    Where does the quote end and your comments begin. I assume after the [97].

    While your statement is not grammatically incorrect, it is clearly not what the Author was trying to say. The original statement is also correct.

    Instead of explaining why off is correct, or why an alternate use of of is correct, explain why the original use was incorrect.

    Since the formation of the TSA, every attempted terrorist attack has been stopped by passengers or intelligence agencies. The TSA fails at here job 100% of the time. They talk about all the weapons they have confiscated..Mostly pocketknives and an ocassioal handgun forgotten about in a bag. The guns would have been found by the old system and the pocket knifed don't matter anymore.

    I am sure theynare counting globes too.

    It should never be illegal for me to record my interaction with a law enforcement officer. They are acting as an agent of the state, and the state has no right to privacy at all. It should be encouraged for every citizen to record every interaction they have with law enforcement.

    But it is ok to compare sales on those terms, even though 18 months of Android "winning" has still not brought even 1/20th of the iOS revenue to Android developers? The gap is still growing, not narrowing.

      I agree it is not fair or relevant to compare devices from 30 manufactures on a wide variety of OS versions to one or two devices from one manufacture. It is always a meaningless comparison.

    This story is bizarre and flawed. The app story was pretty good and highlights a real problem for Android...

  8. Re:stats need another dimension on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 1

    All Android stories should be done by model since the compatibility matrix is so complex. The problem is, then Android is not "winning". Considering Android as a single thing is almost always absurd, this story is not really any more absurd then lumping all these same varied devices with 3 different versions of the OS into one pile and calling it Market share.

  9. Re:Of course - its by design! on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 1

    So you agree that Android's platform Marketshare is meaningless.

    That is actually a more accurate statement then saying Apple copied his logos. They were in fact Apple's logos first. All he did was paste one inside the other.

    SO you have some evidence they used the same code. All the guy did was put a front end on their APIs and do some garbage on the desktop. Since his does not even work right, lets hope they did not use the code.

    It is a matter of development priorities. Apple surely did not want to make significant changes to itunes before doing their planned move to the new (well now old) framework and 64-bit. Why do the work twice. So you wait on a feature that was not such a big frigging deal anyway.

  22. Re:Didn't fall for it on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    Because it took a lot of work rewriting itunes they did not want to do till they did the 64 bit cocoa re-write. It was likely a simple matter of priorities. Just because someone can hack together something good enough (and not really from all the reviews I have seen) for they Cydia store, does not mean it is something easily made for Apple to release to customers they would like to continue doing business with.

    I agree most people seems to understand this guy is story is just a crock. The ones that don't are all a bit loopy.

  23. Re:Way too much coincidence on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 1

    Since they do not use the same mechanism to synch the devices to itunes, I am not sure your question is in anyway relevant. The fact that he copy and pasted two Apple logos together and then complained when they did the same thing with their own logos kind of shows the extent of his mental disorder.
