I'm not an Apple lover by any stretch, but any time I see such a skewed summary or article, I tend to ignore it. Wouldn't it be better to just say that Apple added several more Samsung devices to ongoing patent litigation?
HTC did the same thing with the One X. If I understand it correctly, it had something to do with the Tegra 3 chipset not being compatible with LTE radios or something like that. I personally tracked down an International HTC One X. Cost me the same as a non-contract US HTC One X but I got twice the internal storage, quad core cpu, and a gpu that's at least as fast as the one in the US HTC One X.
And no, I don't miss LTE support. HSPA+ works just fine for me.
I knew the world was going down the tubes when I was working on a computer in a social studies class at the high school. The teacher was talking about the elections in Russia. At one point, a teenage girl near the front raises her hand and asks: "Where is Russia? Thats like... in South America, isn't it?"
What scared me was not that the girl asked the question but that she did not get laughed out of the class by nearly as many of her classmates and she should have.
.... doesn't mean they're going to enforce it using unconstitutional methods like they do here in the states.
Fixed that for ya....
If running a premade script and following instructions someone else wrote makes me a hacker, does that mean I can go buy a toy store chemistry set, perform a few preset experiments and call myself a chemist?
Why is the lack of LTE lame? Are you that interested in being able to max your data cap faster than my HSPA+ phone can? Yes, LTE is technically the better service. But, in the US at least, HSPA+ support with a lack of LTE support is only really an issue if you are stuck in an area with good LTE coverage and no/spotty HSPA+ coverage.
This.... a thousand million times... this. I am so sick of the hero worship. Albert Einstein was a genius. Nikolai Tesla was a Genius. Thomas Edison was a great inventor and, arguably, a genius. Steve Jobs was none of these. He was a great salesman and perhaps even an extraordinary salesman, but not a genius. I heard some kid talking the other day about how Steve Jobs was a genius because he invented the smartphone and the MP3 player. It was all I could do to not slap the kid.
Let's be clear. Steve Jobs did NOT invent the smartphone. He did not invent MP3 players. He did not invent the personal computer. He merely repackaged those ideas into something else. Steve jobs was a great salesman, nothing more.
Who here honestly thought that Apple would actually apologize to Samsung? Judging from the posts I've read so far, a lot more than I would have expected. Just goes to show you that iDevice and Mac owners aren't the only deluded people in the world.
It's legal for my wife to jailbreak her iPhone 4s but not her iPad? Even though her iPhone can do almost everything that her iPad can do? I think we need to wipe out whatever they have written for the definition of "Arbitrary" in the dictionary and just put a link to this article.
The folks who stood in line for hours(or days in some cases), or ordered one online and still haven't seen it yet, got screwed. Not because of manufacturing delays, but because they bought a phone that was already out of date before it was even released. HTC and Samsung had better phones out eight and six months ago, respectively. I bought the one x. It has a better LCD, better resolution, better talk time, same resolution camera, NFC, WiFi direct, and a whole list of other things the "cutting edge" iPhone 5 doesn't have. And here's the punchline..... I paid $300 less for my One X than you did for the 32 gb iPhone 5.
There is a setting to prevent that under the App Store
A logical ruling on a patent case? Really? *looks around, bewildered* Is this America??
I assume this particular judge is aware that we don't live in a free country anymore and that the role of government is to listen to whoever has the most money. So what happened? Did Apple forget to send the six figure "judicial consultation fee?"
No.
SSD's, and hardware that takes full advantage of an SSD is awesome, but it doesn't completely transform what you can do on a computer.
It may not change what you can do, but a SSD definitely changes how much you can do and how quickly you can do it. In better than 21 years of being a computer nerd, I can't remember another single hardware upgrade that could change the perfomance of an average computer by so much as even a budget SSD can.
