Ironically, you're the one who's blindly believing something you read on the internet.

Dumb phones last a week or more, smartphones last about a day. That's expectation. When they become more energy efficient, the manufacturer's use that to make them thinner in preference to extending the battery life much.

For suer if you don't feel the need for mobile apps or web browsing, there's something to be said for dumb phones. HOWEVER, the Nokia 2610 is one of the worst phones ever made. It has a tinted plastic cover over the screen that is so dark it's virtually impossible to see the screen whilst you are outdoors. If you're going to make the case for dumb phones don't make it with an 8 year old phone that's one of the worst ever made. Go to a phone store and replace it with a $10 pre-paid and you've got a better phone.

Also the largest distiller of Vodka and brewer of Irish Stout. And they're all the same company. So much for national drinks.

Rather that than being run by nazis.

Indeed. Also, with analyst reports the first question should always be, who paid the analyst. This analyst has much of the traditional automobile industry as customers. But not Tesla. Telling customers what they want to hear is good business for analysts.

It's got nothing to do with holding it at right angles. It's a question of orthographic projection vs perspective projection. You're expecting orthographic projection, but it's actually perspective projection.

You're displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of perspective. The way to hide the projection is to view it from up close, not a long way away. In the same way that you can see a 3 foot house chimney from a distance but you can't see it when you are standing a few feet from the door.

Jobs didn't design the old iPhones, Johnny Ive did. And Johnny Ive also designed the new iPhone. The iPhone 6 certainly doesn't look worse than previous iPhones. It's just that with so many iPhone copies out there, it's rather less of a one-off.

Pyongyang is far better.

You'd be worried if you had ebola. It's most likely to kill you, and it 's a very painful and nasty death.

Unlikely. He would have had to select both "Automatically download purchased content" and "Automatically download via Cellular". Neither of which are the defaults. The latter being rather stupid if you have a limited cellular data plan.

Virtually all decisions are. Including most of the products you, MessageDrivenBean, buy. Your brain doesn't work any different from the rest of humanity.

The amount of RAM on mobile systems is irrelevant as long as apps run. Apps do not run faster just because you have more RAM. At best more RAM will speed reload of an app, as it's less likely to have to be reloaded from Flash.

The only people that should be complaining about RAM is developers, as they will be the ones affected if their app hits the RAM ceiling. But this is not a complaint that iOS app developers are making - I'm a registered developer and follow iOS topic on Stack Overflow, so I'd be aware if this was an issue amongst developers.

The only other people that would possibly be interested are the people who play pointless feature list one-upmanship.

That is the very opposite of the truth.

Siri was included with iOS 5 which came out in Oct 2011.

The Android equivalent didn't come along till Jelly Bean, which came out in July 2012.

It's possible that you are thinking about an app that came out for Android earlier. But if so you are forgetting that such apps were available for iOS first. Siri itself was available as an app on iOS in Feb 2010.

And all three are necessary.

We all love to hate marketing. But the fact is that people make most decisions subconsciously. And not just buying decisions. Some say emotionally, but there's a whole host of other sub-concious factors influencing our decisions, such as habit and hunger. Marketing exists not because of scammers and liars trying to outdo each other, but because informing people about products by way of facts and figures such as feature lists doesn't work - because that's not how people make decisions most of the time.

For sure there are liars out there, such as the purveyors of skin creams. But most marketing is about invoking subconcious feelings about a product, not misleading about what the product is or does.
