These two-line-articles are essentially troll-/flamebait. Since most of the readers/commentators won't look up the source and the "article" does not reveal any of the important background information (failure to comply to a previous ruling when SP1 shipped) you just spread FUD. Mere facts without or out of context may…

I don't know exactly why but I think I will buy one (my first tablet). What kept me from buying tablets was the feeling that they are in general "useless" (i.e. unproductive) – but there are enough nice, dull things you can do with them. And perhaps I can convince myself that I will be reading more textbooks on that…

It's two years old – but perhaps I can recreate it. (my eye btw)

"Superior"

Challenge accepted.

I don't about the US, but in cold hard numbers from the world's fourth largest music market: 73,8% of music sales revenue in 2011 in Germany were generated from CD music albums (downloads 14,4%, streaming 1,7%). Music-CDs are not dead, and Video-DVDs are neither. Even if the avantgarde technophile geekosphere may…

I once had a friendly conversation with a meat inspector who was controlling meat quality as well as health standards. I asked him about McDonald's' meat and he said they were among the best, with the strictest internal controls and regulations. He argued that people are already wary against fast food and the…

iMessage has been so unreliable (late or never arriving messages) compared to SMS that most of my iPhone-owning friends have deactivated the service (including myself).

What exactly is "iPod out"? Has this anything to do with remote controls? I have a Tom Tom car kit and a Sony clock with a dock connector and would like to know if they are in any way compatible. Size could be an issue with the car kit - but I'd rather find a way around it than replace it.

Duh! How should you connect to this cloud when so few devices have that "thunderbolt" connection?

"TOTO - There's no place like home"

I wonder what the price point is. Remember: Apple still offers the generation-before devices at $100 discount. If it is a non-Retina device with iPad2 guts – and therefore competing with the $199 Nexus 7, $299 may be a bit steep.

After the verdict both parties reviewed the jury's decisions to any formal errors and how the sum was composed (no, the sum is not random, but constitutes itself from the alleged damages Apple suffered by Samsung's respective devices). Samsung was "fined" for the Galaxy Tab, but not deemed to infringe a patent. So the…

Well, we shouldn't forget that Samsung is a key partner of Apple and delivers a lot of the iDevices' internals. So a large order of chips, flash memory and especially 10" panels might arouse interest to other divisions. They may not need an official announcement to know what an "Apple tablet" will look like or in what…

For DVB-T you only need an internal antenna (depending on signal strength, external) and a set-top box. Modern TVs have the units build in. But you can only receive a few programmes.

Well, you could just use DVB-T and watch local television. In Germany ARD and ZDF, both publicly financed, broadcast the Olympics and are available in every area.

The display of my white 2006 iMac. It is just perfect in my eyes. But unfortunately the attached computer doesn't fit today's needs as a primary computer and you can't attach any external devices to it.

I like Moleskine notebooks but they are just too expensive. I'd rather go with "lesser" brands / no-name brands. All that matters is their functionality; who cares what brand the paper is you write on.

Do you see any new trends in technology or scientific discoveries that will impact our lives in the next decades but are widely underappreciated? (like new materials, or light field, 3D printers at home, ...). Or put simply: What are the great things you expect from the not-too-distant future, technology-wise?

Another alternative would be Walimex' offering: cheap, manual-only, 8mm and 3.5.
