Bill Gates on the iPad “They can’t type, they can’t create documents, they don’t have Office there.”
Last time I checked, the lack of Office on iPad was nothing to do with Apple or the device. What a stupid thing to say.

Facebook deserted by millions of users in biggest markets Facebook’s dominance in the social media world has come under threat from newer services such as Instagram and Path
Elements of this article are sound – I do think this poses a risk and a problem, but FB losing users to Path? Stupid, and to say that Facebook is losing users to Instagram, a FB-owned business, is also a very silly thing to write and totally undermines your article message. Just invites trolling.

Nintendo posts loss again as Wii U misses expectations Sam Byford:
Nintendo made an operating loss in 2012 for the second consecutive year as its new Wii U console failed to spark excitement among consumers. The company lost 36.4 billion yen ($366 million) over the 2012 fiscal year; last quarter, the company unexpectedly predicted that it would lose $220 million in 2012 after previously saying it would turn the same amount in profit. The Wii U has sold 3.45 million units worldwide to date, missing Nintendo’s goal of 4 million units for the financial year — itself a lowered expectation after the company initially predicted it would sell 5.5 million systems. Three months ago, Nintendo announced worldwide Wii U sales of 3.06 million.
Say it with me: i - O - S.
Ninten-d’oh!

iPhone 6 Regardless of how big of an improvement the next iPhone is, Apple should just call it the iPhone 6 and give the finger to anyone who questions whether the name fits.
As Siracusa said - release it in many colours and call it the iPhone 6. Big enough differentiator to most people, though bloggers will still trash it.
Everything rides on iOS innovation.
