Then Samsung must be really dishonest by your logic, since it took a lawsuit for them to reveal their "devices sold" numbers, which were a lot lower than the "devices shipped" number they had been touting. And what difference does it make if iPhones are new or returning customers? Even if they sold their old iPhone to get cash for a 5, someone was still buying that phone from them. Either way, total # of iOS users increases.
Yeah, that's worked well for Android handsets, most of which can't be upgraded, or if lucky maybe once! Versus "evil closed Apple!" who on the 19th will be releasing iOS 6, including for the 3+ year old iPhone 3GS. And Apple actually has done a fair amount of open source (including WebKit and the OS X kernel): http://opensource.apple.com/
The relevant bit: "iOS 5 captured approximately 75% of all iOS users in the same amount of time it took Gingerbread to get 4% of all Android users. Even more astounding is that 15 weeks after launch iOS 4 was at 70% and iOS 5 was at 60% while Ice Cream Sandwich got to just 1% share at the same age. If there were any question as to whether iOS had a less fragmented ecosystem than Android, the past two charts provide a fairly definitive answer."
And with Apple's iPhone 5 / iOS 6 availability announcement on the 12th, we'll likely see updated numbers.
The current iOS (5.1.1) has seen very widespread usage, and there's currently no need to "downgrade" for Jailbreak as there is literally a one click jailbreak for all iOS devices running 5.1.1.
To be fair, a lot of porn sites default to an HTML 5 video player if it detects the Safari iOS user agent, such as http://xvideos.com/ , http://pornhub.com/ , etc.
Right, there are TONS of things you could say that would make me believe you in regards to hating Apple. But calling OS X not intuitive just marks you a troll. Intuitive, easy to use, and pretty are all it is. Also overpriced, and not th greatest for gaming. Go for those talking points next time, cause so far you're talking out your ass.
Then, as I said, you make an account as John Smith and make up an address and use gift cards or throw away credit cards. I mean, you can't blame Apple that purchasing things requires money. That's hardly an issue with iOS.
Older iOS devices. The iPhone 4S, and the new iPad don't require a connection to iTunes at all for activation. You can take it right out of the box and turn it on and be on your merry way.
Apple's own apps have the same pop ups, and though you are asked for your name and address to create an AppStore account, nothing stops you from providing a fake name and address, or using Apple Gift Cards or throw away credit cards for purchases.
How do you intend to purchase apps without giving Apple your address and a method of payment? You could just use free apps, or use Apple gift cards for making purchases, and provide a fake name and address.
At least as of the iPhone 4S, and 3rd Gen iPad you aren't required to plug into a computer or use iTunes to activate. All setup is now done on device.
"Update: Like many of our peers, we also fell for this good old British tabloid rumor at first. We have updated the story now that Willis’ wife has denied that this story was true."
Slashdot may want to retract, or update the story.
iTunes has no DRM on music, the difference between an MP3 and an iTunes file? One ends in.MP3, the other ends in.M4A.
it sounds like he wants each kid to have a complete copy of his collection. So he's basically saying, "I pay for one copy, I should have a right to take my one copy and make it 3 and distribute it" ie, Copyright Infringment.
I'm sure if I bought a DVD of "Die Hard", made copies of it, and started handing them out he'd be OK with that too, right Bruce?

Yeah, if you're going to base purchases on how workers get treated, you'll never buy anyone's products, Samsung included.

I wouldn't call $199 overpriced?
Just wanted to fess up to a typo in the story. I accidentally typed that the iPhone 5 runs at 1.2GHz, meant to type 1.02GHz.

Why should they "mesure" it in miles? Metric is standard.
But to answer your question:
92,955,807.3 miles
Not even animal names, as seen with Ubuntu names.
Even MS is on board, at least for internal betas. I remember installing a Windows 95 beta ("Chicago"; I was drunk, it seemed a good idea).
Newer iPad. Followed by Newest iPad & Shut Up And Take My Money iPad.

iBooks uses ePub (as well as PDF).
Nice try, Chris Hansen!
Kindle Fire HD is not e-ink.

Why are so many malware infected apps getting on the store in the first place?

Would just like to point out iOS does in fact give user control over Privacy:

The same pop-up occurs when an application wants to access your photo's, location, etc.
And you can also set up Provacy controls for apps in Settings:
