirque du Mac party at Macworld Expo.

RE: Adobe Adds Multi-touch Support to Flash Player 10.1, Adobe AIR 2 Betas
Multi-touch gesture support is cool, but graphics acceleration only for Windows users? That's a disappointment.

RE: Judge Grants Apple's Summary Judgement, Denies Psystar [Updated]
This is a pretty big blow for Psystar because Judge Alsup is saying that the evidence against the company is so strong that the ruling against it is simply a matter of law. I'm assuming that the Judge will issue an injunction that covers all versions of Mac OS X, too. At this point, Psystar should probably kick its damage control efforts into…

RE: App Store Review Process Drives Developers Away
I don't expect to see an iPhone developer exodus, but the growing number of unhappy developers tells me something is definitely broken in the App Store review process. This could turn into a prime opportunity to lure coders to the Android platform.

RE: Microsoft: We Copied Mac OS X, or Maybe Not
I'm thinking Mr. Aldous assumed Microsoft took its inspiration from Apple simply because Windows 7 mimics a lot from Mac OS X. The fact that a Microsoft employee could assume that says quite a bit. "Redmond, start your photocopiers" indeed.

RE: Apple Improves App Store Review Process Feedback
There are plenty of frustrated iPhone developers out there, so it's nice to see Apple responding to some of their complaints. Hopefully Apple will continue to improved the App Store approval process so we'll hear about fewer unwarranted app rejections.
