Gee, and you guys wonder why nobody takes you denialists serious any more. There's a fucking hockeystick on that page, in case you missed it. Or don't you even know what that term refers to?
*all* of them? Climate Science, where exaggeration is so institutionalized it's one-eyed advocates are not even aware of when they are indulging in it.
I've heard iphone users complain that they can't get swype and can't get Google Maps or turn-by-turn navigation or any number of things that are on Android...
Well, if they are too stupid to find this actually existing things on iOS, maybe they would be better off with Android.
A two word description, sterile and boring. If you turned that in as a final design for design school I'd expect to flunk. Even the placement of the iMacs lacks imagination. I thought they'd be built in not sitting in a row blocking the window. A design fail on every level.
You mean they shouldn't be where everybody puts monitors on a bridge because it makes fucking sense? Well, thanks for that insight into the mind of Interface Designers In Open Timoneer Service.
I highly suggest you read the article since the summary is highly edited to make Google look bad. Example: Google didn't send a private investigator. It sent a c who was jerked around by the bartender and his friend because they wanted to cling to their powertrip. The only lawyer was just guy the bartender knew. Google even offered to give the bartender guy a free phone if he promised to be quiet about the leak until the phone was announced at the Android event.
Bad Luck Google: Sends a guy to pick up a lost phone. Gets screwed around by the people who found it. Still offers a free phone to the guy. Gets called evil by the Internet.
Amazing how you skillfully avoided to mention every single bit of the article that could make Google look bad.
Like the obvious intimidation of the guy who called Google. "Google had him pretty worked up. They told him he could be an accessory or something.”
Then (unsuccessfully) insisting that the bartender who found the phone stay at the bar to meet him ASAP - after his working hours, when he had a planned gig.
Continued with the "single Google employee" being "pushy" and threatening another bartender and the whole bar with legal action "He was little but really pushy, like military. He said he wanted to keep me out of trouble — like I was in any kind of trouble — keep the bar out of trouble. They could file criminal charges, he said.”
Is there a special Google filter you can run on articles that whitewashes Google?
"Conceding that he hadn't actually played with one..."
He was too busy trying to navigate from home using Apple Maps perhaps?
Or he isn't one of the manufacturers or of the few journalists who got access to one? But I'm sure you are one of those standing in line in front of a Microsoft store right now to buy one, because Tim Cook doesn't think its such a great idea.
You realize you can distribute an apk off your own website, don't you?
Sure. But how would you then make people know about your app? You could of course spread some story how Apple refused your app and how you are now forced to sell it on your own site...
Sure, if your app is a hit, there's no better place to be.
Unfortunately, 2/3's of iOS apps have never been downloaded, and less than 1% of iOS apps earn over $1000.
Gee, how convenient that the marketing company releasing those statistics only offer their app marketing services only for the App Store, else we would know the sorry state of the Android app scene. You know I can tell? They don't bother to offer their marketing services for Android apps.
'For all of Intel's semiconductor design and manufacturing feats, its processors suffer from a genetic handicap: They have to support the legacy x86 instruction set, and thus they're inherently more complicated than legacy-free ARM devices, they require more transistors, more silicon.
Intel and AMD x86 processors moved on to using micro-ops and risc like operations internally years ago.
Jesus Fucking Rodriguez! Using "micro-ops and risc like operations internally" means you can't be any more CISC.
Just the fact that it's made of metal and not plastic
As seen with the aluminium Apple laptops, metal case just means that the shock of impact is transferred directly to the screen and internal components.
I suspect that the reason for the restriction to Apple devices is to assure that the first wave of third-party online reporting about the announcement is from a group biased to be more generally favorable to Apple products, to set the tone of the response.
Yeah, as if those who want to attack Apple need any actual information on the devices they are going to bash.
No tablet in the past is worth comparing to something that you can comfortably (as long as you know where your fingers are) type a document up *with the screen*.
Nor is any current tablet, unless your definition includes typing five words a minute with one hand while holding it in the other. Even typing a URL is painful on my Android tablet and from my experience with iPods I can't imagine the iPad is much better.
So how fast do you type on your computer with one hand while holding it in the other? Or is there a certain reason (beyond ignorance) why you have to hold a tablet that way while not the notebook?

Well, show me one that doesn't. Funny how you shoot off rant after rant without simply doing that.

All that aren't done by mining engineers.
The original hockey stick relies on broken PCA.
Of course other hockey sticks have subsequently been teased out of the data, therefore Mann's hockey sticks were right all along. Quant Suff.
Yeah, that's why all other temperature reconstructions not done by mining engineers show the same hockey stick.

The most static boat design I ever saw. It's great only if the goal was disguising it with the buildings in the harbor.
Yeah, yachts should be build to show off. Just like phones.
I don't know, it looks more like an iSore to me.

Tim Cook. He's analogy challenged.
Windows 8 is more like thong underwear, that are also used as dental floss!
Did you make that answer to "You know, it's true -- children are the future." just to get at the top of the page?
The real question is how long it will take Apple to sue Samsung for having one of their prototypes stolen in the same manner as one of Apple's.
Since it wasn't stolen, but left untouched for a day at a crowded bar - never.

Three Questions.
How can you loose a phone while showing it off to all your friends in a bar?
And how can you not ask at the bar you were in if they found your phone for over 24 hours? Unless you wanted somebody to "find" it.
The judge is about to 'deal with it'.
So what is he going to do exactly? They did exactly what he ordered them to. And quoted him.
"Conceding that he hadn't actually played with one..."
He was too busy trying to navigate from home using Apple Maps perhaps?
Or he isn't one of the manufacturers or of the few journalists who got access to one? But I'm sure you are one of those standing in line in front of a Microsoft store right now to buy one, because Tim Cook doesn't think its such a great idea.
Is this the apology? Doesn't read like one. Bring on the sanctions.
Apple wasn't ordered to apologized, they were ordered to tell the truth. Deal with it.
You realize you can distribute an apk off your own website, don't you?
Sure. But how would you then make people know about your app? You could of course spread some story how Apple refused your app and how you are now forced to sell it on your own site ...
Ohh, and you forgot to mention that Google (and Amazon) also ask the same 30% the OP complained about.
If only that were true...
Sure, if your app is a hit, there's no better place to be.

Wow, my Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 have higher resolution screens than that lousy disappointment Apple announced today.
This screen is marginally better than even the Nook Color.
And you really need it to show all the white space on the non-tablet-specific apps.
Apple is already losing significant ground to Android in the 7 inch tablet space, so I don't know what you're foaming about.
Yeah, that's why the Galaxy Tab 10.1 creamed the Galaxy Tab - because 7" tablets are selling so well.
Just the fact that it's made of metal and not plastic
As seen with the aluminium Apple laptops, metal case just means that the shock of impact is transferred directly to the screen and internal components.

It's not that amazing if the aspect ratio is different.
Which it is.
Making it fatter is an interesting move. Some people might find it harder to hold in one hand.
So you Android Fans always claimed that bigger is better - what happened?

Well, whoopy doo, I can use the remote on my fucking TV too.
But he can type much faster on his tablet than you on your remote - thanks for proving how worthless hardware keys are.
