The fault for today’s failure with Windows Mobile can ultimately be laid at the feet of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, who failed to nurture their mobile OS when it needed it the most. That article's title could be ended at so many spots and still be accurate

Still amazes me that in 2006, Microsoft owned 99% of the handheld space, yet did next to nothing with CE 6 for five years. Trying to deal with them was a nightmare.
Ironically, Windows 10 IoT core is pretty damn cool.

It was the IE6 story all over again. They gobbled the entire market, declared victory, disbanded the development team, and then the leadership sat around with their thumbs up their *ahem* until the competition caught up and ate them for lunch.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft today announced the launch of Draft, a new open-source tool that helps developers streamline the processes of developing container-based applications that are meant to run on Kubernetes clusters. Draft? Because someone left the Windows open?

Draft?
Because voluntary compliance didn't fly.

Draft because people don't wanted bottled apps.

Smartphones are already computers in our pockets, but Intel’s new Compute Card turns an actual PC into something you can take with you wherever you go. Does it come with a PCMCIA slot?

Sort of cool, but an rPi or similar is a LOT cheaper, and pretty much the same bang for the buck, IMO.

Good decision!
I'm suspecting that this will spell the end of the era of £50 printers and £100 cartridge refills, taking us back to saner days when we paid the bulk of the cost of a printer upfront. Presumably then, a good time to go out and buy a "cheap-as-chips" printer before the manufacturers restructure their pricing models ...

More likely is stop making the cheap printers and cartridges to force all users to buy new, higher priced printers and THEN make cheap cartridges.

Yes, fair point!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a slightly different prediction. It will likely stop the cheap printers and force all users to buy new, higher priced printers.
The cartridges on the other hand will likely remain expensive and the manufacturers will make threats about how using generic or refilled ones will void your warranty. Or like HP they will add some sort of verification tech to make it annoying to use anything but their "official" ones.
