Yes, HUAWEI... they probably make more communication gear alone that the whole Americas together, but don't let that stop You from your high horse rant.
hey I'm not precisely an Apple fan but iOS it's not going to disappear in such context. Walled garden and OCD and all iOS and iDevices are competitive devices on their own, Apple can't probably pull the antics like first generation gadgets w/out camera or essential ports, but thats all.
tl;dr Apple would have to deliver it full without the overpricing. Cash cow it's over.
WP7 will find it's home in corporate if they are wise and buy BB before Apple does, else they will have to deliver something pretty good to compete, that not the MS we know, Ballmer needs to go it's all I know.
Isn't Android already the man of the house? I mean, WP7 it the beaten wife, iOS is the angst androginous 16 yo and BB the centered but always-away-in-business grown up sister. Did I miss someone? Palm? Nokia? They are that forgotten schizophrenic uncle, nobody cares.
There you go, a happy family w/ lots of spin-off potential.
Yeah I'd like that too, I can't code sh** and probably can't benefit from it but I know it's a good thing to do. But average consumers really care? Have you ever seen someone shopping a phone or a laptop asking the guy if it's using open source and where can he download the tarz?
The requirements of a subset of consumers are not relevant, which it's wrong, it's a shame but it's how it is. Companies barely listen to the vast mass of Joe consumers to dedicate resources to a low share that 100% of the time will keep complaining about another "irrelevant" thing that it's missing.
Some companies listen and do like Samsung and hire the developers of a popular mod, some companies ask their customers to join forums and help w/ market research but cocky adblockers probably have not heard of it.
How can the tech wise subset of consumers make their RIGHTFUL demands matter? I don't know, anybody can make a viral video, marketing suits shit bricks when the company goes viral w/out their approval, just a tip.
You don't fly to China for vacation or reporting, You go tthere to MILK the shit out of those dollars. Anyway now we know everything is fine. Since the "floating Chinese officials" are reporting to the Jobs and nobody seem be being strangled, guess everything is A-OK.
Apple buying BB? Since having a smartphone would be useful (finally) for my future work I've been debating betwen iOS vs Android vs BB... but iPhone + BB will close the deal for me and as a former Apple fanboy than now mocks the fruity company It's quite terrible indeed. People forget that BB it's huge almost everywhere outside USA, BBM have too much following to ignore.
I have an idea, let's ask the free press of.. or the government accountabilit.. how about some inside.... wow, probably and ironically the only one that can answer that is a blogger tunneling his way across the the great firewall.
Can you give us an example of a (commercial) company who offers a free service and does not at least mine the usage data? usage data != tracking data
Also, whats preventing you from using duckduckgo.com? They may not track you but they still will need to mine the usage data so they can fine tune the usage of resources and priorities. If DDG get 70% searches related to tech and 10% Searches related to Entertainment.. It's a crime if they fine tune and prioritize the server load to give you a better service?... service which is free btw.
Next! people complain that the shoe store dude look at their feet while trying to figure out your shoes size and style! shocking!1
Yeah, Google hates when people click on a link and gets in the external website and gets another print in their CPM campaign with such website.
I don't think that Google "fails" a lot by people using the "little tools" they provide, they seem to be improving the greatest source for leech which is translate.google.com even when they announced that the service could be discontinued.

Sure the UI of the iPod was innovative and thats probably why I bought and still use mine, But the success (for Apple) is related to the overpriced it is, When the bigger pendrive was around 1Gb I did lot's of money renting my iPod so people in the college could move their big ass desktop publishing works, the iPod paid itself almost twice.
If we are talking about: a business/product innovation we are talking about a Marketing Innovation and nobody sane would argue that Apple have mediocre marketing, I may dislike Apple as a company as it turned out to be after the iPhone and now starting to be a litigiation corp, but I'll never slash their products, w/out the OCD nature of late Apple I would probably be swimming in iPads and iPhones right now, but thats not the case.
How would printer vendors SHOVE you the metric fuckton of NAGWARE that every 15 minutes reminds you that "everything is fine, see our logo.. oh wait black ink is unhappy, click here to buy puppy for black cartridge" ?
Don't get me started on HP and their anuscolonmonitorware. Incredible how a piece of software can make you hate so much a company.
Makes sense since a lot of desktop publishing is done in Macs. But the focus of this patents make me think it's something more focused on con(pro)sumers.
iPrinter - If you try to fill the cartridges/tonner by yourself they'll get your ass in a re-education camp.. because they're built in! yay innovation!
That's easy to say from your basement.. to your imaginary clients in the "tissue bucket".
Wordpress is fine if you don't install every single fucking shitty plugin that crosses your screen. Or the plugin that's too cool to be in the official repository.
By your logic all webdevs should be doing sites ala Geocities, it's record in security is what took them to this century as the leading provider of personal web publishing... Oh wait.
IANAWD but I know WP can be a pretty good platform beyond it's circlejerking blog capabilities. Shouldn't be the open source community making those "bugs" shallow?

Also, You probably can't pin point Kenya in a fucking map, I know I don't thats why I first research a bit before puking all over the forum.

Samsung's Brushed steel android phone w/ real keyboard and CM coolness seconded. That would be a massive hit.
You forgot that Samsung is not an American company, if they hire someone they will milk the brains out of him.
You know you are succeeding in fascism if China praises You. The Standard & Poors of Fascism.

I love how every single attempt of FUD on the comments of this story have been stopped by plain common sense. Mod up
Can't wait for the android cable modems and it's multitouch capabilities:
"Look like you ISP is modifying your port forwarding set up, again, tap here to block connection"
Contrary to the Big-Brother-2084 market that Apple is patenting how? :)
At least we can see examples of 1984'ish nations but I fail to reference this mark of the beast thing? is it an anime? perhaps religion?

When will they crack down on the criminals that took this boy's kidney in a state hospital? Oh right, never.
Just pointing that doesn't matter how much or how less fascist your government is, if it's the Corp orders:
YOU

PERIOD

Sorry that's not innovation that is massification, worthy goal but not the same thing.
