Well, why not? C'mon, you can tell us.
It does look nice, and I like the way you can rotate it to get to the i/o on the back. Oh, and that little light that comes on when it's rotated. No need to cuss and go find a flashlight. A little thing, but a nice thing.
I'd say, judging by the number of MacBooks at the NASA Curiosity control center, that a more appropriate question would be to replace "Android" with "MacOS".
As usual here a lie is made by twisting the truth. He was talking about market research telling them what products to pursue or markets to enter, that is the consumer would be driving the business goals. Apple clearly didn't do that. There was no clamor for yet another MP3 player, yet another smartphone, yet another tablet. But that's OK, Steve is dead and the hapless harping hypocrites will continue their attacks and telling themselves how gloriously wonderful and clever they are for using some other product (Windows, Linux, Droids) even if it's substandard or blatantly imitative.
Was going to mention Tau Zero, but since you already did, I don't need to. But I do think I'll go back and read it again. The best sci-fi that I can recall.
I couldn't be happier with my new car, now 3 months old. Not one hint of a problem, anywhere. I think it was made by Apple. (Oh God, here come the trolls.)
Seriously, best car I've ever owned, and loaded with hi-tech goodies. Mileage is probably better than what you'd expect from 400 horsepower. 16-20 in the city and 28 on the interstate. One drawback -- all those Gs are beginning to make my wife a little flat chested.
I suspect the same people that had their hand in Ford Sync (Microsoft & their bedfellows) also contributed to this scary new feature. So now that's TWO reasons why I won't sit in a Ford with the engine running.
Rich people? None of the people I know who have Apple products would I call rich. In fact, the few rich ones I do know use ole timey flip phones. Maybe, just maybe, it shows that people who prefer Apple devices know quality when they see it. And quality is usually priced higher than junk.
Now THIS is the definition of a "walled garden". You buy a Galaxy S with Android 3, and any future Android versions cannot get over the wall to get in.
How about increasing the delay between red in your direction to green for the cross traffic, so if someone does run the red there will be a couple extra seconds before cross traffic starts to flow.
While we're at it let's remove what I call "Stupid stoplights", that do nothing but waste gas. How many times have you sat at a red light with NO cross traffic for 30 seconds or more.
"...the leather desk calendar (complete with a torn page)"
I looked and looked for the torn page the author was talking about. And finally saw it. Wow. He's bitching about THAT???
I think I know where his frustrations are coming from. The metaphor & graphics was so good he was probably clawing at the screen trying to turn the page with his hand.
I've used several routers in the recent past, and every single one of them would bog down to around 100-300kbps when I had a couple hundred peers connected in a torrent. Then I got an Apple Airport Extreme and now I get my full bandwidth of 15mbps with the same load. That sold me.
If I had a dime for every bulletin about some new battery technology, I'd be rich. And here we are today still plodding along with slow incremental bumps in battery capacities.
I'll believe this one too, as soon as I can go buy one. But I won't hold my breath.

What ticks me off about search is the number of hits that lead one to yet another search engine.

Yes, you certainly do.
Well there you go then. You just proved that Android DID copy the Apple's patent on multitouch.
Show me one Apple ad for its smartphone where it says the image on the phone is simulated. I don't think you can.
Is it indicative of a lower IQ when a person misreads a statement?

"Bought an i7-equipped PC for $650. An equal-speced MacMini costs almost double that."
Well then why don't you compare it to a $1200 iMac?

A lot of folks will disagree with what Bill thinks.

Boy, just reading through the comments shows that this article really hit a nerve with the Android "fanbois".
Don't think I've seen an intersection without sensors in years (cut grooves in the stopping areas). At least not around here.
Don't think that applies to stupid stoplights out in the middle of nowhere, with no other lights within 4 miles.

"Do Slashdotters Encrypt Their Email?"
What? Are you kidding? This is tin-foil territory, man. They even encrypt their comments!
I thought that working in IT was, by definition, working in a war zone.

We don't need more, we need less. Just one. Forth!
