I’m a Windows Mobile user and I don’t think that Microsoft gets it.
When you use an iPhone or see one in use, you can’t help but be amazed by the beautiful fading and sliding transitions. You’re bound to have a similar reaction to some of the nicer Android phones out there. Then, in comes [...]

To say I haven’t illegally downloaded music would be an outright lie. Can you blame me? Like the rest of you, the ease of doing so was almost as tempting at the price. By our nature, we feel like we’re entitled to this stuff and,if we can get it for free, then we’ll do that [...]

With the Palm Pre launching tomorrow, I had a whopping two minutes to play with one at work. Since I didn’t have time to analyze the software, I just took quick looks at the physical hardware to see what’s what.
Even in the two minutes worth of use, I was quickly able to realize how [...]

It’s a battle that’s been waged in the public arena for years now: Apple vs Microsoft. Now, it’s advertised as “Mac vs. PC”, but Macs are PCs so that nonsense should stop. Either way, though, Apple has been the top dog for a while, forcing Microsoft to back into a corner like a geek with [...]

This is all thanks to yesterday:
My first Xbox 360 unit was only three months old when it decided to take its own life. On a glorious day, when I was off from work, I decided to play some MLB 2k7. Maybe my Xbox knew how bad the game was and decided to give me a [...]

Hopefully this one won’t incite so much anger lol
…If the iPhone “just works”, then a standard Windows Mobile installation just makes you want to put your head through a wall. Maybe it’s not that horrible, but its close enough to make anyone realize, pretty quickly, that work is needed. If you put in that work [...]

Here’s my latest “Bang On” column on Neowin:
Before Windows and OS X started going head to head on a more mainstream level, Microsoft was perfectly fine with releasing a product that not only looked terrible, but was as secure as a paper bag left in the rain tethered to a pair of scissors. Granted, some [...]

This week’s column isn’t going to incite nearly as much anger as last week’s. I was just reminiscing about the earlier days of Neowin and this is what resulted from it.
Windows XP was ugly. There was no way around that fact. The default Luna interface looked as though it was drawn by a crayon on [...]

Latest in my weekly column:
…Firefox is the plain Jane girl. She’s not much to look at, especially when standing next to the other two, but she makes up for her lack of physical beauty with a nice amount of intelligence and the ability to adapt and grow with you. Of course, in public, you may [...]

Column for the week has just been post:
For my generation, AOL was the Internet as we all signed on for the first time. Even if you didn’t use their dialup service, you absolutely had to download AOL Instant Messenger , so you could stay in contact with all of your friends. Let’s face it: Cell [...]
