Just the basics: 12.10, Unity and a background from Deviantart.
Hence the problem: Huawei is cleaning up on cheaper phones.
Profits are down 79% quarter versus quarter. Far from healthy.
Huawei is offering prepaid Android phones in the US/UK for $99/£99. But they're really killing HTC in Asia where HTC made the decision not to compete in the low-end market. Add to this Apple and...
Not really. Huwei is selling Androidish phones for half the price HTC is The small amount any licensing adds isn't going to make a difference one way or another.
Nope. HTC's problem is not licensing but the fact companies like Huwei are seriously undercutting it in price.
Doesn't matter how good the quality is, if they don't make money selling the things the company will stop selling them. Nokia was widely recognized as making the best built phones available, and now...
Samsung is the only other smartphone maker aside from Apple showing any serious profit. HTC's profits are in freefall.
Apple will survive. Samsung is the only other smartphone manufacturer making decent products. IBM and Oracle are safe in the corporate world.
Dell and HP are caught in the race to the bottom which...
I think IBM got out of the consumer space because it's not their core competency. What they excel at is business to business, and their revenue is all structured for long-term deals, whether its...
So, one US company controls one quarter of the global mobile computing space? That's pretty impressive.
The presentation I linked to shows both iOS and Android.
The XBox really only sold well in the US. In Europe the Wii sold twice as many units, and in Japan the Wii sold ten times as many and the PS3 sold about six times as many. Even in the US the Wii...
The problem isn't the amount of money they have, it's their corporate leadership and the fact the company is wedded to the Windows/Office revenue stream. If you break down Microsoft's financials...
To add to this, I think it might be a generational thing. I'm 42. I've usually owned desktops. At the moment I have two, and I don't need a laptop as my phone is fine for mu mobile needs. My brother...
I see no proof for your assertions. You would need to provide figures to convince me, and I don't think you will find them. For a simple reason, look at the steady ramp up of smartphone penetration...
Sales numbers pretty do much tell the whole story: most people don't need six cores and 16 GB of RAM.
Now, I'm with you. I love my desktop. But I also am pretty sure I can see what's coming.
Desktops are already dying. Look at the sales breakdowns for the big computer makers and you'll see desktop are now accounting for less than 25% or total sales and falling. Additionally, Apple aside,...
Well said. Thanks for that.
And I agree. The vast majority of computer users don't want to know anything about the insides of their machines. They want it to start up and work with as few problems...
It might be technically feasible, but I don't know if there's enough call for it to make anyone take on the work. Obviously, there's much more Windows software out there than there is software for...
The article makes some valid points: Microsoft's problems are long-term and structural, and the very things which made it so successful--the ubiquity of Windows and Office--have now become problems,...
Upgraded to 12.10. Much better in my (virtual) environment.
Non-destructive filters.
Smart objects.
Layer sets.
Metadata.
The list goes on.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I can read 400 pages a day.
Makes sense to me: people like the hardware but want to use the OS they're used to. I've seen some people doing that here. I'm pretty sure Apple's desktop presence in China, while growing, is pretty...
I just use the manufacturer-supplied color profile for my monitor.
Which is ironic, considering that people who buy a machine with Windows installed, only to wipe and install Linux, aren't counted either.
