  1. Re:It must be a lie! on DoD Study Contradicts Charges Against WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Everything the government says is a lie, especially if it involves Wikileaks, therefore I must conclude that this is a lie as well. I'm sure it is all part of a master plan to destroy Wikileaks.

    Then the original statements by the pentagon are also a lie, meaning that Wikileaks didn't do anything wrong!!!

  16. Re:Why apple will fail... on Devs Bet Big On Android Over Apple's iOS · · Score: 1

    You are already seeing Android phone in Australia that can only purchase apps from the carriers store.

    True, but the point is, if you cant get the one you want on one carrier, you can get Android from another. And of course iPhone is NOT exclusive here in Australia.

    Also, once everyone in the US is finally deployed on the same technology (4G/LTE), the exclusive deal with AT&T will soon be over. I look for the iPhone to be available to at least another major US carrier shortly.

    You maybe right, but from the rumors I have heard, AT&T has exclusivity until at least 2012.

    Cause if you have an iPhone and I have an iPhone I know your killer app will work on my phone

    Not true! Obviously some new apps will only support the iPhone4/iPad.

    It has the:

    will it really work on my phone with a different processor, screen geometry, camera, sensors, etc?

    issue.

    While android has many flavours of hardware, you program to an API, not the hardware. Yes some apps require newer versions of Android, because they access newer API's.

    Apple does the same thing some apps only run on 4, some on only 3.x, But you can't run iPhone 4 only apps on the original iPhone anymore because they wont update it.

  19. Why apple will fail... on Devs Bet Big On Android Over Apple's iOS · · Score: 1
    I think in the long run, the iPhone will stumble because of Apple. Not just the whole "you cant put that on the iStore" issue, but having a locked contract with AT&T(in the US) means that only AT&T customers are buying apps. From what I see around the place is that there is a hell of a lot of iPhone users that hate AT&T, and would change in an instant if they could.

    If You don't want AT&T, you cant get an iPhone (without jailbreaking etc.), so even normal people (non nerds) are going with android....And loving it...
