At the Apps World North America conference in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gave WIRED a wide-ranging interview, touching on everything from his preferred iPhone 5s color (he has all three) to the fictional operating system in the movie Her. But his most interesting comment by far was a heretical recommendation for his former company: Apple, he thinks, should release an Android handset. Sure, and Microsoft should ship a Linux distro

Apple ship an Android handset? What on Earth is Mr. Wozniak smoking? (No, I don't want some. The only time I would be caught smoking is if I had been set on fire.)

Why not? According to many in the industry, the Android OS is clearly better than iOS. It being open source, they could probably remove any dependency on anything Google.

The hub control, available for both HTML/CSS/JavaScript and XAML/C++/C#/Visual Basic, makes it easy for you to present heterogeneous content in a beautiful and meaningful way. The info can be in the form of lists, text, videos, links and images. Oh good. I've been wondering what to do with all this heterogeneous data I have lying around

Since launching modern.IE last year, developers have saved over 1 million hours testing for Internet Explorer! We launched modern.IE with the simple aim of helping web developers test their sites with IE and are thrilled to find that the site has made a real impact after just one year. Step 1: ship browser that follows standards. Step 2: declare victory

The enigmatic and oppressively difficult mobile game Flappy Bird has turned into quite the cash cow for Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen. In an interview with The Verge, Nguyen revealed that the game, which has been sitting atop the App Store and Google Play Store charts for nearly a month, is earning on average $50,000 a day from in-app ads. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

Google is working on a minimal environment that allows Chrome packaged apps to run without requiring the whole Chrome process. Currently called app_shell, this is still an experimental project, but the broader goal appears to be minimizing the resources required to run Chrome apps. They can call it Chlash, or maybe Chilverlight

The once-indomitable Windows empire is in a phase of slow decline. While Windows still is far and away the world’s leading desktop software, the growth within the computing industry has shifted over to smartphones and tablets that run on iOS and Android. Yeah. A "second class citizen" that pulls in more money than most can ever hope to

Enough of bullshit like this, if anyone seriously considers a mobile operating system will be more useful than a operating system for desktops/laptops then they should find a new section of journalism to write about.

The majority of infrastructure in the world still runs on Windows XP, including 95% of ATMs. That alone should disqualify Windows from being considered a "second-class citizen." At least for the moment. Once XP finally kicks the bucket, who knows.
