iPhone 5 to have 4-inch screen?

According to a source close to 9to5Mac who's working at Foxconn, there are a few pre-production handsets of the next iPhone, currently being called the iPhone 5, circling around. While differing in size and overall design by a bit, most of these sample handsets have one thing in common: a screen size of 4-inches or bigger, and that it has a straight body design, not a teardrop shape that tapers on one end (like the MacBook Air).

Are you excited about Microsoft Windows 8?

At Microsoft's BUILD conference in California in September last year the company showed off Windows 8 and gave us a lot of information about what the next generation of its operating system will be like. Even though Windows 7 has been a big sales success, concerns about slow uptake, especially in businesses, have popped up from time to time.

In the latest worldwide figures from StatCounter about desktop operating systems, Windows 7 has the lead over Windows XP, a situation that it has just recently acquired (in October 2011). That means an OS released in October 2009 has just passed an OS released in 2001. Surely that can't be a very comforting situation for Redmond.
