The hacking collective Anonymous claimed responsibility on Monday for hacking Burger King’s Twitter account, filling it with drug references and changing the name to McDonalds. On the surface it was, admittedly, a bit humorous. There’s a deeper story here, though, and it’s the risks that…

Look, I know I’m an anxious person, but it’s been a long time since a phone made me feel a bit frustrated. I know that I’m still getting used to BlackBerry 10, so I’m not writing this as a final judgement in any sense, but…

Nokia will hold a press conference at Mobile World Congress next month, presumably to announce a new flagship Lumia handset. Last year, in 2012, the company unveiled its monster 808 PureView, so perhaps that’s enough precedence to expect that “true PureView Windows Phone” we’ve heard…

RIM sat on the sidelines with headlines bashing not only its financial performance, but its products, for the past few years. It hung out on the bench drinking Gatorade while Apple, Android and even Windows Phone took to the field and shined in the spotlight.…

Apple announced a brand new 128GB iPad this morning. Now, I understand that while reading my headline you’re probably asking yourself: What do you mean who needs a 128GB iPad? Isn’t more space a good thing? Yes, you’re right. Additional space and new options are…

Apple’s latest earnings are out, and people are howling. Theories abound, predictions are flying. Analysts are scratching their heads. It’s time to shakedown the company’s core—right? Nowhere in tech is there a more divisive topic; is the company in trouble? Is Apple the new RIM?…
