By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Well, the tech world has been pretty slow lately, in case you haven’t noticed. No major product announcements since iPad Mini and no exciting billion dollar acquisitions to report. On days like this, it is always nice to hear from one of the smarter people of our generation, just how he views the world. You can say Jobs…

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) If you were within twenty miles of the worldwide web this week, you must have heard that Steven Sinofsky, the president of both Microsoft’s Windows and Windows Live divisions, is leaving the company, effective immediately.

No, I am not talking about Obama winning the elections, I am referring to Microsoft’s new platform, Windows 8. Microsoft has led the PC space (PC, as in Personal Computers, not PC/Mac) since,…

Did you hear about their earnings last quarter??” To that, I say, some perspective please. Net sales $9.5 billion, 83 million phones sold, 6.5 million smartphones sold, and that’s right before a huge…

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) So much has been said about the iPad Mini and its price point. Some, like me, are pretty disturbed by it, others defend it. Here is the bottom line. It has a lower resolution display than its closest competitor, the Nexus 7. “Well, at least its faster, right?” Wrong. Slower processor too. “But Android is such…

By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) Well, the iPad Mini is out and as I wrote yesterday, secrecy is no longer an option. There were close to no surprises at all when it came to the announcement. But that is ok, although I am sure Apple doesn’t love it. As opposed to previous Apple announcements, I did not tune in to the…
