Really? I have a Galaxy Tab, it's ridiculous for Samsung to suggest otherwise...
I actually have a Galaxy Tab (P1000, 10.1 and 7.7, work has them for testing as well as Ipads and several other Android tab's)
You've got to be certifiably retarded to think it's anything like an Ipad. To begin with, the difference between the 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio is a dead give away. Not to mention the Gal Tab's have the giant word "Samsung" on the bezel (or the back) and the fact that the Android lock screen in Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwitch and Jelly Bean looks radically different to IOS.
The only way you could not notice these differences is if you've never used the Gal Tab.
Do you think the German company won't go after Android apps? Side loading doesn't mean anything when someone shuts the developer down.
Yes,
Because going after Android app's would be certifiably insane.
I'd be willing to bet Google will simply tell them to fob off (in nice terms), so they'll have to attempt to sue the developers individually who are in many jurisdictions which have different laws. In some countries like Australia, the courts would tear this company a new one for just trying this kind of bollocks.
They wont sue because it's an extortion racket and they picked Apple because they thought Apple would cave in and pay them (what Apple would consider) a small amount (but Apple didn't).
Came here to say this too. Check "Allow Unknown Sources" in Settings, open.apk, install app. Perfectly allowable within the default Android setup, and yes, this is the setup that 95% of carriers use. (I've heard of some carriers taking away the Unknown Sources checkbox, but to my knowledge it's very uncommon.)
AT&T used to not allow that, but once people started trying to download Amazon's app store and got a ton of flak over it. AT&T quickly gave people the ability to do so.
AT&T being the operative word.
The downside of an open system is that people can use it for evil. The upside of an open system is that if they do that, you simply dont buy from them.
Sinofsky had only good things to say about his former employer
When I was laid off years ago, in order to get my severance package, I had to sign an agreement to *not* say bad things about the company in the press. I imagine this guy had $Millions on the line if he does say anything disparaging. Hell, if the MS lawyers are any good, they made sure that any companies that he forms within N years have to use MS products exclusively. (or at least for the public facing computers)
Which is why I'm glad I live in a country where those kind of contracts are illegal.
That being said, the guy may genuinely not want to bag a company he spent years working in even though he's been retrenched.
I agree re helpdesk, and I'd like to agree with you re linesmen, however at my former employer, it took 13 visits by linesmen to get 6 lines installed at new premises, over the course of 3 months. It was an absolute disaster.
Were they Telstra linesmen or contractor linesmen?
The old Telstra employed ones were good, the contractors are shite. A lot like Aus Post, the old posties used to be decent, the contractors throw parcels out the window of their van, you're lucky if it hits near your front door.
Unfortunately, shite contractors are what happens when you farm work out to the cheapest contractors.
I feel like this post should end with a stern warning for young people to vacate my greenery.
Telstra are a notoriously dodgy company with a history of being idiots when it comes to customer's privacy and account security. Have a read of this for one of their latest privacy blunders...
Never blame malice for what can easily be blamed for stupidity.
Telstra's consumer level staff are notoriously incompetent. Their linesmen are generally OK (thanks to the union pushing for training) but their helpdesk/home support is an insult to trained monkeys everywhere.
Or, indeed, try to avoid using the modems/routers sold by telcos/ISPs. The ones they try to sell you usually suck anyway... I've always preferred to use my own. Bought a good high-end ADSL2+ modem/router quite a few years ago and it's served me well through 3 or 4 ISPs.
This. Most ISP's including good ISP's like iinet and Internode (now part of the iiborg) sell the finest, cheapest Belkin for about twice what you'd pay outright for them. I think an ISP sold Fritzboxes for a while (but they may have become part of the iiborg by now).
If you want a quality ADSL modem/router for use with an Oz ISP you need to buy it yourself. Chances are it'll be cheaper than going through an ISP anyway.
(you can take my Linksys WRT54G from my cold dead hands, I'd probably die of old age long before it did).
Also, people should be avoiding Telstra as a matter of principle anyway:)
To be fair, Telstra Mobile pre-paid is not bad these days for price, speed and coverage. VHA and Optus both have terrible networks, plus I refuse to do business with Optus on principal.
However I'd happily avoid Telstra's other services.
Yes, and this is why games are still being made DX9 compatible.
Uh.. no. That is because you use the same engine for the 360 and PC, and the 360 is basically DX9. If you're doing a PC only version windows xp is still 40% of the gamer market (steam hardware survey), and well... you make dx 9.
So basically you agree with me and that "Uh, no" bit was a typo.
XP is still a large enough market segment to ignore. If you're producing an indie game, you might not even bother with DX10 and up.
Yes, and this is why games are still being made DX9 compatible. It wasn't until Windows 7 gained some traction that DX10 actually became viable though even today making a DX10/11 only game is not a good prospect given the spectacular failures of DX10 only games.
DX 10/11 will be around for some time unfortunately.
I think Samsung probably has enough other sources of income to weather any ill effects.
More accurately, Samsung has enough other customers that they can afford to lose Apple. The phone market is huge and Apple is a small part of that now. Samsung could probably sell their products to other manufacturers for more profit.
IIRC, Tim Cook was the guy that thought ahead to procure large inventories of flash memory. That kept the cost low and ensured they could meet consumer demand --something Apple has famously struggled with. This patent spat was initiated by Jobs, not Cook (remember Jobs saying he'd use the last cent of the company to sue any other company using 'their' ideas??). Cook has the option to make peace and get back to making computers, not enemies.
Cook had every opportunity to end it.
They could have bought Samsung to the table. With the way the case was going (Read: how biased Judge Koh was) they would have jumped at the chance. Cook could have dismissed their claims agianst Samsung without predjudice...
But Cook didn't. He's cut from the same cloth as Jobs.
Not sure where this nonsense really came from, HTC were *very* successful last year on the back of Android, now other companies are producing more compelling products, and it sells less [there are other reasons], but HTC is still profitable, its just it has the same cost of sales...with lower sales. They are very far from their last legs. They are not Nokia.
HTC has made a few decisions over the last year that has put them offside with consumers. Locked bootloaders, sense becoming more bloated, the elimination of the Z series (keyboard phones) and slow updates[1] have made them less desirable. HTC did very well with the Desire range of phones putting them into the hands and minds of average consumers. Due to the problems mentioned above and lacklustre new offerings (until the One line) they have lost the initiative to Samsung and Sony. The lack of a low end phone that competes with the LG Optimus Spirt and Samsung Galaxy Ace has also hurt them.
But HTC is still strong and the writing is far from the wall. What HTC needs to do is:
1. Bootloaders, unlock them.
2. Update fast, update often.
3. Have a series of phones with a common template (such as the Desire/Desire HD/Desire Z).
[1] To be 100% fair, carriers tend to delay updates more than HTC.
Mint is an end-user distribution targeted to the same public that uses Ubuntu. The main difference between them is the UI. Mint decided to keep the traditional UI, while Ubuntu chose to go to Unity,
I've been using Linux Mint as a replacement for Ubuntu after Ubuntu tried to Mac-ify the UI.
I want a desktop Linux distro as a drop in replacement for Windows that I can use in situations where there is no requirement for Windows software. So I don't want to have to modify the UI to get it looking the same for people who have learned how to use a computer by rote memorisation on Windows. If I wanted to modify everything I'd be installing Debian or Gentoo.
Apple Inc. products are as fashionable as a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry (the comparison stops there, these cars are fairly priced and of excellent quality).
Yep, I'd compare them to the Kia Rio, which is generally of poor quality and overpriced for what it is.
But the Iphone has become the Camry of phones. They are not fashionable, cant go fast, handle like crap and everyone on the dole can afford one. The biggest difference is that the Camry comes in more colours.
Easiest answer:
Run an audit.
That is what I do. I run an audit on all access methods and devices and change the Pwd while I am at it.
The easiest answer, pray.
A bad (as in lazy, surly, abusive) sysadmin who left traps will leave them in places not detectable by an audit.
I have yet to go to a business as a sysadmin where they didn't use default passwords (P@ss1234, now how many businesses use that gem) which are on just about every device or local admin account. The smartest businesses had a different default password for each type of device/account but you end up with password reuse across a pattern of devices and accounts. The thing is, almost no business will go around and change this on every single device/server when someone who knows the password leaves.
I left my last position on less than amicable terms (basically they were setting me up to get sacked by giving me impossible tasks, so I chose to leave). The CEO had no clue, but my boss understood I knew the public IP addresses, domain admin/root passwords and router passwords of our 5 biggest clients off by heart. I could see the fear in his eyes when I left (it was senior managements decision to sack me, they wanted to downsize without having to pay anyone out). Of course I'd never actually do anything harmful to that business (they were doing that well enough on their own) but anyone who employs a sysadmin knows that you need to hire trustworthy people and treat them well or it will turn around to bite you in the arse.
Hiring good people and not pissing them off is pretty much the only defence.
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.
And if you include all Android phones made by Samsung in Q3...
Oh my.
Nice try to obfuscate, but we are comparing one model (all SKU's) to another model (all SKU's) not one model to all IOS phones as the Iphone 5 is a different model (not an Iphone 4S SKU).
The Galaxy Note II alone sold 3 million in Q3, lets not even think about cheaper Samsung Galaxy phones.
It is true that the article mentions the iPhone 5 sold 6 million units, but you claimed that that the actual comparison includes iPhone 5 sales and it doesn't. Just to be clear, they compared the 16 million iPhone 4S units sold to 18 million GS3 units sold when making the statement that the GS3 outsold the iPhone 4S. They could have compared the iPhone 5's 6 million units sold, but most thinking people would realize that's not a fair comparison because it was only on sale for a small part of Q3.
Remember that we are ignoring the fact both the SGS3 and the Iphone had a multiude of SKU's with different HW configurations, both phones had CDMA and GSM versions as well as various memory sizes and colour options based off the same template, so we are counting all SKU's under the SGS3 and Iphone 4S branding. The Iphone 5 is not the same phone as the Iphone 4S as it is a new design nor does it fall under the same brand.
So if we include all Iphones sold by Apple regardless of model, to be fair we have to count all Android smartphones sold by Samsung... Feel like doing the numbers on that.:)
Apple has the advantage that they only sell one phone and call it the iPhone. Samsung on the other hand has many Samsung Galaxy devices. A similar phenomenon exists for LG Optimus phones. So almost all of Apple's sales are concentrated on a single device. I wonder who sells more phones overall.
I was waiting for it. The bad excuse that fanboys use to convince themselves this isn't happening. The different SGS 3 devices are akin to the fact Apple sells Iphones with Samsung, LG or Sharp screens, or the fact they have a 16, 32 or 64 GB SKU or do you honestly think there is no hardware difference between the Sprint/Verizon CDMA Iphones and the GSM Iphones? The SGS3 outsold the Iphone, you need to deal with it.
Or more important, who makes more profit overall. I think Apple is still king on that one.
You're right that this is important to a lot of people, but not for the reason you think. The fact that Apple is making more profit than Samsung per unit means that by buying a Samsung, I will likely get a much better deal.
The litany of predictions does not bode well for Apple.
In the beginning Apple fanboys said "Android will never sell" and Android sold.
Next Apple fanboys said "Android would never outsell Iphones" and Android outsold Iphones.
Then they said, "No single Android device will outsell Iphones" and the SGS3 outsold the Iphone.
Please predict something epic next, I enjoy seeing them proven wrong.
