Dell Quits Netbooks 

Joanna Stern:

Dell’s Marketing Director Alison Gardner was very clear about the strategy: “Thin and powerful is where it is at for us.”

Remember when Apple “needed” to start making netbooks? Good times.

Flash Player 11.1 Arrives for Android Ice Cream Sandwich 

Daniel Ionescu, reporting for PCWorld:

The latest Android Flash player has a few known issues, however. StageVideo using On2 and Sorenson does not work on ICS devices, and Seeking while video is paused will not update the frame on ICS device. Also, the OS does not prioritize incoming calls, so audio remains playing before and after call is received, and the enter key does not work on the multi-line text input field.

Happy birthday, Jesus. Hope you like crap.
