Right, and an ad hominem attack in your opening paragraph is *really* conducive to good discourse. Why waste the time looking up cites when your opponent is only interested in mud slinging?
And that is exactly how the core of iOS and the core apps (that come with the phone) work.
Apps from the store, however, cannot do this (at the moment) - they have co-op multitasking ability only, which is also how it is done on Android (or at least, the ability is there to do it this way if the app is written as such).
Yes, so does the iPhone, thanks to it being built on Unix. the iOS *does* quite demonstrably support preemptive multitasking, so that is not an "outright lie". It is also true that Android supports cooperative multitasking that is now present in the iOS. Go look it up. No lies here. No pain about having bought an iPhone. I just like to actually know the facts about a situation when talking about them. Perhaps this is why you post as AC, since you are clearly incorrect in your assertions.
Apps that come from the app store just do not have access to preemptive multitasking at this time, but that may change in the future. It is fully built into the OS, however, and is used by the system itself and the core apps.
Why bother, you'll just call me a clueless fanboy and dismiss my citations out of hand. Your opening paragraph says pretty much everything anyone needs to read.
So you mean right now, with Windows as dominant as it is, I cannot get a Linux box, a Mac box, an Android phone, or phone running any other OS, because Windows is so dominant?
Sampling rate is a measure of the number of data points per unit time, rather than a description of the analog signal frequency.
44.1k is 44,100 data points per second, 192k is 192,000 points in the same time interval - giving you a more accurate representation of an analog wave.
They already share APIs - iOS is heavily based on OS X with a touch UI on top.
This article is just total FUD. It's the same sort of "analysis" as that story from a couple of months ago how Apple "will definitely" move to an App Store model for OS X. There's just no sense in it at all, given the direction that Apple are taking OS X.
They forked OS X, for want of a better term, and created iPhone OS (now iOS), and continued development on OS X itself. There is nothing to suggest they will merge the two again. Why suddenly cut out the creative suite, office, other third party pro apps, games, the new Steam client (finally games are becoming top tier)? There's just no compelling business reason to move to iOS on the desktop; and ultimately Apple are in this business to make money.
This is once issue where OS X users and 64 bit Linux users can huddle together for warmth in the cold and the snow. At least we sort of have a working browser plugin, if you have a powerful enough machine to brute force a simple task like an SD video, or a page of navigation links etc.
Hold on, so when Apple adds multitasking to the iPhone everyone says "no big deal! Android has had that since launch!", but when Firefox adds separate process plugins which Opera and Safari have already done (Safari has been doing it since v4) suddenly it's "a big deal" because it's Firefox?
Don't get me wrong, it's good to see this (when Apple did it to Safari, the number of browser crashes I have seen has dropped *enormously* since flash only falls over by itself now). The GP was just pointing out that, but that Firefox isn't the be all and end all and that this approach is not new. You know, in exactly the same way people point out things like that in an Apple thread:)
I have known that truth for a long time - OS X is patched quite frequently, and the knowledgebase articles about just what has been patched and who discovered it are quite informative. Since iOS is based on OS X it does not surprise me that it also has bugs. Nice to see them fixed.
A lot of these were bugs in Webkit, so expect updates for Android too, assuming your phone manufacturer offers an update. How many of them have got around to offering 2.2?
Well, if they already have separated water, then there's no need to worry about how humid it is - just collect it and dispose of it.
My understanding of a chemical desiccant is that it will become more dilute over time, and require recharging by removal of water (or addition of more solute).

I can deepthroat without gagging. Talking while doing that is not such a stretch. You should try it some time.

Exactly like Android then. State of the art circa 87-92.

I'm not the OP.

Too long didn't read, after your first paragraph pretty much defined what it was you were going to say.
Touched a nerve did he? Too close to the truth?
So wait, is or isn't Apple entirely Steve Jobs?
When it suits you, Apple does what it likes, when it suits you another way for trolling, Steve Jobs is the final say, what he says is law...
Which is it this week?

No, the Macbook will stay where it is (it is a huge, huge seller). The Air might go away though, which is the main area that the iPad is cutting into.
So the iPad is a laptop?
It's a troll summary about Apple - no change there. Just par for the course.

What truth? That software has bugs?

So you're saying that Android treats you that way too, since they are doing it exactly the same way as Android phones.
Don't let that get in the way of a good frothing Apple bash though.
That is true, which does raise some legitimate concerns: if I turn off location services entirely, does Apple still track me?
I do not know.
You *probably* mean that, but what assurance do I have that you'll give it back?
To be fair, both requests are vague, and now Apple's has a further clause that it did not have before that you have to dig in the small print to find.
You can just say "no" though.
The location data collection is part of the iAds framework.
You can also just turn off location services, or control what apps can use it. Whether this will affect what the core OS does is another matter.
"This app wants to use your location. Allow?"
* taps "Don't allow"
Problem solved.
Your battery is faulty.
