Q3 would have been the slowest quarter. Even if you want a iphone 4s you'd be dumb to buy it that close to the iphone 5 launch and lose the lower price. But despite the fact many people would have been waiting for iphone 5, Apple still managed to get within 1.8 million units of Samsung's best offering with old and less powerful technology. Samsung still needs to learn you can't mask a turd just because putting more memory in it.
Was it used or from china? Seems odd you'd get an S3 for $99 unless amazon sells phones on contracts. Otherwise everyone should buy one from amazon even if the thing is too big.
Because iPhone 4 to 5 sales are well above S3 sales and probably above the total sales of all of samung's android smart phones for the same time frame (that quarter to today)
If they didn't then people might realise they shouldn't use a browser from an advertising company. Plus they will just disregard the setting anyway. They had no problem by-passing safari's settings so I'm sure they are happy to do it to their own browser.
Most retractions in the US or UK that I have seen are tiny. What annoys me more is websites that leave the inncorrect information and then put an update at the bottom. Yes it is out in the open and part of the article but given how people skim they probably won't see and will only see the lie / innaccuracy much higher up in the article.
It's the behaviour I've seen from every single other company that has had to do similar things. Corporations are like children. This is why people who think we don't need regulations are retards.
Phones have always been more like VCRs than desktops and that means they are more closed and the thing is, in most cases, the hardware company owns the whole process so they're welcome to sell their package how they want. Windows on the other hand was one piece of an over all package sold by a company other than Microsoft so it's not right for them to dictate how that company can sell their product.
It's good that they don't because Active-X is a windows only technology and does no belong on the web.
Apple has never had a desktop monopoly to use and crush competitors. It never forced OEMs to not install other browsers and you can remove safari from OSX and it's never been a problem to install another browser and it always acknowleges your browser choice.
Microsoft still don't always acknowledge your browser choice and it builds functionality that only works in IE so even if you use the browser ballot you still need to open the cancer known as IE to do some things.
I had no problem installing Firefox on my Mac and making it my default browser. Where as on Windows, MSN messanger and other Microsoft technologies will ignore my choice and open it in the cancer known as IE so how is Apple worse?
They should develop a search engine to use to push their browser on people and then make the browser install the wrong place to avoid windows protections. If by-passing windows protections is good enough for private data stealing malware then it's good enough for a browser.
That's an astroturf if ever I heard one. Android is only open for hardware companies. It's not that open for the vast majority of consumers who are not going to root their phone. That just is not an option for most people.
Because Google doesn't care *that* much about selling apps. They're happy know everything you're doing on your phone which helps their primary business which is advertising.
The 8gb of storage and no SD card seems like the worst idea. My old ipod touch has 8gb of storage and even that wasn't enough pretty much from day one.
Firefox OS might kinda suck for apps for the awhile but then again so did Android and Firefox will at least really be open where as Google is just open enough to lure you in to snoop on your personal data. Quite frankly I wasn't impressed with the upgrade process or how long Google took even to fix some pretty annoying bugs in Android.
Unfortunately it does feel like Windows for mobiles. Linux hits it big on a consumer computing device for once and it's been less than stellar.

It's like a pedo saying sex with minors isn't a bad thing. Of course he'd say that.
I feel sorry for the people who think prices will go back to what they were.
Ah, thanks. It must be a north america only thing.
Do contract work, move, consider lower paid jobs or whatever you can accept. But an A+ cert will make little to no difference.

Exactly. iPhone sales should have been at their lowest just before the iPhone 5 launch

Was this change a request from governments to make spying on people easier?
Microsoft has always been happy to throw customers under the train to appease the publishers.

I'd say it's actually more visible than the first statement given that it's not just a link. Someone people want to make an issue out of anything.
Windows is still very insecure. After all it has that whole list of software exposing it to danger.

I'm not sure you can say it's worse but it certainly won't be better. I'm not sure why anyone would be happy to see a monopoly.
