    The dipshit is you. The only fucking moron that writes the exact same tripe on Hacker News under the exact same handle and you don't even realize you're doing it? So not only are you an intellectually dishonest bore but you suffer from amnesia too. Why don't you pull some Minority Report shit and go on ahead and drink your Google hater's r us cult cyanide^H^H^H^H^H kool-aid and spare us your future mouth diahrrea. Go on, man, make the world a better place.

    Unlike you who needs no help looking foolish. All you are doing in the thread is regurgitating talking points like you just stumbled upon some great profundity. You don't know shit. You think you do when all you are doing is confirming your own bullshit. Seriously, put your posts through an objective critical filter before you start trying to throw rocks at somebody else. Practically everything I've ever read from you on here as well as Hacker News is a slight variation of Rah Rah MS and down with Google. You are a broken record that sucked the first time around. I'm glad you mention Hairyfeet; you sound just like him. Tweedle dum and tweedle dee.

    Google is paying only for ActiveSync, but is certainly paying more than a phone manufacturer would (because Google Apps Sync uses it too, not just Google's Android phones.)

    Wow, you are just the fount of fucking knowledge. So, Google pays more than a phone OEM because they use it in more than just phones. What other pearls do you have to bestow upon us, Captain Oblivious?

    I offset my MS Tax by introducing people to alternatives to MS software. Someone wants a smartphone without specific needs, I suggest whatever is the best Motorola Android device on their carrier. Someone wants to open a doc file without specific needs, I suggest LibreOffice. Web browser? Firefox/Chrome. That's the best way to hit MS where it hurts.

    Yeah, that's not hard to do when MS gives you your Android protection fee money back as incentive.

    P.S. Even Google licensed from Microsoft for Google-branded phones. Thats right, even Google is licensing from Microsoft.

    Many of your posts mention this like it is some grand revelation. Google licenses ActiveSync. Duh.

    I would expect the authors of the program to use whatever buzzword laden verbiage they could come up with to tell me how revolutionary and "different" their product is. It's called marketing. That's why I have to investigate it myself and cut through the bs. As someone "skilled in the arts" of programming, I have yet to see anything within Siri that 99 percent of which can't be accomplished as described in my GP post.

    So for him to comment on it, he has to have thought it up? Does that go for everyone else and everything too? Do I have to have invented cars to give my opinion of a 1972 Ford Pinto? You don't have to be a baker to know the bread is stale, guy.

    You don't think Watson is substantially better than this? I doubt Siri would have been able to beat Ken Jennings on jeopardy. I'm not saying Watson is the end all be all but it is certainly a lot closer than this.

    The guy said send many inquiries not all of them. Obviously, something with messaging or calendar in it is puzzled out and sent to acted upon accordingly. They probably took a statistical sample of people and how they would actually say something like "Schedule a meeting with so-and-so for next thursday regarding the whatever", took all of the common variations, set it to pick up on the keywords and let it rip. It's not hard for a programmer to pick up on how they did it and it isn't really revolutionary.

    Umm. No you can't. There are many widget aspects that are only configurable through XML. There is no Java API for them.

    First of all, who cares? Second of all, by definition, this can't be true as the xml files are translated into java by the device.

    Nope the XML files get bundled in your apk as is.

    No shit, Shirlock. Android running on the phone translates them into the relevant Java code.

    Oh, I don't know. That your UI code is now spread across some a few unverifiable XML files and Java instead of being in one place where it would be easy to maintain.
