This is a victory for innovation and one which the consumers will enjoy. Because we all know that all these patents are there to ensure that the consumers get the best possible option.
If a kid was going to detonate a bomb, do you think it'd look like a bomb? When people hijack airplanes do they travel on board with "I'm a hijacker" t-shirts?
For me it looks like a block of wood with wires coming out. Would be too obvious if it was an IED
So Android phones sell more than iOS phones. However if you compare INDIVIDUAL phones, the iPhone will win because the Android platform is full of different competitors, while iOS isn't.
We're comparing ANDROID vs iOS. Any individual Android phone is lost in a sea of different choices - even if android is 40% market share.
He used the assertion that it outsells "individual" phones as proof that apple got their strategy right. I disputed the his proof and not the conclusion.
If you notice his second sentence was "People want" which is a stepping stone based on how they're purchasing iPhones more than any other individual phone.
Interface takes a bit of getting used to, but its allright. It doesn't look as pretty or as polished as gmail but it'll work. Obviously you could/should use an email client and just access them through POP or whatever.
256 kbps? You people are crazy. The bits will get confused if you try to move them at that speed. In fact, having cables like that near farmland will make chickens stop laying.
I'm not nearly as tech-old as you people, but I still remember the days before Google where someone would give you their h.t.t.p.colon.slash.slash website which you'd view on Netscape.
Right, and that's called competition. Its what companies do.
What we're trying to see here is if Google is unfairly using its search position. Which it isn't. Google could have made a fortune making peanuts, its still the same thing.
...of manually filtering out spammy emails from non-spammy ones. It'll be like community service. Sure it won't do much in practice but it'll teach him how the rest of us feel when some new spam gets through the filter.
While I did like the 'random' quest elements of Daggerfall, to be honest they were a little overwhelming. So many towns, cities, sites. Spending hours in a dungeon looking for a werewolf and then the exit...
I dunno, I think I preferred Morrowind to it. As long as the gameplay isn't padded by walking through the wilderness killing boring things, I'm not going to complain.
How is Google using its search dominance to unfairly gain entry into mobile market? If I want to use Google's services on a symbian, iPhone, WP or whatever it still works. Google isn't forbidding competing mobile manufacturers from using its service, either.
Its using the MONEY it gains from one to fund the other. Big. Deal. Its one company.
But then you couldn't visit the windows update website to look at the non-compulsory downloads And certain programs always opened IE, regardless of what your browser was And you couldn't uninstall it
Oh noes, its ruining my ability to sell stuff. Lets attack their patents to ruin it. Its got nothing to do with Microsoft's antitrust trial - that was something bundled with a sold product - this is something free which Google is using to sell something else (apps for example). Its kinda like how certain open source stuff works.

In opposite world!
I blame whoever invented these 'stones' things everyone keeps throwing around.

Stop misquoting me.
If you look at the real figures :
"Google's Android platform has topped 40 percent market share in June up from 38 percent in May, said comScore. Apple's iOS remained No. 2 with 26.6 percent share." [Source: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Android-Hits-40-Smartphone-Share-in-US-ComScore-426114/%5D

Even over a year after the iPhone 4 came out, it's still outselling individual phones from the likes of HTC and Samsung.
Its not such a good comparison. Here's why. You use a smartphone to run certain programs on it (or to look good or whatever).
If you want an Android phone, you have tons of choice. Most of them will run the same software, and so you just choose your price range or whatever.
If you want an iOS phone you basically either buy second hand, or buy the current iPhone.
So the iPhone isn't better than 'individual' phones, its just the only choice you have if you want iOS
Become very rich, bribe enough politicians with more money than the RIAA/MPAA offers, get them to change the laws.

And everything, but isn't this a bit too much?
Remember when Windows tried to 'integrate' with the web - I think it was Windows 98...
Is HTML and JS really the best tool for this job? Is it the best tool for all the jobs MS is intending it to be used for?
I remember altavista, but I didn't use search engines that much in those days. Its not like the 'search browsing' of today.

I think I should start a company which sells metal doorways with the words "Scanner" written on them. They won't do anything, but I'll make a packet.

You need a Google account to use their store. You don't NEED to use Gmail.
In fact, I can look at the store and get myself a hotmail email client if I wanted to, or whatever mail client you want.

Of course you could.

"win super site . com"
"Supersite for Windows"
Come now, this website sounds very reputable and not at all biased on the side of Microsoft.
Its free. Lets be happy about it.

You think this giant advertisment for LEGO is going to be paid in 'taxpayer dollars' ?

Or the fact your computer has to be on the internet. (Which is, at this point, a silly complaint.)
Only to install. And for the first time you run it. Then you can stay without, there's no need to remain connected - there's an offline mode.
The more higher rated a game is, the more people download it on BT?
Is that it? What an unexpected result.
Higher rated -> More people want to play it -> More people buy it OR More people download it
Simple.
