Partly due to Apple’s legal endeavors, and partly due to patent trolls, the United States patent system has come into question over the past few years. While some people call for reforms, others express their view of the Uni...
I hadn’t really thought of it this way before but, if you think about it, we (and by “we” I mean Western society) do spend a lot of money on food — especially eating out. However, when it comes to software,...
Does it seem like ads are becoming increasingly popular? I mean, it seems like more and more companies are moving towards using ads (targeted or otherwise) as a way to raise revenue. The question is — when will they stop? Ho...
We have had plenty of Apple bashing here on dotTech. For example, back in October I shared an infographic that laid out the ideas Apple stole/borrowed from other companies or people. However, as much as we may bash Apple, it never...
