For years, our offices have been dominated by two types of computers: PCs and Macs. Fans have compared, dissected, cheered, and mocked desktops and notebooks from both camps--and the debate over which is most useful has simmered down to an uneasy truce.
If you're the type of person who can never have too much cloud storage, Microsoft just added a nice deal: 100GB of OneDrive storage as a Bing Reward offer.
When one considers the wealth of inexpensive Android tablets available, the idea of paying $750 for a 12-inch Android tablet seems inconceivable. But if now isn't the time for consumers to start thinking of large Android tablets as legitimate Windows laptop replacements, that day isn't far off.
If nothing else, we all know what WhatsApp is now.
Simply put, Nokia's latest Windows Phone, the $200 Lumia Icon for Verizon, is solid. It's solidly built, and sits solidly atop all other available Windows Phones. And, yes, it even ships with a solid app lineup, with most of its software bearing the Nokia name.

Apple outspent Samsung on semiconductor purchases by more than $8 billion in 2013, as it snapped up more chips than any other company in the technology business.
Devices and services. Devices and services. Until a new chief executive says differently, this is Microsoft's mantra. But the success of the Xbox aside, the company still has a lot to learn about hardware devices and their attendant ecosystems.
Oh, what a year to forget
Intel is here at CES pushing the idea that we will interact with our PCs in far easier and smarter ways in the near future. And if the company's new Kinect-like camera interface is any guide, voice and gesture interaction with PCs might indeed be just about ready for prime time.
