An android phone is quite flexible and allows quite a bit of freedom to the user. An Apple phone may look cool, but as soon as you think of stuff that you like (other favorite web browser etc.) you are toast.
What's that even supposed to mean? That Android phones don't look cool? That they, unlike iPhones, can't make toast? That an iPhone user when he thinks of, say, unicorns, he turns into toast?
“DROPOUT JEEP is a software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted.”
Missing quote right following that paragraph: "The initial release of DROPOUTJEEP will focus on installing the implant via close access methods." IOW it was NSA's version of a wired jailbreak for the original iPhone. Something that was not on the phone when Apple shipped it Fuck-dee-whooping-doo.
If the numbers shown in the Keynote are true, only 10% of Android users run Kit Kat. Most users are stuck with versions that are three or four years old.
Ignoring the Low class moves of attacking Android, a platform that continues in hypergrowth while Apple continues to fall behind
“Six months from now you’ll say the opposite. Because ultimately applications vendors are driven by volume. And the volume is favored by the open approach that Google is taking.”
2 years after the 6 months, and you two bozos are still wrong.
You must be new to the planet, because Google overtook Apple as the most valuable brand a week or so ago.
In one of many rankings. In Forbes' Google is only #5 (guess who's on top). Interbrand has Google still on #2. BrandZ dito. And those are just the top three surveys when googleing.
You do realize that that report only garnered the attention because Apple didn't win this one for a change?
AC I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself.
You seem to think "Samsung" is just one big company. Its not. There are many divisions of Samsung that are creating - and have created - cutting edge tech. Tech that is changing the face of the industry.
What you posted is not an elaboration on why "they are not" though. Those additional words could be said about any business and any product... it's pretty much describing "advertising."
And your reply shows why you think books are just a commodity.
So, Apple's DRM on AAC wasn't proprietary and didn't prevent other devices from playing purchased content? (Don't argue that ITMS is now DRM free - the DRM was in place when Apple was taking over with the iPod).
The DRM was there because the music industry insisted on it. All online music stores before and after also had DRM (apart from those with questionable legality, and those with music hardly anybody wanted). And no store owner but Apple spoke out for the removal of DRM.
You still don't get it, do you? At Google, you're not the customer... You are the product. Or more to the point, your browsing habits and associated data is the product. That's why there is Google+. Imagine the windfall Google would gain if they could have the kind of active user base of Facebook joined with their business model.
Err....isn't that agreeing with the parent? Why does Google have the 'most valuable' consumer brand when the consumers are those buying ads from Google and people are the product?
There is still a difference between "consumer" and "customer" - Just use (gasp) Google (or Bing!*%$ or DuckduckGo) and search for "consumer vs customer"
I recall a survey of (non-trivial) corporate spreadsheets in the mid-90's, it went something like 95% had a maths bug, in 80% of cases the bug made the sheet useless, 50% of the spreadsheets were used to make (incorrect) financial decisions.
And using a proper programming language prevents math bugs how?
Also, please note that the iPhone 1st Gen wasn't that much of a smartphone, my Nokia 6600 from 2003, running Symbian, could multitask while the iPhone 1st Gen could not. Also, the Samsung F700 had 3G while iPhone 1st Gen did not.
And the Nokia 6600 didn't have 3G, and the F700 couldn't multitask.

Good link.

What could possibly go wrong.
This may very well be the case of iPhone in China, given that it only recently started officially selling there.
Okay, this is bullshit - iPhones have officially been for sale in China since 2009. Don't believe T self-rightous FA.

On the Cyanogenmod page I counted 225 supported devices. http://opensignal.com/reports/fragmentation-2013/ says they found 11,868 distinct devices running Android - back in 2013.
Your anecdote doesn't really mean much. Apple has much better retention than other companies, ...
Apple calls it "retention," the rest of us call it "vendor lock-in."
The vendor lock-in, that according to all the "Ha, but I switched from iPhone to Android, so there!" anecdotes here obviously doesn't exist.

Yes, they are. Or Google retroactively made them.

Even Samsung is still trying to make its own shit like the VR goggles rather than just buy whatever seems popular.
Turns out they are "in collaboration with" Occulus instead of doing their own shit. Surprise.
It's frustrating talking to an idiot who thinks he's clever.
So you know how feel.

Then they need to spin off the shit headphone business. I doubt they will considering Cook is getting his picture taken with Dr. Dre.
I'm sure Google will gladly pay 5 billion for it.
The rumor seems to be (and this makes sense to me) that Beats was purchased for their licensing deals and personnel more than for their headphones.
Apple pretty much says this in the press release - which is the first link in the summary.
Really, does it? I don't think my reply addresses that at all. Did you reply to the wrong comment?
And you further prove why you said what you said.
What you posted is not an elaboration on why "they are not" though. Those additional words could be said about any business and any product... it's pretty much describing "advertising."

Hey, you said what a real smartphone should have.
Only similar enough to violate the design patent. And don't pretend Samsung doesn't have thousands of them.
