"Designed in California, made in China" is parsecs different from "Designed and made in China". Shoddy quality, substandard procedures and poor quality control matters big time if you want to climb up with in the market chain
Ahh, but Xiaomi is "Exterior designed in California, rest done in China".
Huh. So your evidence that allows one to claim others are wrong is???
Jesus, RTFA. Samsung doesn't even sell twice as many smartphones as Apple, how can they sell twice as many high end smartphones? Is that possible in the lala-land you live in? Do you actually still believe that Samsung offers a couple dozen low-end smartphone models world wide despite not actually selling a single one - no, wait, they would even have to sell a negative amount of them for your claim to become true.
Samsung vs Apple at the high end, it is about 63% to 37%
According to the GP, Samsung sells about 2 high end phones to every Apple phone (63% to 37%). Is that not a commanding lead?
Well, he was wrong, and thus so are you And despite me pointing that out, you continue. Which is your fucking MO. Stick to that non.truth like its your pacifier.
Not if you compare it to previous Q3s, then this last was the case 5 years ago - back when whatever-Windows-Phone was called back then had a higher market share than iOS..
Jesus Christ, are you even trying to do a sane comparison? Or are you going to cheer for Apple when their marketshare goes back up again? I dare you.
Or at least make the effort to know your enemy instead of just making shit up that sounds good to 3 out of 5 voices in your head.
It can be exactly the opposite too. Just compare global linux desktop market share (about 2%) with linux market share for software developer desktops (about 20%).
Funny you should mention the Stackoverflow survey, according to that Mac OS X actually gained quite a lot on Linux compared to previous years and is now at 26.2%.
IOW Apple has a higher marketshare Q2 2016 than Q2 2014. Apple is domed!
If only they had sold 10 million less phones in Q2 2015, there'd be a nice steady growth in marketshare, but no, they had to doom themselves by being so successful last year.
Wait, are you saying a 2:1 ratio in sales is not a commanding lead? If not - what is?
You are ignoring that less than half of Samsung's sales are high end phones. Far less.
Or do you actually believe that Samsung would still bring out phones with screens as small as the "too small" iPhone 4 if they didn't sell? Let alone smaller ones (though not running Android).
But that's not the type of application I care about.
Your bank application, social networks, messaging applications, useful free tools, open source applications, email, calendar, browsers, music, photos, are all free and the developers couldn't care less if you buy that crappy game or not, because they are not earning money through app sales.
So think about it. If you are going to develop a good, useful, free application, which platform are you going to target? One with 86% market share? One with 12%? Maybe both?
Maybe the one with less fragmentation, where development is actually easier?
Want to buy a third party? hahaha, go ahead, throw your money away!
Well, unlike voting for a third party, with buying you actually get what you paid for instead of what the majority bought - even if what you got turns out as useless as predicted by others.
And the autopilot of an aircraft will happily fly you into the side of a mountain, or another aircraft, as long as it maintains on the altitude and heading you set...
Yes, but the TAWS will yell at you "TERRAIN" and "PULL UP" long before its to late for you to do so even if you are fucking the stewardess.
There is nothing inherently illegal about buying or selling security exploits. The federal government relies on this market.
Remember the San Bernadino iPhone? The FBI paid 1 mil for a single use exploit. A one time payment of 200k is chump change when you could just sit on it and strike a deal with the feds of a dozen countries for its continuous use.
Yeah, you just have to hope that nobody else takes the $200k - or gives Apple the info for free.
It's an iOS only thing. Doesn't include MacOS, WatchOS or TVOS.
I understand WatchOS and TVOS not being included, since they are, in large part, iOS; but not having a separate bounty for macOS seems kind of odd. Anyone care to elaborate on why that might be?
Well, ultimately all smallprintOS are just OS X [cue Steve Jobs at the introduction of the iPhone saying it will run OS X] with a (more or less) different UI-API suited to the device class they run on. And any bug found outside that UI will benefit the core OS X and thus all other smallprintOS.
I mentioned in an opinion piece back in April that while Apple still sells a single non-Retina MacBook Pro model, it does its best to tuck it away out of sight – not mentioned at all on the main MacBook Pro page, and hidden at the bottom of the ‘buy‘ page. It now appears that the company is doing the same thing in its retail stores to the last remaining product of an optical drive bygone era.
We’ve been hearing reports of the model being withdrawn from display in Apple Stores for a week or so now, and checks by both AI and TNW appear to confirm that this is official
So yes, Apple still sells it, if you specifically ask for it, and tell them to look in the back of the storage room.
Did you actually read the link you posted? Or did you stop at the top chart (which is javascript performance only)? Or are you implying that only javascript matters when it comes to mobile devices?
There's absolutely nothing in that article that supports your point. You could have simply replied "no" and that would have had the same value in this argument.
And you where so focused on how well Android devices did on the PCMark tests that you missed that it didn't run on Apple devices. But hey, that's the best sort of Benchmark, right? Did you turn to the next page?
And the whole test doesn't even take throttling into account. Something Apple specifically focused on in the design process that their CPUs didn't need to do.
Funny how all the security experts at BlackHat cheered the announcment, while the nincompoops at Slashdot are blowing raspberries. Well, one group thinks they at least have a chance to make some money.

When those who are throwing the bags of money at you set the rules of engagement, it's awfully hard to argue.
Maybe you and BlackBerry should look at how Apple handled the carriers.
Please excuse me for not being sufficiently clear in my last post. I meant to imply that your post had no actual content.
Bwaaaahahaaa. That was a good one coming from King'o'nono Kontent. Say, have you met that other idiot LamebrainRooster? Share the same IP by chance?
And if you "believe" (as in fucking religion) that 71.9 is anywhere near double 47.5, you are a fucking religious nutcase hateboy.
Apple below 13%, actually.
That's supposed to be a reply to my post? Your IQ below 13 actually.
Huh. So your evidence that allows one to claim others are wrong is???

Samsung vs Apple at the high end, it is about 63% to 37%
According to the GP, Samsung sells about 2 high end phones to every Apple phone (63% to 37%). Is that not a commanding lead?
Well, he was wrong, and thus so are you And despite me pointing that out, you continue. Which is your fucking MO. Stick to that non.truth like its your pacifier.
Apple below 15%, that's the real news.

High margins have always been Apple's bread and butter, they obviously don't need a majority of mobile or laptop unit sales to be a $600B company.
Which is completely irrelevant to the customers.
But it is relevant to the argument that Apple doesn't care about Macs or macOS. Which in turn is relevant to the customers.
Not to mention that "OS X" is the core of all of Apple's productOSs.
And the autopilot of an aircraft will happily fly you into the side of a mountain, or another aircraft, as long as it maintains on the altitude and heading you set...

If Breitbart reported it it isn't true.
In the meantime the uninvited enjoy much greater rewards selling the bugs to the highest bidder
FTFY
Of course no bug bounty program yet installed has prevented that from happening. At least not if the target was in any way interesting to bidders.

I am sure the feds at BlackHat were happy. Are you sure the ones that mattered were happy and cheering?
You are confusing that with the cheers after that announcement: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/16/08/05/1455230/googles-open-yolo-project-will-remove-the-need-for-passwords-on-android

Don't confuse java script tests with CPU tests. Java script tests test the browser more than the CPU.
So Android gets declared the winner because their browsers suck? Okay.
SOME Chromebooks ARE made for power user
The same SOME Chromebooks that also cost more than SOME Macs?
