It is said that Google may launch Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie in October and we’re hoping that they’ll use the opportunity to unveil the next Nexus smartphone. And that’s the subject of this post – imagining, or rather wishful thinking, what the upcoming Nexus 5 could have under the hood. Basically, we want it…
Option-click Restore. Find and choose the iOS 7 IPSW. Install. My iPhone 5 brings me through a very quick set-up process, then I come to a screen that says “Welcome to iPhone” with the text “OK” underneath. It’s just thin, black text on a white background and nothing more. I guess “OK” is a button.…
Yesterday I said that what many users would like to see is a single platform from Apple, one that would merge iOS and Mac OS. Today, I want to focus on Windows; we want a single Windows – not one for phones, one for tablets and one for computers. After Xbox One, we need Windows…
Sure, the new iOS 7 is cool (or not – depending on your point of view) but we want more. While we see it as in important step forward in the evolution of the platform, what we ultimately want to see is one Apple OS that would merge iOS and Mac OS. When you use…

Look at the Apple iPhone and iPad to get the idea of what I mean. There are more accessories available for the iPhone than any other smartphone out…
You may know that the Nexus 10 comes with a Pogo port at the bottom which as far as Google (or that’s Samsung) is/are concerned shouldn’t be used at all. Sure, you can grab a third-party Pogo charger, but where’s my dock? Heck, I don’t want just any dock — like the one that was…
Last night, the All Things Digital: D11 conference kicked off with a live interview of Apple CEO Tim Cook by journalists Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. The interview covered a wide variety of topics from Apple’s view on taxes, its falling stock, a potential Apple television, wearable tech, Apple’s “cool” factor, and more. There was…
