I’d just wanted to share here an amazing post written by David Heinemeier Hansson (@DHH), creator of Ruby on Rails and founder & CTO at Basecamp. On that post at Medium, entitled “Reconsider“, he writes about that startup rush we’re living in: Part of the problem seems to be that nobody these days is content …

Amir Efrati on The Information has revealed the conversation between Google and some chip makers about “developing chips based on Google’s own preferred designs“. The idea here is says Efrati, to “bring more uniformity” and “be more competitive with Apple’s phones at the high end of the market” I have some questions for Google. For example, …
We don’t need latops with 4K UHD screens. At least not yet. The benefits are minimal for most users, because you’ll end using scaled resolutions. That happens on Retina MacBooks since their launch, and for example the 15-inch Retina models have 2800×1800 native resolution, but you end using 1680×1050 or 1280×800 scaled resolutions. With a …
Walt Mossberg has published a column in The Verge in which there’s a little mistake just in the headline. When he says ‘It’s time for Google to make its own hardware‘ he forgets Google is already a hardware maker. It has shown that for example with its Chromecast devices, but above all with the two …
Within a year, OEMs will only be able to ship PCs with Windows 10. Windows 10 market share isn’t for sure what Microsoft expected at this point. With a 7.94 percent (6.63% on Sept’15), it’s a little disappointing that Windows XP systems are still far from W10 with a 11.68 percent. The free update from …
Four days. Google’s answer to WSJ report comes a little late. As if the people at Google themselves needed to meet and focus on the official statement. Strangely enough that statement doesn’t deny what the Journal discovered, and they confirm that they have “been working on ways to bring together the best of both operating systems“. …
One of the most touted features of the new Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 convertibles from Microsoft is Windows Hello, the biometric authentication technology that allows you to login using facial recognition. The feature is nice for desktop PCs and laptops: you use them looking at the screen. That doesn’t happen on your mobile phone, …
The Post-PC is more of a PC-Reborn era. And it is so because the PC isn’t that big box under the table anymore. Or even that laptop, Ultrabook or convertible you’ve spent some money on lately. No. Your PC is your smartphone. And if it’s not yet, it will be that soon enough. The dream …
The OnePlus 2 has been surprisingly unsurprising, but the new smartphone from OnePlus sticks to what really shone in the first device that this Chinese maker launched. Impressive price/features ratio. The design is fantastic, the size is convincing, and all the hardware features (AMOLED!) seem really promising. Even the camera performs on the first impressions, …
The Apple TV has been late to the party and not particularly bold or agressive in the new concept. It brings a new Wiimote remote with Alexa Siri support and a dedicated OS whis is no more than an iOS fork (Apple is obsessed with platforms differentiation). The hardware -with an Apple A8 inside- is …
