How does anyone know it's the new iPhone? I mean, they have a history of false leaks that predates the iPhone releases... Last year we kept seeing an iPhone shaped like a MacBookAir (thinner on the front) yet it wasn't at all what the iPhone 4S looks like now.
What you see is an iPhone 42 and something the author would like you to believe is the next iPhone. Whether it is or not it at best debatable.
Stop being so gullible. The video being on YouTube doesn't make it right or true.
Given the fact that nobody has a fucking clue of what's in the video, whether it's authentic or not, who shot it, I'd say it hints at somebody wanting you to believe something, not much more.
It doesn't say anything about a future Apple product or connector though.
My bet, if it is worth anything, is that if they change the connector, they will include in every iPhone box a converter allowing old accessories to work with the new iPhone. They'll drop the free converter next year on the iPhone 6 or whatever they decide to call it, giving effectively a year to accessories makers to adapt to the new connector.
If they don't do they they deprive every single buyer of the shitload of accessories actually on the market and in the homes of so many potential buyers. And this is a definitive advantages of iPhones over competing products.
Look at it this way: What has he lost? Nothing. What could he have gained? Licensing on the Android OS. That would have mounted in a million dollar per day most likely.
So all in all, Oracle lost, but I'm sure Ellison doesn't regret anything.
Ok, so your point is that you can run more commercial apps and that VM management isn't horrible. I have no experience with VM management under Linux nor Windows so I can't tell.
Is there anything else these $5k will bring over a Linux?
I'm genuinely asking as I'm not all that into Windows.
You know you contributed nothing to the discussion, right? The fact that transfer from an iPod is obfuscated is no help in trying to find out whether it's Steve or the RIAA that is to blame for such restriction
Don't you think that NOT having multiple plants to produce all their phones is a strength if ever they can't sell a phone anymore? How can you put that in their weakness list?
Let me tell you one thing: They build phones. They just outsource the mass production. This is completely different.
The iPhone isn't all that much different from an Axim or HP PDA from 2004, except for the better hardware, which was not invented at apple.
Let me guess, you've never ever used either an Axim or an iPhone. My guess is that you've never used either.
If you can't tell the difference btw both, you're clearly completely out of touch. I don't even know what to tell you. Maybe you think the iPhone was all about hardware or something...
The iPhone was all about stopping to compete on specs and get a shitty OS. It was the first "integrated" modern phone and the revolution we talked about was in the device (as in HW+SW) not in any of them.
A few examples: - There was no touch screen as usable as the iPhone's - There was no smartphone with an OS that didn't require a reboot at least every week - There was no phone with a browser that made is acceptable to look at a website - There was no phone where SMS could be send by my grandma only after 10 minutes of explanation - There was no phone with a mapping experience as good as GMaps on the iPhone
The list is long. Of course, you'll point me out that all the points I mentioned have exceptions, and it is true. But no phone had two of these features, let alone all of them.
I've owned several Windows Mobile devices pre-iPhone and let me tell you, there is a reason why Microsoft took so long to design a REAL phone OS. The difference is abysmal.
Your customer CPU will heat more, and your customer will spend more time in front of his computer waiting for the disk to be accessed. It might be a few ms at a time, but cumulated over a year, imagine !
Anyways, putting a price on something like this is always highly suspect.
The same way it was trouble in the early 90s. One company can't outrun the whole market for long.
They've been out of trouble since 2000 and they haven't outrun the market until 2007 on anything. Outrunning the market is not a necessity for Apple nor is it for any company.
Why do you think they only release one phone per year?
Partly because of the strong brand value in the US, and partly because they can't do much more and keep the margins high. This isn't new thinking. Ford was thinking along the same lines long time ago-- any color as long as it is black. It also works well... Until your competitors blow you out of the water. Wait until the margins slip because of something, and the short selling sets in... It will be a fun ride.
One less competitor is not a fun ride. It's a sad one. Did you ever ask yourself what smartphones would look like if no iPhone had ever seen the light of day?
We might disagree with Apple but we should be grateful. They made the sector make a leap jump into the future.
Foxconn doesn't make anything either, they assemble. If you go down that route, nobody is making the iPhones. Many are making parts, some are assembling, some are transporting, some are designing and distributing.
What is the point in nitpicking? Just for the pleasure of claiming that Apple doesn't make the iPhone?
How dumb can you be? I'm no Apple fan, but if any company can be credited (or blamed) for making the iPhone it's Apple, and no other company.
Ask GP for the details, but last I heard they appear to be losing market share to various upstarts in various mobile markets, despite their enormous marketing advantage.
How is that trouble?
Everyone knows for years the iPhone was not going to be the king of phones forever. And everyone knows for years that Apple will not be the biggest smartphone manufacturer ever.
It's not their strategy and has never been. They are perfectly happy with 10% of the market and 70% of the margins. Why do you think they only release one phone per year?
I mean, Samsung releases 25 new smartphones every year, of course they're going to eventually outrun Apple in sheer number (I believe they already did).
If it's soooo easy, then why is Apple finding it so hard now?
Because not one company can be a leader for many years, especially in a dynamic field with high margins. This is economics 101, people catch up in the long run. Would Apple's problems be any different today if Jobs were still alive?
Samsung is one of the companies that actually makes stuff. Apple just does marketting and distribution, and does it well. So Jobs is more of a Gus, i think.
Apple doesn't make stuff? Where have you been hiding for the last 36 years?
Slashdot Mirror
Please, enlighten us !
I admit it perfectly. But Apple hasn't acknowledged anything so far, not even the fact that there's a new iPhone. As usual.
And people expect them to release a spec sheet of the new dock?
This is so nonsensical that I can't even imagine how it made it to the front page.
So I guess you know then.
Just out of curiosity, do you know what your nick means in French?
Care to put your money where you mouth is? I'm willing to bet $1000 that's what the next iphone will look like (little dock and all).
My best judgement prevents me from betting $1000 with AC, sorry.

He has to regret the Sun acquisition.
In case you didn't know, Sun's acquisition had about nothing to do with Java.
Look at it this way: What has he lost? Nothing. What could he have gained? Licensing on the Android OS. That would have mounted in a million dollar per day most likely.
So all in all, Oracle lost, but I'm sure Ellison doesn't regret anything.
I'd advise that the drop is entirely temporary and you can make yourself an easy 10% in less than a month by buying today.
I guess that's only if they can sell phones for less than the marketing they spend on them.
Ok, so your point is that you can run more commercial apps and that VM management isn't horrible. I have no experience with VM management under Linux nor Windows so I can't tell.

Should you care if your VPN goes bankrupt? Just get another one...

I was about to answer to that moron, but you did it much better that I could have.
Thanks.

How do they get the $4,650 gain anyways?

Without Foxconn there would still be iPhones. Without Apple, Foxconn would be at 10% of their actual size and there would be no iPhone.

Apple is having trouble? Since when?

Apple doesn't make stuff? Where have you been hiding for the last 36 years?
Yes, why? Not able to do it yourself?
BTW, it's only one big table, it's not two distinct recordsets.
You can check a few files in a directory and then easily deduce the whole directory is a dupe. You don't have to do it file by file.
How can you be sure a single file wasn't added to one duplicate?
By the list of files you see as being duplicates in said directory?
