you don't need to own all other devices. you just have to have a general idea of other devices. you can do that by borrowing from a friend, goint to a store, etc. amusing how you try to continuously try to degrade my argument using blatant and baseless personal attacks (eg scam, shit, bullshit, etc).
But you should be aware of the fact, that marketing ist mostly... well lying.
no. adverts usually try to trick the potential customer. but they do it without using blatant lies. they use vague adjectives and stuff, but a clever guy can always look through all the bullshit. but steve jobs and apple simply lie. they say "iphone has revolutionary features", they say "iphone is a magical device", they say "ipad does not have enough cpu power to run flash". please give me another example of an advert where they speak blatant, plain lies and did not get sued later.
If you love it, it works great, you're completely satisfied with your purchase, then it's perfectly logical to come to that opinion.
no, if you love it and are satisfied, say "I'm completely satisfied. It is worth the money I paid for it." but you cannot say that it is a marvelous piece if engineering if you don't know how others are doing the same thing. for example, a person from the 1930s may see a crappy ford figo of today and be amazed at its awesomeness. if he has not seen other cars of our time he will say, "that's a marvelous piece of technology!!" and he would be wrong. just like the anon i replied to.
Quite the contrary, this iPhone gets much better reception than my previous iPhones.
for years now, i haven't experienced a change in the reception of any cellphone i've used (never used iphone). that's because there are standards for reception quality. every proper phone follows them. so, even a decade old nokia has the same great reception as the latest n8. if you experience "much better reception" from this iphone over previous generations, that only means that the previous ones were utter shit. and we have not even talked about the problems many people are getting with reception on the present gen (the one you say has much better reception). so apparently, iphone is still utter shit.
are you truly out of your mind? or is this the normal mental state of an apple fanboi?
My impression is that this is the most advanced, subtle device on the market
lol!!1
It sounds like an interesting issue that could combine subtle aspects of different sensor device, position, electromagnetic environment, head geometry, hair, limb length, complexion, reflections, software algorithms / settings, etc.
omg! this sounds like the drivel those religious nuts keep spouting on the tv!
yes, but atleast the htc ceo didn't say "we have made a truly magical device!" or "just don't put it in your pocket.". if enough people complain of this, they will keep it in mind while making the next phone.
people like you should be certified as idiots. have you used any other smartphone? (not old palm devices, i'm talking about new android and symbian). i guess not. so you are just making decisions based on nothing but steve job's lies. you know what he said about ipad and iphone? that they are magical devices. are they magical? no that they have revolutionary features. can you name any one feature that was not present in an older phone? on top of all this fud, he blamed his customers for his own device's shortcomings at the keynote! he said that they should turn off all their wlan aps. one question steve, how is it that everything else is still working fine but your iphone is completely fucked up?? so go on, buy a macbook and an ipad. but please don't carry the misconception that you are being clever. in fact, there is probably no bigger idiot than you.
I had the original iPhone, and it was an exceptional work of engineering. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 4, and it again seems like an excellent work of engineering. I'm only speaking from personal experience
what other smartphone have you experienced? keep in mind that your opinion "iphone is a marvelous piece of engineering" means jack shit if you haven't tried similar devices from other manufacturers in the same timeframe.
now use it in ie9. its much faster, quite usable. and thats the point in making html demos. you can compare browsers on their rendering, speed and smoothness. not like the horribly shitty and locked down apple demos.
...incompetent idiots. lots of its actions can only be interpreted by others to be flailings of a bumbling fool. recently they made it mandatory to give out your fingerprints to the census officers. well what good is a fingerprint if you lie about your name and everything else? and why exactly do they want fingerprints? just, you know, its like the rage nowadays!!1. almost all pakistani terrorist attacks carried out in india were the result of a decayed law and order system. corruption at the border, illegal gun trade, corruption at the local police station level, etc. hell they were able to just fix a red flashing light on any random car and managed to get into the fucking parliament itself. what google and rim should do is refuse to provide any help. and propose to close down their services in the country. maybe then the idiots will realize the stupidity. its times like these when i experience a burning desire to run away from this rotten country to us/uk/australia.
Would you not correct me if I called Ubuntu "Ubuntu Unix"?
no, i'd ignore it.
What if you drove an Impala and someone pronounced it "impaler" - would you not correct them?
if it is obvious that it is the car 'impala' that is being talked about, i'd ignore it. otherwise, if there is another car called 'impaler', then i would correct it.
So, from now on I can just say Unix when I mean Linux? All those OSS operating systems are the same, yes?
no. unix and linux are completely different operating systems. and all oss oses are quite different. if you encountered a specific bug in ubuntu, that does not mean you can say the same for every other linux distro. thus they have to be differentiated in such a situation. if you are talking about something that is common to both linux and unix THEN you can interchange them whenever you like. on the other hand, in the gp's case both him and the person he replied to are clearly talking about the same device. there is no ambiguity. so there is no need to be all picky about it.
what did you smoke this morning? seems stronger than anything i've ever known. these are not brands. they are models of computers by dell. like e71, n95, n900, etc are models of phones by nokia.
why do all itards get angry over petty naming issues? its not like were writing a fucking press release. now if it was something ambiguous you might have had a point. but can you really get confused if someone says itouch? i had another asshole get angry with me after i called his holy leader's operating system 'OS eX'. 'its not 'eX', its TEN!!1'. so what asshole? i dont go on and blindly follow what some fucker tells me to say. i do what i want to do. and you should not have a problem unless you are unable to understand what i'm saying. seriously these guys sound like they're some sort of trademark protectors for apple. here goes: itouch itouch itouch itouch itouch itouch itouch
please note that nowhere i said windows is better or anything. what i said is that if something works on 90% of the world's computers but is crappy on the rest, it means the rest 10% are at fault. also, i think your view is distorted. i dislike windows and like linux but linux is not usable as a basic day-to-day maintenance free system. windows is much more stable, and has much more uptime if the user does not care too much about the computer. and i won't buy a shitty apple pc, i won't pay twice as much to get an incompatible, slow specced and locked down computer.
no. all (most) cars have 4 wheels whereas only 15% smartphones are iphones. so your analogy is incorrect. and if mac is fastest growing segment that does not make it a big market. its still ~10%. iphone is FAR from the bestselling smartphone. it maybe making apple loads of money, but thats because it is overpriced not because it is largest selling. 44% smartphones sold in q1 2010 were symbian, 19% blackberry, 15% iphone, 10% android.
If a ball is thrown at me, the brain will search for an appropriate reaction, which is most of the time the action of raising the hand and catching the ball.
how does the brain know how many steps to take? in what direction? at what height to keep the hand? rotated at what angle?how much to move the hand backward to lessen the impact? does the brain just do a search in a huge all encompassing database. storing all sorts of cases in a database would require terabytes of memory, it seems to me. the solution is not as simple as 'action of raising the hand and catching the ball'. its different every time. different according to wind direction. different according to hardness of the ball. etc etc.
If a dirty ball is thrown at me, my brain will react by trying to avoid the ball.
this is called logical reasoning. its something computers inherently do. the brain is a complex computer. it does this without apparent effort.
It's all pattern matching.
and how can you match patterns without computation?
where's the fucking volume slider? this is supposed to be a showcase of what html5 can do? well let me tell you what flash can do. we had a big cricket league here in india called ipl. youtube streamed all matches live. there was a huge advertising campaign. the problem is that here we have a huge shortage of bandwidth. most people are on 512kbps or 2mbps adsl. when watching normal videos on youtube, it buffers for about 30 seconds and then plays without break. this is completely unacceptable for live streaming. the player was all flash. it monitored your bandwidth in realtime and adjusted the quality on the fly. there was an option to watch alternate video streams and do picture-in-picture. when you do that, the quality of the main feed was automatically lowered and bandwidth freed up for the alternate feeds. then there was overlay advertising. i know, ads are bad and what-not, but you can't expect youtube to pay a huge licensing fee and not recover that money. the fact is that this would be fucking impossible without flash. please give me a better example of html5, not the sorry implementation which lacks even a volume slider.
But all that's missing the point. The point is that it's *OPEN* and not under the control of any nasty for-profit corporation. And that makes it superior. Who *cares* if it doesn't work worth a damn in actual practice?
Except Flash doesn't work either. It crashes all the time (and crashes your browser with it), uses a lot of memory, CPU and battery for nothing, and only runs decently on Microsoft Windows.
On Linux, and even to a lesser extent on Mac OS X, its so slow the fullscreen option is not even usable. And I'm not even talking about portable devices...
yeah, its so bad that it runs well only on 90% of computers!

...rule 34?
is it a law?
Honestly, you don't think Apple is going to fix their proximity sensor?
no. i don't think they will even accept that it is a problem.
no you're not just lucky. you're special.

this.
i once used osx to browse for about 10 minutes and i was like 'have my eyes gone bad?' windows font rendering is miles and miles better.
