On July 29th, Microsoft launched the final version of Windows 10 for desktop PCs and laptops, but that was only the first part of their ‘One Windows’ launch strategy. Now comes the hardware. The event Microsoft has confirmed for October 6th is going to be a big one: the first high-end Lumia 950 / 950 …
A popular request for Apple users has come to life. According to Xcode, the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have 2GB of RAM, while the iPad Pro has 4 GB. I wonder what’s the reason behind the growth in RAM memory. Cost is probably not an issue (maybe the 1GB chips were obsolete?), but …

If you pretend to be succesful in technology, you have to surprise us first. Do it at any cost. Present the smaller (or bigger) next big thing, the cheapest (or even the most expensive), or the one with that technology advance that seems unavoidable. You’ve got our attention. Now prove that feature really pays off. …

I think this article from Vanity Fair gives us several good arguments that can’t be easily denied. Too many companies with dubious business plans that seem to solve …
The new Polaroid Snap is a digital camera that instantly prints photos without using any ink. Others have tried before -Polaroid did too– and although the device seems fun and interesting, most people feels fine about not having printed copies wich, by the way, aren’t cheap with this technology ($15 for a 30 pack).
