Remember OS/2? Promoted as the successor to DOS in the late 1980's and early 1990's, the product wound up losing out to Windows and then slowly fading away. This article recounts what happened and summarizes OS/2 today.

And there we are - the Surface Pro reviews are in. Reading through them all, there's clearly a common theme, and it's not particularly positive. We're a few months in now, so I think we can finally call it: Windows 8 and Surface are the wrong way to go. 3??Read More ? 99 Comment(s) Battle of the Androids: Google Android vs. Samsung Android
Linked by Alexey Eromenko on 02/01/13 21:52 UTC
Many people think that all Androids are equal and it's a race to the bottom where the cheapest vendor wins. This could not be farther from the truth. For me, it all began half-a-year ago, when I bought the Samsung Galaxy S III and was absolutely stunned by it, then exploring and comparing it with other Androids. Now that Google has fired a shot across the bow with its low pricing for the unlocked Nexus 4, where does that leave Samsung and its flagship handset? 0??Read More ? 65 Comment(s) Windows Phone 7.8: hollow, pointless, and essentially useless Linked by Thom Holwerda on 02/01/13 18:25 UTC
A few days ago, Microsoft released the long-awaited Windows Phone 7.8 update for all those users who will be stuck on Windows Phone 7 forever because there's no upgrade path to Windows Phone 8 other than buying a new phone. Now that it's here, what, exactly, does WP7.8 to the table? 7??Read More ? 81 Comment(s) Blackberry 10, new devices officially launched Linked by Thom Holwerda on 01/30/13 23:06 UTC
And so, today, RIM announced its Hail Mary - a brand new mobile operating system (well, sort-of new), as well as two new devices. In addition, the Canadian company also officially changed its name from Research In Motion to Blackberry. The first few reviews of Blackberry 10 are already out, and it's not bad. The problem, however, is that in the case of Blackberry, 'not bad' could easily mean 'not good enough'. 0??Read More ? 77 Comment(s) Steam for Linux is in open beta Linked by boldingd on 01/29/13 23:12 UTC
It seems to have so far escaped OSNews' notice (if the top few hits for a site-search for 'Steam' is any indication) that Steam for Linux is now in Open Beta; you can get the Linux steam client from steampowered.com. So far, they appear to only be making an Ubuntu .deb available, and the client will require closed-source GPU drivers in order to work. 5??Read More ? 74 Comment(s) The end of the line for Symbian Linked by Thom Holwerda on 01/25/13 14:20 UTC
Buried deep within Nokia's press release about its financial results, there's a line that pretty much signals the end of one of the most popular and successful mobile operating systems in history. With Nokia retiring its use, Symbian is no more. 0??Read More ? 86 Comment(s) Jobs', Schmidt's, Otellini's shady no-poaching agreements Linked by Thom Holwerda on 01/23/13 11:37 UTC
Back in 2010, Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, and a few others settled with the US Department of Justice regarding their anti-poaching agreements concerning employees. While the CEOs did a good job of escaping possible prosecution, the affected employees filed a class action lawsuit about this, and judge Lucy Koh has just unsealed a number of emails concerning this case. They paint a pretty grim picture of Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt engaging in mafia practices, threatening smaller companies with patent litigation if they didn't agree to the no-poaching agreements, or demanding to handle matters verbally as to not leave a paper trail. 6??Read More ? 56 Comment(s) On the rise of digital design Linked by Thom Holwerda on 01/20/13 23:42 UTC
Ever since I bought my HTC HD7 way back in October 2010, I have been hooked on Windows Phone. Without even being able to test-drive the new operating system (The Netherlands didn't get Windows Phone 7 until a year later), I imported the HD7 from the US - the minimalist, stark, clean, flat, and textual interface spoke to me, and I just knew I would like it. And like it, I did. 4??Read More ? 63 Comment(s) Opera unveils its new mobile browser, based on WebKit Linked by Thom Holwerda on 01/19/13 14:22 UTC
This is actually pretty big news - both exciting and tragic at the same time. Opera has revealed Opera Ice, its next mobile browser, to PocketLint. This new browser represent a big shift in both user interface as well as rendering engine, since it has a new, unique interface, as well as a new rendering engine... New to Opera, that is, as it's a WebKit-browser. 2??Read More ? 139 Comment(s) Source: http://osnews.com/story/26781/Hey_Microsoft_it_s_time_to_pull_phone_into_Windows
