A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Were they wrong somewhere? I mean, come on, a smartphone without 3G or third-party apps? The Eee PC, who has ever heard of it after it was released? HD, we still have 720p and 1080i living 15 years later while you can buy an 8K TV for $500 in the store next door. Nobody uses Facebook any more. And the Wii that everybody bought was a lifeless piece of furniture three months later.
