Talk to Microsoft. They're the ones who have threatened to withdraw Windows OEM volume pricing and force full retail prices on any manufacturer that offers an ARM-based PC maker that produces anything but a Netbook.
Apple will be the first PC maker to put ARM into a full fledged PC, because they don't have to fear Microsoft's threats.
I think the issue here is that there are no Intel phones, no serious Intel tablets, and that these are the largest, and fastest-growing, processor markets in the world.
You can only sell so many Xeons destined for the datacenter. Maybe, what, one per ten thousand phones out there?
The other point, which you have deliberately missed, is that the legacy x86 instruction set cause every Intel processor to require much more silicon, which means much more power consumption, which precludes any smart manufacturer from including an Intel processor in their product. They will never be able to compete with ARM as long as the x86 instruction set is in the Intel processors. At this point, even a lowly ARM is plenty fast for 95% of the users out there.
I think the main figure to look at here is profit per unit. I don't think anybody can argue that Apple is a loser there, even when comparing their phone profits to all other mobile phone makers combined.
Sure, Samsung sells a lot of units, but their profit per unit is so low that they could throw them out the back of an airplane over Somalia and they'd hardly be less profitable than they are now.
No, the reason they released the iPad mini was to totally murder the 7" Droid tablet market. I am betting by a month from now they will have sold more iPad Minis than all 7" Droid tablets combined, since they were released to market.
Remember that the Nexus numbers are tablets *shipped to retailers* and not necessarily sold. Apple is the only tablet or phone manufacturer that reveals how many devices are actually *sold* and get into the hands of the consumers.
Quicktime works great on a Mac. In Windows, it's running under an emulator left over from the Openstep days, called the BlueBox, which essentially provides a whole version of Cocoa on Windows.
I can't help you if you are still playing around with Windows in this day and age. You have bigger problems than QuickTime, like the gigantic hole in your head where your brain should be.
But he didn't get shot "for buying iced tea." It's amazing that you can look at the facts and mis-interpret them deliberately in order to come up with what is easily proved to be a bald-faced lie.
Yes, but when Microsoft says something's cross platform they mean it will work on various flavors of Windows x86.
Normally you hear "cross platform" and think "gee, it'll run on my ARM Linux box, my x86 FreeBSD box, my Solaris enterprise-grade server, and Windows" but you're thinking in the wrong way when it comes to MS's special definition of cross-platform.
That's incredibly naive. Police do not stop crimes, they are there to fill out the paperwork after they are committed, and to collect revenue for the state.
Consumers that are still dumb enough to buy a Windows device deserve to get burned. Microsoft has been playing the whole world as fools for many years and yet very few people actually seem to mind.
Just look at the idiotic Iranian government, running their nuclear program on Windows. What the fuckin' fuck? I wonder when they will figure out the source of their technical issues?
DUMMMMMMMMMMMB. Just like the rest of you Windows users.
Microsoft is like a scabby hooker who hangs out on the corner, and you idiots are the johns who can't figure out why, even though you've gone to the doctor and had your cock-itch cured 1500 times already, you somehow keep getting a fuckin' STD. In order to feel better, you go pay the scabby hooker another $50 and you don't use a condom, and then you wonder how the heck your cock could be itchy again in the morning.
At this point, if you buy Windows, you deserve to get burned as punishment for being stupid and for failure to learn from your mistakes.
I really haven't had enough integration between ad networks and my operating systems so far. I think it's a very courageous, forward thinking move that Shuttleworth has made from his fortress on the Isle of Man.
Without forward-looking and thinking individuals like him, who are looking out for us poor cattle, how could we possibly enjoy Free software? After all, somebody has to make a shit ton of money off the backs of volunteers, and Shuttleworth has bravely stepped into the breech to shoulder this heavy burden.
All Hail Shuttleworth, and All Hail His New UI Which Will Save Us All From Being Confused By This Linux Thing! HUZZAH!-
Yes, sure, 20 million S3s sitting around collecting dust in warehouses. Samsung never says how many of their phones make it into the hands of consumers, and both your links actually avoid talking about this.
If you look at where the second article gets their facts, it's from an analytics package included mainly in Android software. The only apps running Localytics on iOS are from a few worthless TV networks.
Since this guy has apparently outed himself as an actual Communist, we should beware what he says. I appreciate free software, but he seems to actually believe that free software will advance a world Communist agenda.
Notice the use of qualifiers - I don't want to get sued by some asshole. I'd have to respond by forcing them into a wood chipper, feet first, while they were still alive.
Since 90% of Newsweek subscriptions are made by doctors and dentists, in order to have light fluff for their victims to read before another unnecessary procedure, there goes Newsweek.
It's OK, though, Newsweek is one of the most miserable of the so-called news magazines. Light on facts, heavy on the propaganda. I bet Maureen Dowd would fit in great there.
The idea is to route all traffic and usage data through Google, so that they can spy on you even more effectively. From what I understand, these Chromebooks record all audio in the area, compress it heavily, and send the recordings to Google to be analyzed for both advertising purposes, and additionally are passed off to the usual spy agencies if suspicious talk is detected.
These Chromebooks are dangerous to your privacy, and could be used to implicate you in criminal activities, ban you from air travel, or even get you NDAA'd by Obama's goon squads.
For one, there will be no Apple 7" tablet. Poor, deluded idiots have been "predicting" this for years now, to no avail. Chicken little has more credibility than anybody proclaiming a 7" iPad.
Here's the other thing - your Android tablets are really pretty sad when put next to a first-gen iPad, let alone the new ones. Seriously, the herky-jerky screen movements, the lame-ass (TERRIBLE) web browsers, the lack of quality commercial software (or free software!) and the fact that 20% of the Apps on the official Android market are virus infected makes it pretty hard to believe that a Droid tablet is credible, unless you are working for Google and have to eat your own dog food, or you're a low-income person who needs a Welfare Tablet.

Hell I watched Steve Jobs return and make nice with Bill Gates LIVE back over a decade ago.

You can believe what you want, but I know what the facts say.
Merely having Treyvon on video buying iced tea does not prove that he wasn't a gangbanging thug out on the prowl.
So he was buying iced tea from Zimmerman on the street at night?
He got shot while prowling.
But he didn't get shot "for buying iced tea." It's amazing that you can look at the facts and mis-interpret them deliberately in order to come up with what is easily proved to be a bald-faced lie.
Yeah when the recent photos of Treyvon became available the media ignored it.
Let's face it - the reason this story even became national news was to push a gun control agenda, and to outrage blacks.

Social justice and progress are the new code words for communism. Of course, you now this already, being a communist yourself.
Yeah, nice try. Why don't you TCPDUMP and check how much encrypted traffic is going off to Google?
In this day, you're either rightly paranoid or extremely low-functioning.
Step over here, slave. You get an extra nickel and a handjob today. Please continue the good work, we need people like you.
A few more comments like this and you get an extra 10 square feet in your cubicle.

AOL is not to be trusted. They have engaged in massive spying operations for decades now.
