None of that matters, just look at the jailbreakers. The cops can use the same techniques. Put the device into DFU mode and do anything you want with it.
XCode is a pain in the ass. Especially the latest version where they've added tabs that don't act like any other tab system and removed useful features like Interface Builder plugins.
That answer to that question is a resounding yes. If you go from one Android device to another, after you login it will restore your data & apps. Indeed Google has been doing this longer than Apple.
The PC serves as the base for the phone. Where are you storing 10 gigs of music legally in the 'cloud'? How do you sync that with other music? Is this a paid service? How easy is it to make sure you're not pushing that huge volume of data over your dataplan rather than wireless?
One core for the OS to function, one core for the phone parts to update, one core for the game logic, one core for the game graphics to update. It's not that hard to see why more cores could easily be better.
I don't think so. When the iPhone was announced they also said they patented all their innovations and were ready to sue. That doesn't sound like someone trying to fix a broken system.
Actually, Apple disallows linking to websites to ask for donations. You are allowed to have a donation function inside the app, however, as long as it uses the Apple App Store for the transaction.
I'm just saying that they are still taking the wrong approach to software, even under the hood. Delta updates wouldn't have been a major deal if they had stuck with good object orientated design instead of their large monolithic ways. If they had done it the correct way, we could have been updating smaller pieces of the OS in the beginning. (Twitter API is outdated, download update [y/n]).
Yeah, and if they had done it better it would be a bunch of libraries that interact together instead of one monolithic pile. In Android, there's a sharing API that things can register with, then they show up in any app that wants to share. This also means you can update the pieces without having to update the whole thing. It'd be like if you needed a new Windows version every time you needed to update drivers for something.

Because Apple loves DRM, and GPLv3 tries to prevent DRM.

Microsoft has very little control over the Indie Marketplace on the 360. It is controlled by the collective of indie developers.

Google Music, caching, ICS built in data facilities.
Although I believe the poster you replied to is a troll.
Credit card details were already leaked through Sony themselves. No need to physically get at the boxes.
I wonder how well they both fair with heavy use of alpha blending. I know this will cause big problems for the tile based PowerVR chips.
This post is clearly inaccurate. Here's an article about the launch of the 360: http://xbox.about.com/od/xbox2/a/x360launchguide_3.htm
And as everyone will point out, up until now (5 years after launch), all Wii's had the ability to play almost all GameCube games.

Precisely this! Someone mod this guy up, please.
Apple also said they would not license those patents out. (Or so I recall, that part is definitely more fuzzy)
Lawyer for the RIAA goes on to become vice president and helps to legislate for more internet censorship/takedowns.
The patents necessary are available under FRAND, but Apple chose not to license them..
I don't think so. When the iPhone was announced they also said they patented all their innovations and were ready to sue. That doesn't sound like someone trying to fix a broken system.
Apple charges 30% regardless of the cause. It's the reason you can't have your own donate functionality as Apple wants their cut.

So you believe. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/91-hardware/1586-secret-debug-registers-in-amd-processors.html
They went after people for selling them. However, I don't believe they have gone after any individuals for doing it. yet.
I own this phone, it's no sham. One cable is micro-hdmi, the other is usb for power. (Playing games through hdmi eats up battery for some reason)

The thing about Android is that Google would not have to buy them and integrate it. They could make an app that does that already.

That is precisely what I would like to point out.
