Microsoft had an event recently, where they showed us the new Xbox One gaming console, that is now even more than that. It's a complete HTPC too with TV, video, music and gaming. Everything controlled by gestures and voice. Really cool. No need for a remote ;)

I was quite impressed by the TV features and the navigation of the system. But sadly we will probably not see all this feature here in Europe or Sweden where I live. They were very US specific and tightly integrated into their TV channels. So how will Microsoft solve that problem?

How do they think people in Europe will buy the Xbox One without all the features working?

I don't get it? I am sure the Xbox One will be quite expensive, and personally I won't buy it if not all these features is working here where I live...

Unfortunately the Xbox One is not backward compatible with Xbox... more »

This is the next step for Google to create Chrome OS on any platform or computer. Very exciting! We can soon run the complete Chrome OS directly on any computer. Love it! Google, please hurry launching this for the Mac version of Chrome too ;)

A new rumor says that Apple will integrate Flickr and Vimeo directly into iOS 7. That means that it will be possible to share to these two services too. That is exactly as I predicted over a year ago that Apple would do. I even said that I believed that Apple will buy Vimeo when they throw out YouTube from iOS.

But this is the wrong way doing it. I don't get it why Apple needs to control this feature so hard? Why not do it like it works in Android? So that every app or service we use will be able to share to, instead of only be able to share to the services Apple choose for us...
So for example if a user install the Google+ app, then Google+ would show up as an option to share to in any app. What's the reason to why Apple want to control this? I can't see any reason at all..

Very stupid. If this is true, then iOS 7 still will be very boring. And what... more »

About the new Xbox One: "Until now, the television viewing experience has been a one-way street for the viewer." And that's going to change, she says. You'll get better recommendations, and "TV will become social in ways unknown to us today."

I don't get it why Android users refuse to pay for apps. As long as they have that attitude, then we won't get any good professional apps because the developers wants to earn money, they want revenue for their apps. They will stick to develop these great professional apps for iOS instead.

I often recommend Android apps (and also iOS apps), but I almost always get some comments like: "Oh, it costs money, is there a free option too?" And I don't get it? Why?
I think great nice looking apps is worth paying for.

Android still doesn't have any good professional video editing apps for example, while iOS at least have 4 different. Android only has total junk, spam and total worthless video editing apps. I mean, we will never get any good apps for Android if the users refuse to pay for them.

The attitude of Android users need to change.

I wish this release was for my Galaxy S3 4G (GT-i9305) too... Sigh, I probably have to wait much longer. That's the punishment it get for having Quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and LTE ;)
