  4. 10 things I hated about the iPad in 2010 ... are they still an issue now?

    Blogs on ZDnet &bull Dec 15, 2011

    Note: I'm still using the same iPad I was a year ago (I haven't upgraded to the iPad 2), but here I will look at the changes present in the updated model, as well as the new iOS 5 software. I still feel that the App Store update mechanism of having to update the entire app is wasteful in terms of both time and bandwidth but two changes that Apple have made have made the process a lot less painful. One app can be downloading to the iPad while another is installing - this iOS 5 feature has significantly decreased… Full Story »

  6. Microsoft opens instant-messaging for all comers

    Gadget Posts on News Blog &bull Dec 15, 2011

    In a move that would have been shocking a decade ago, Microsoft has made it possible for others' instant-messaging software to tap into its Windows Live Messenger. Instant-messaging networks--the big ones are run by Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL--once were well-defended strongholds, and developers of third-party programs like Trillian had to work hard to reverse-engineer their inner workings.

  10. Microsoft to begin automatic Internet Explorer upgrades in 2012

    Blogs on ZDnet &bull Dec 15, 2011

    Summary: In a major policy change, Microsoft plans to deliver IE upgrades automatically to Windows users. That moves IE incrementally closer to its fast-paced competitors, although there are still enough exceptions to keep enterprise users happy. Automatic browser updates will begin rolling out worldwide in Australia and Brazil and will gradually scale up to additional countries and continents over time. Customers running Windows 7 and Windows Vista will be updated to Internet Explorer 9. Those who are using Windows XP will get Internet Explorer 8-the highest version available for that platform. The new policy represents a major change for Redmond,… Full Story »

  11. The Web in 2012: Five predictions, starting with IE10

    Gadget Posts on News Blog &bull Dec 15, 2011

    After simmering for a few years last decade, the Web has been a frenzy of activity in the last few years. Developers are advancing what can be done, people are spending more time on the Web, and browser makers are locked in intense competition. Broadly speaking, it's easy to see that Web technology will get more important and more sophisticated. But if for some detail, here are my five predictions for what'll happen next year. IE10 knocks our socks off Internet Explorer 9 was the warning shot across the bow for Web developers and rival browser makers, but Microsoft was… Full Story »

    Blogs on ZDnet &bull Dec 14, 2011

    Summary: Sometimes my fellow ZDNetters hit the mark and other times, like this one, reality seems to be something only shown on television. My ZDNet colleague, James Kendrick wrote, "Secret behind Microsoft iPad apps," but got it totally wrong. Sorry, James, but you're wrong on this one-way, way off, in fact. I know this because, like James, I started with Microsoft's earliest products… Full Story »

  20. Home cloud: Hands-on with the new Pogoplug Series 4

    Gadget Posts on News Blog &bull Dec 14, 2011

    The new Pogoplug Series 4 is a device that looks to take the best of cloud computing and home network-attached storage and combine the two into a seamless experience. Available today, it certainly seems like a perfectly timed idea in the wake of seemingly daily frustrations with services like Apple's own iCloud and iTunes Match. Maybe the fourth time's a charm: I've reviewed multiple Pogoplugs before, but none of them came close to what this new version offers. The Pogoplug is a NAS drive without the complications, and it's finally hit a sweet spot for price, size, and feature set.… Full Story »
