But didn't you get the memo? This is slashdot. Here, you spread your legs and let Apple fuck you in the ass while constantly moaning thank you in their general direction. At the same time, if Google does something right, you are immediately supposed to ignore it, find a shill article and post it right away where "samzenpus" is waiting to accept it and post promptly.
Can't understand you. Can you please take out whatever you are sucking on from your mouth please? Thank you.

Lets see. A visionary who (co)developed a major programming language AND the most used OS (upon which almost all current mobile platforms are based) vs an engineer who developed two computers vs a salesman who sold shiny toys.
I am all for exposing a genuine negative aspect of a platform. So where did slashdot report the ipad2 password bypass flaw, which is much more serious native bug (vs a thirdparty app)? Bias? Yes!
Apologies. But you clearly missed the point, and yours was not first to do so, and you just reiterated the GP which was clearly uninformed/confused/troll - hence a stronger reaction from my side.
Apparently, causality (777677) has already done a better job at explaining it, so I wont repeat it.
I never said anything about quality (though I do not agree that Shiny = Better quality, but that's a different discussion). The parent's point was that Android is only for techies and not for masses, but Android's popularity and a hefty market share proves it wrong, and I just mentioned that.
>> The "US Firmware" version would be oh-so-bare-and-legally-compliant; but the hardware would be identical because...
Right on. A very good example was the old (but awesome) iriver H320/340 mp3 players. Hardware supported video playback, but US firmware took out the feature because of some patent/royalty bullshit. It was just matter of downloading the korean firmware and it turned it into a a great video player (for that time).
Iriver used to make great products (in terms of build and quality), but their love for microsoft, proprietary madness and finally the ipod craze killed their US market.
>> I expect the most likely outcome is the patent will be contested and invalidated if as suggested there is prior art.
This is your problem. There should not be a need to prior art for such basic UI stuff for fuck sake. It's the mentality like this that will bring about another ridiculous patent from Apple next month and we will be discussing this very same topic.
There should be a hefty penalty (1% of the previous year's net profit or income) for filing applications for stupid or basic or common ideas. Then let's see how many patent Apple files.
>> when the other guy can't just slap it on for free after others developed it.
Right on. And Apple's philosophy is lets other develop it, copy it, do a great PR, and offer it far more expensively. Apple is not a tech company (as you want others to believe it) as much as a sales company. But please continue with your fiction.
How is it not related? An unfounded conclusion (Google could develop Android because he was on Apple board) is refuted by the historical fact to prove that even if we take your juvenile claim into consideration, it still smells of hypocrisy. Not only that, Jobs has specifically accepted how apple copied things from others. Shit, throw, pile - yes.
But don't let me stop you from whorshipping Steve Jobs. Please continue.
Eric Schmitt was NEVER on Apple board. It was Eric Schmidt.
And of course, that's the first time he ever saw a PHONE!! I mean, phones NEVER existed before, did they? Clear sabotage.
Now lets hear what you think of Apple stealing everything from Xerox. The foundation of Apple is on blatant theft. If you want to throw shit at others, make sure you are not sitting on pile of it yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
Here comes apple bitches.
But didn't you get the memo? This is slashdot. Here, you spread your legs and let Apple fuck you in the ass while constantly moaning thank you in their general direction.

Fuck samzenpus, and fuck the editors.
Aha.. fun of discussing with Appel fanbois..
> when they finally do say something at least they're credible.
Right on! Like how the antenna problem was clearly with those few dumb users who did not know how to hold their phones.
Heh.. but at least they are shiny, compared to those mined on a windows or linux boxes.
We, as in Apple fanbois? I know that already.
Can't understand you. Can you please take out whatever you are sucking on from your mouth please? Thank you.

Yep - the salesman wins.
I am all for exposing a genuine negative aspect of a platform. So where did slashdot report the ipad2 password bypass flaw, which is much more serious native bug (vs a thirdparty app)? Bias? Yes!
Oh, but it's on ipad, so it has to be a feature. It's bug only on Android. Just ask any slashdot editor if you don't believe me!

Which can be uninstalled without any problem. Learn to fucking read.
I see. Bing search is OK, just Bing Toolbar is fucked up. Got it.
>> Steve Jobs was a geek
Sorry, he was just a salesman. A good one, but just a salesman. Woz on the other hand... wait, what? Oh, you have not heard of him?
Patents != features.
And talking about features, does drop down notifications ring a bell? I guess not.
And this is modded positive. Way to slashdot.
I never said anything about quality (though I do not agree that Shiny = Better quality, but that's a different discussion). The parent's point was that Android is only for techies and not for masses, but Android's popularity and a hefty market share proves it wrong, and I just mentioned that.
Reading comprehension is passe?
Did I say that? I was merely pointing out logical fallacy in parent's post.
But now that you have mentioned it, there must be reason why do all apple fanbois go so defensive.
What?

55% of marketshare against your superior (meh) Apple's 28% would like to disagree. But don't let facts spoil your fantasy.
