  • iPad to come to India on January 28th: Better late than never? I think that Apple needs to get a lot more aggressive in getting its products distributed in every country around the world, or Android is really going to start eating their lunch.

  • Super Bowl XLV, Packers and Steelers, is one for history books: Peter King, on the Bears performance in yesterday's NFC title game:

    "There's no question that the defense did its part, allowing only 14 points in 13 Green Bay offensive drives. (The winning points game from a B.J. Raji interception return for touchdown in the fourth quarter.) Point of emphasis here: Green Bay had the ball 34 times against the Bears in three games this year, not including three kneel-down series. Chicago held the Packers to five touchdowns and 41 points total. That's winning defense.

    That means the Chicago offense, which scored 13, 3 and 14 points, respectively (not including a Devin Hester punt return for touchdown in the first meeting), just didn't do its job. Thirty offensive points in three games. Awful.

    Couldn't agree more. Here's hoping for a better 2011.

  • Dell Venue review: Engadget gives the new Dell Android phone an 8 out 10, but notes this caveat:

    "Even the Venue's headphone mode isn't perfect -- we get a fair amount of static noise when our earphones are plugged in; whereas our other phones produce a much cleaner audio through the same buds. Audiophiles need not apply here."

    You've got to be kidding me. That sounds like it would be absolutely maddening in practice.

  • Tim Cook’s Auburn Commencement: Joining Apple best decision he ever made: Great, inspiring speech.

  • Apple Calls Android Tablets 'Vapor' - and It Isn't Just Hot Air: This is why I'm skeptical of the supposed February 17th launch date for the Motorola Xoom.
