Siri is limited to iPhone 4S because it's extremely resource intensive. How do you expect Apple to ramp up server support for the 100 million iOS users around the world in addition to the millions added every week/month? Siri has already experienced slowdown on a few occasions.
Funny thing, the iPhone 3G was released June 2008, 4 months before the first Android phone ever released- the T-mobile G1. Until Oct of this year the 3G ran the most up to date version of iOS. The G1? Left in the dust months after its release.
The only reason I can think of to root and flash a new ROM is because the stock is horrifically slow or abysmally ruined by the manufacturer's overlay. Once you jailbreak an iPhone it does everything an Android phone can do, except for a nice launcher. Oh and it also has 10+ hour battery life and runs as smooth as silk and butter.
Personally I think the only real advantage of Android is LTE and larger-screen phones, which should be rectified by a new iPhone next year. It's why I got a used Droid Charge... which ironically receives extremely little developer support.
Despite the morass of stupidity on Slashdot, Apple is generally looked up to and praised for the specificity and efficacy of its patents. Unlike MSFT and Google, Apple seems to produce its own innovations rather than buy up tons of companies with their own patents.
You still have to pay extra money (through skype for example) to call a landline or cell over the internet, unless you're using google chat to call the US.
Also what's wrong with 3 monitor setups that run at full speed? I think that's pretty awesome. If consoles are allowing that to be done without spending a fortune then awesome.
Pretty much. Jewish people started out with massive poverty and discrimination, but worked their way to the top of the finance chain. Other minorities just become mired in a "self-defeating culture" that they create for themselves.
Also this study contradicts every other study that's ever been done on this topic. It will need to be peer reviewed.
But the Fire hasn't failed, and Amazon will continue promoting it to make sure it doesn't. The "real" Fire will be out next year, but Amazon wanted to expand its userbase as much as possible.
It kind of amazes me how no one saw the utility of a touch tablet running a mobile OS until Jobs showed it to them. Heck, even when he showed it to them on stage they didn't understand. It really, really sucks that Jobs is gone. I don't see anyone else in the industry with his ability to meld both artistic intuition and academic mettle into such a coherent whole.
These things will of course be fixed in a software update. Amazon's goal was to simply maximize their userbase, and like Skyrim, they were willing to release a buggy and unfinished piece of software to accomplish their goals.
Bootloader's locked on both the Fire and Nook Tablet. Not sure why B&N locked their new tablet when the first one was unlocked. Completely ruins the potential.
Indeed, as Carmack said in an interview once, more important than computer hours these days are programmer hours. He's rather use super high-powered CPUs rather than fiddle around with less costly GPGPU implementations simply because of developer time constraints.
Ah yes, the "it's obvious!" argument. Where were these obvious implementations before the iPad and iPhone? Why didn't anyone try something remotely similar? Why did Android convert from a Blackberry ripoff to an iOS clone 9 months after the iPhone's release?

In other words Baidu is the Samsung of China?

If you think he was coached, well... then you're holding it wrong.

But I'm not bashing. I really *am* asian, am cheap, and actually have no money since I'm a student.
Why did Louis only see 2/5 of that profit again...?
I pirate because I have no money and I'm a cheap asian.

The eink kindles don't even play epub. Their proprietary nature sucks.

That and not everyone can afford hot rods.
Kind of like Bethesda.
Jesus you people are old. Kudos.
Your iPhone 3G runs on a 400 MHz processor and came out before the T-mobile G1- the first Android phone.

Why are you so stupid? Does it hurt when you think?
And how exactly would she recuse herself? On the basis of being too prejudiced? Due to "racial discrimination"? Her career would be forever shot.
