Microsoft comes up with some innovative stuff. I'm not sure why they're floundering.
It's because time to market is more important than raw innovation. Google had a great search engine years before Bing was even a thought. So Bing did a few things first, but no one cares because it's always going to be a "me too" product (like all of microsoft's products except desktop windows). They should have been pushing to innovate with Windows Mobile *before* it was cool, but they were satisfied with the current state of PDAs for some reason. No one ever said they weren't innovative.
When you're discussing something with another person, do you both take turns stating your opinions as if you're talking to a wall or do you address each others concerns? I'm not proposing a gratuitous slamfest of back-and-forth, just an honest discussion from people who supposedly have thought their ideas through and are up to addressing the holes that someone else might see from a conflicting viewpoint.
This isn't the first 3rd party "debate" I've seen between these candidates, and the one thing I've noticed about all of them is that they never directly address each other. This is lame.
If Samsung turn evil or make stupid decisions I don't agree with
Does not honoring a warranty for intermittently faulty hardware count? They always attempt refurb and won't do anything if they can't reproduce a problem in 2 minutes or less.
I believe it would actually be easier to institute a new party by allowing run-off voting to ween people off of the big two instead of trying to change one of them. People voting against the candidate they hate the most without regard to what they actually want is a cancer of democracy.
I guess you haven't been paying attention. The galaxy s3 came out months before the iphone5. There are also other very nice, high-end android phones on the market. As far as the software goes, iOS is a personal preference. I like the tweakability of android.
Cell phone companies have done a great job convincing poor people that they need $100/mo cell phones when they can barely afford a place to live or pay for medical expenses.
You're already at +5 so I'll just quote this for posterity.
I'd believe that Intel may have in the past done manual placing and routing of custom made cells in certain key parts of their CPUs, but I can almost assure you that Apple did not place all of the standard cells in their ARM core's and then route them together manually, which is what the headline implies.
What I'm talking about here is literally placing down a hundred thousand rectangles in a CAD tool and then connecting them correctly with more rectangles which is way beyond what Apple would have considered worth the investment for a single iPhone iteration. What's more probable (and pretty standard for digital chip design) is that they placed all of the large blocks in the chip by hand (or at least by coordinates hand-placed in a script), and they probably "guided" their place and route tool as to which general areas to place the various components of the ARM cores. They might have even gone in after the tool and fixed things up here and there.
Modern chips are almost literally impossible to "lay out by hand".
My CS program had a number of *really* smart kids - 1600 SAT scores and the like - but many of them really struggled at the concepts and barely made it through the curriculum.
I don't mean to belittle the intelligence necessary to program, but I have to call BS on this one. No one with 1600 SAT scores would "struggle through" solving compile errors unless by "struggle" you mean "take some time to solve when they're first learning".
Those were not touch screens though where the idea tends to be that you're physically manipulating simulated objects with your finger. This "obviously" leads to more simulation of basic physics principles.
Think of it another way: Motorola might have to recall their phones because their shit goes "bounce" when it scrolls. It's intuitively ludicrous without any logical deduction.
It's no use for you specifically (except for hunting and target shooting), but if a hundred thousand people with single-shot rifles were to organize and go to war it might actually be pretty effective. I think that was the idea of the second amendment anyway.
The Galaxy S III is competitive with even the iPhone 5 (though its app ecosystem may not be quite as good)
Try Galaxy S II even (released 1.5 years ago). I'm not sure what you're referring to with the app ecosystem thing either. Show me an app like Tasker for iOS.

Less space than an aircraft carrier. Lame.
Yet it costs just as much.

Well, no. The hardware and software are very nice. It's just that there's very few roads to drive it on. What's the point.

In some ways, that's what the Tea Party was all about, unfortunately it had no real leadership.
Yes and no. It had Sarah Palin, but your point still stands.
If the 2008 election is any indication I'd say people at the very least will *avoid* a candidate based on the VP they choose.

According to the specs your phone will never have 64GB of storage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htc_one_v

You can get some good deals, but I call BS on that one. http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16820227791

The headline is attention-grabbing bullshit.

Maybe it's time to admit that it's inefficient and unnecessary to give the supreme court a crack at every death row inmate's case.
Traffic slowed to a crawl to get a peek, some people just stopped. Very cool that these things can cause that type of reaction
I hate to break it to you, but a few cars parked in front of a cop can cause the same thing.

Who is going to start making something decent? What about everything I read in Time?
Absolutely priceless. Thank you.

Yes! Finally. I don't have any mod points unfortunately.
Not 120 but much closer.

They don't realize that they hold a PC in their hand which just so happens to have a phone app.
They don't want a PC in their hand. It's scary complicated.
