Why Tablets Are Tanking

November 9, 2015

Boy, we really have gone full circle on tablets -- and not just once. Back when the Windows tablets first came to market, a whole bunch of us predicted it wouldn't be long before they replaced all of the notebooks. I don't think they even made it to 10 percent before the tablet market collapsed, and...

So What's Really the Best Smartphone?

October 5, 2015

The best smartphone on the market is the iPhone, right? That is the conventional wisdom.
