Stardock CEO: Windows 8 is ’schizophrenic’

Microsoft is busy working the kinks out of Windows 8 in time for a big fall release, but Stardock CEO Brad Wardell is in no rush to see the new operating system hit the PC scene — at least as is.

IDC: smart devices will top 1 billion this year, doubling by 2016

The smart revolution is in full swing, but based on new research from IDC it’s only getting started. The firm says more than 1 billion web-ready smartphones, tablets, TVs, video game consoles and PCs will ship worldwide this year. That figure is expected to hit 1.84 billion by 2016.

Best Buy to shutter 50 superstores & open 100 small shops

Best Buy announced on Thursday that it plans to axe 50 U.S. stores, lay off 400 employees and slash $250 million in overall spending by 2013. The drastic measures follow a less-than-exceptional fourth quarter performance report for the retail giant — one more sign that big box stores may be fast approaching their twilight years.

Recently unveiled documents indicate Sony is preparing a Vaio laptop that will run Google’s Chrome OS instead of Windows. If this ends up being official it would mark another big name company putting out a Chromebook which Google must be hoping will improve the visibility of their platform.

Report: Ivy Bridge ultrabooks, new Windows 8 info a shoe-in for trade show

Computex Taipei, the annual trade show held in Taiwan’s capital city, brings together IT industry heavyweights from around the world.

According to insiders, that’s not the only surprise in store.

Windows 8 has a bad rap. Some believe Microsoft’s new OS is designed solely for tablets and portable PCs — devices that have recently captured the attention, and dollars, of millions of consumers — while stalwart desktop users are left in the lurch. Not so, claims David Washington, Microsoft senior program manager. Your screen size won’t matter, he says.

Strong second half of 2012 predicted for PCs thanks to Windows 8

Supporting previous research, IDC analysts suggest the general PC market will see greater growth to developing nations, exploding from 201.2 million last year to nearly 323 million by 2016. Mature markets including the U.S. and Europe are expected to only post single-digit growth over the next five years, with vendors adding around 43 million desktop and portable PCs to last year’s 152 million.

‘Weak’ PC shipments expected to continue in 2012

The PC industry crossed the 2011 finishing line with a 1.4 percent year-over-year shipment drop while its new nemesis, Apple’s iPad, posted record sales numbers. Gartner analysts expect that trend to reverse this year, though not by much.

In an interview between Forbes and CD Projekt CEO Marcin Iwinski, Iwinski said the truth is that DRM simply does not work.
