Not enough EU!

I believe Microsoft got off easy. Microsoft should have been forced to either:

• Support Web-standards as does all major browsers <- IE still lacks proper PNG support!
  
• Unbundle IE
• Open source IE <- should be worth a few laughs

What would have been better is if Microsoft was split into two or more companies. Never in human history did an incompetent and evil company dominate abusively so much market share.
Plus the whole world, not only the EU, should get the ballot screen.

Chrome kills Firefox by extension(s)

Google Chrome is not only overall better than Firefox, it now supports extensions (yes, including for blocking ads) and in a whole new and better way. Extensions are basically a web page, run as separate processes, and can be installed, uninstalled, enabled and disabled without restarting Chrome, they can also be killed from Chrome's task manager. What this means for you, Google and the extension developer, is extensions are instantly available after submission unless they use native code or access the file system. Google still retains a kill-switch for any extension that is found to be malicious, which as far as I'm concerned is a good thing.
So basically Google not only perfected a browser for Windows, Mac and Linux/X/GNU, but they also perfected extensions. I only wish I had Chrome on my iPhone.

The death of the PSP

After its comeback year, and new hardware the PSP still languishes at the bottom of the hardware and software sales; for the simple reason of the hardware being severely flawed. It is time for Sony to admit defeat and pull out of the handheld market. Even the strength of the Playstation brand and the rabid fanboyism assoicated with it couldn't stop if from failing epically. Just imagine if the PSP hadn't relied on the Playstation's recognition and brain-dead fans to help with its sales, it would have suffered a greater sales disaster than the Atari Lynx.

Mozilla lies!

Firefox Mobile doesn't have the fastest Javascript engine, and when developing for web why would I want Firefox Mobile instead of Safari Mobile? WebKit implements more standards than Gecko, and is constantly faster in all benchmarks.
Firefox sucks, and Firefox Mobile wont be any better.
Plus why wont I just use Safari instead of Firefox to access web apps? Firefox isn't gonna be faster than Safari in Javascript anytime soon. They also forgot that the iPhone already has web apps that can be accessed using Safari.

Zune HD a sales disaster!

After so much hype and the initial influx of buyers Zune HD sales, predictably, has slowed to a near crawl. Sexy as the hardware maybe, I not-so-secretly do want one, several key weaknesses contributed to its early decline. Three of them, for me, are lack of Mac OS X support, lack of a usable browser and lack of apps. So the Zune HD, at best, is an iPod nano competitor.
Using publicaly available sales data from Amazon.com it becomes apparent how much of a disaster the Zune HD is. The 32GB is 16th in sales and the 16GB is 28th. The top 20 obviously are all iPods except for the Sansa Fuze at 11 and the 32GB Zune HD at 16.
Microsoft truly blew its chance to not just make a comeback but to also take on the handheld gaming world. Better for them to re-release the Zune HD with hardware buttons and focus it as a PSP competitor. They have no chance against either DS nor iPod touch.
