• Samsung hints Retina Display-worthy tablet LCDs around 2013: Don't hold your breath for a Retina display iPad 3 this year, people.

• Windows Phone 7 Update schedule arrives: stinks for AT&T users: It's pretty insane how much trouble Microsoft is having updating their premier mobile platform. They're really going to have to fix this if they want to compete.

• Mac OS X Turns Ten Years Old - Mac Rumors: The sucess of Mac OS X was not a sure thing when the project started, or even when the OS came out. But after what surely must have been a tremendous effort on the part of Apple's Mac OS X team, Mac OS X went from a longshot to a successful reality.

• Google's Honeycomb Hideout: Business Week, on the open source status of Android Honeycomb:

  "[Andy] Rubin says that if Google were to open-source the Honeycomb code now, as it has with other versions of Android at similar periods in their development, it couldn't prevent developers from putting the software on phones 'and creating a really bad user experience. We have no idea if it will even work on phones.'"

  That sounds like the exact opposite of "open", doesn't it?
