Why Android is better than iPhone.

No, just how the "i" people suddenly change their tune when a product is released from Apple. This includes all the big A biased websites and tech reviewers.

Once upon a time.......

Steve Jobs... "These are among the reasons we think the current crop of 7-inch tablets are going to be DOA, dead on arrival. Their manufacturers will learn the painful lesson that their tablets are too small and increase the size next year, thereby abandoning both customers and developers who jumped on the 7-inch bandwagon with an orphan product. Sounds like lots of fun ahead."

The "i" people and reviewers all went along with this, because Steve said so, and like little sheeplings, and even on this forum, proclaimed how much better and smarter a bigger tablet is over the 7" tabs of the day, proclaiming 7" tabs as useless.

Fast forward, and suddenly the 7" concept is a "great idea", and renders "the larger iPad as useless".

Yes, nauseating to watch and read.

Just wait til Apple gets rid of the utterly retarded physical home button and introduces a better way to do multitasking on a smartphone/tablet via touching and swiping.

Then the nausea will start all over again as a great Apple innovation.

I did not get the 7.9" yet, but i can tell you this, i will definitely need to have both a 10" and a 7.9" in my house...as the 10" is the PERFECT size for a tablet, the 7.9" looks cool to own and smaller for easier portability.

And the other guys did make 10 inch Tablets, to survive. And the only reason 7 inch tablets even became successful, $$PRICE$$...but people actually do prefer a 10 inch Tablet.

People do have a thing for CUTE, and thats what the iPad Mini IS!!!

TV's can sense if you are not in the room, and switches off.

Muchless a smartphone.....Samsung made this possible with Smartstay(but i don't have smartstay on custom ROM).

Why are you still using buttons to turn your screen off??

It is Just as easy to push a button as it is to swipe

was just teasing....i use the button too sometimes, when i forget to swipe, or i have an app icon to screen off, or lastly the screen off built in timer.

I prefer not to use the button, for longevity sake.
 
Played with a BB10 device yesterday, seems cool. Doubt it's going to be enough to bring RIM back to the forefront but at least it will be a competitive product.

Incidentally the phone looked identical to an iPhone5, forgot to ask if it's final hardware though.

You seem to care a lot about what Apple does and what people who like their products think.

People have in Apple have said many things that go contrary to what they do now. Do you think the smart thing to do is continue and hold fast to something you said before that is proving to be wrong? Or to grow, change and adopt something new and make an attempt to improve it or give their customers a good product that works?

Seems pretty obvious that only a stupid person would never recant, and hold fast to something they said before that no longer is true.

Every tech article that reviews a product is biased, as everyone using that tech device is going to like or dislike something different about it, depending on how it suits them. Getting all huffy puffy when you dont like a product and someones reviews... well make sure you have some blood pressure pills and a doctor on stand by for when you blow a gasket because you did not like an article written about a consumer product. This is not a holy war, not some grand conspiracy to trick the masses into submission to a dictator who will enslave them all, its a tech consumer product that works for some and not for others.
 
This is the perfect reason why you don`t invest in tech stocks they are speculative and their share price doesn`t accurately reflect their true value.

Investors aren't confident anymore for the reasons listed in the article, and they are truly valid. Its clear, at this point, that they are not as formidable as they once were.

Designing products that are difficult to quickly mass produce certainly doesnt help their cause and will ultimately raise prices and/or chew profit. The iPhone5, and now the new iMac is delayed cause factories are having trouble producing them.

The management shakeup isn't confidence inspiring either.

Cook needs to be replaced.

No, they'll be talking about Steve Jobs, and how Apple was unstoppable under his control.

Steve Jobs will certainly be remembered, but you're discounting the effect Jony Ive's designs have had on the industry. His legacy as a designer is already firmly cemented.

Just look at how many products out there directly copy Apple's designs. As the saying goes, plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

Look at this way, how many other designers in the tech world are even known by the general public?

Yes, it really is, since Jobs was such a huge admirer of Sony and really wanted to be like them when Sony was the powerhouse of their day, and copied their designs.

Also debatable, but I wont get into it....but the original iPhone was a Sony design rip off too.

You can draw a much straighter line from Dieter Rams designs to today's Apple products than you can from that Sony.

Jony I've has publicly stated the influence Rams has had, he even wrote the forward for one of Rams' books
 
Even the new Macbook Pro Retina is receiving tepid reviews.

How much does that overpriced iThing cost again?

:laughing3:

"The Retina MacBook Pro was supposed to be the "it" computer, unfortunately it isn't."

"you're going to be paying a high price for something that's probably not really worth it."

"While it's another gorgeous piece of hardware from Apple, it's not a laptop you should buy."

"but if you’re expecting your $1,699 investment to last a few years, you should look elsewhere."

"the graphics chip struggles to drive that display"

"You’ll also notice some general lag when you start multitasking heavily. Open more than a few tabs and apps and you’ll start to notice things slowing down around the system as a whole."

"I couldn’t even watch the opening cutscene, and there was so much input lag it took me a few tries to get the mouse arrow onto the quit menu to stop the pain."

Jony Ive talking about the 20th anniversary Mac fifteen years ago. Amazing that his design vision has remained the same throughout the years

Yup, amazing vision. They (he) saw the future form factor of computing decades ahead it happening. No surprise that the majority of cell phones resemble the iPhone now. Makes me wonder what his vision is for the next 10 years, and why the hell he isn't in charge of Apple right now? I can only imagine that he turned down the job, nothing else makes sense.

Something I have learned is that if you are too could at what you do you will be stuck doing it and never get ahead. As the old saying goes, "don't make yourself irreplaceable because you will never get anywhere".
