From the «all just marketing ploy» department:
Title: There's no such thing as post-PC

The post-PC era is a term that was made popular by Apple at its introduction of
the iPad in 2010, and one that a lot of people took to mean the PC will
eventually die and tablets and smartphones will take its place. The PC isn't
exactly healthy right now, but it's also nowhere near death, no matter how many
stories try to exaggerate its continued decline. I've never been a fan of the
term "post-PC era", since it's obviously just a marketing ploy.
