  1. Re:Is a 7 Inch Swivel Blade Really Worth $30? on Ask Slashdot: DIY 4G Antenna Design For the Holidays? · · Score: 1

    Someone below points out the Verizon frequencies are around 700mhz. You will want a Yagi and not a cantenna. Should be easy to do. Yagi calculators are all over the Internet.

    You don't want the $30 omni antenna. The directionals on there are more like $80.

    A well built cantenna will cost less and work better.

    By assign yourself to the first two groups, your post tells us a lot about you. You believe you are special and different when your not. That is the defining characteristic of group 3. Your herd welcomes you.

    The iPhone 5 released on 9/21 announced about a week earlier.

    I can provide over 1000 more links if you like. You seem confused. Apple sold (to customers) 6 million iPhone 5s in the period this report covers. If you RTFA you would know that.

    Why? Did Samsung transition from the SIII to something else I'm that quarter? Even if you add the Note and Note Ii to the SIII sales it is less than the 4S+5.. You really going to count all of Samsungs feature phones and pretend like it is the same thing.

  10. Re:Shipments != sales on Samsung's Galaxy S III Steals Smartphone Crown From iPhone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems likely that Samsung dumped a bunch into the channel during the transition quarter so they could get an analyst to write this story and get some positive press.

    You are simply wrong.

    And if you count the iPhone 5 in the September quarter Apple sold 22 million of the 4S and 5. The summary could not have been more misleading had they tried. Oh wait. They did try.

    Does it matter to you (or anyone else in this thread) That Apple added the same code to every page outside of the US after the iPad Mini announcement. The code makes sure the footer is off the bottom of the page. There is nothing unusual about it at all. It is not sneaky. It is good web design.

    Apple is routinely lauded for outstanding customer service. You don't think screwing up one of they key pieces of that (the Apple store) will have an effect? Had he not been stopped, as it seems the most drastic changes were, the lasting effect on Apple would have been huge. Nobody cares about the maps. Most people like them because they did not have turn-by-turn before. You need to go into the world outside of the tech blogs sometimes.
