"Apple has arrived at a very safe place, it is responsible for something everybody loves, so it feels it has to keep it going."
Not quite. Apple is responsible for something many people love. Not me. I much prefer the features of Android to the point that I wouldn't consider an iPhone. iOS is an inferior product for functionality (specifically, customizability of the user interface) and it doesn't play well with non-Apple software and has excessively restrictive controls on what the user can do with their device. I have other issues with Google (their data use policies). There's room in my mind and wallet for a new player with better for the customer data use policies and an Android-like feature set.
Yeah its called BlackBerry.

I do like it more in general. However, I like it more because I am not a marketing tool for Google when I use Firefox. I can also install more privacy and ad blocking related extensions when I use Firefox. These are the main reasons why I use Firefox. There are others, more stable, less headaches from end users, etc. Browsers aside, the real problem is Flash. It really needs to die. Security risks up the wazoo, memory leaks galore, and made the web a shit filled advertisted and prostituted out pop up freak fest. Flash fuck you. Adobe you ruined the web.
IE you suck less now, but Microsoft you need to put your foot down and ban Flash from Windows.
The only good thing Apple ever gave to us was no flash on iOS. HTML5 or bust please.

Chrome has flash built in, super annoying, its one of the reason I stick with FF.

The country is already divided pretty equally down the middle. Religious zealots want pro life, guns, war, and no Gubberment. Non religious sensible folk want universal health care, no war, no class warfare, etc. Basically you can choose to progress to the future or regress to a cave, depending on which side you choose.

Send all the uneducated religious people south of the Dixie line, us educated, non secular folk go north. Give it 15 years and see how each side turned out.

Submission + - Nvidia loses huge order due to binary blob (phoronix.com)
David Gerard writes: "Phoronix reports: The Chinese, who also developed the Loongson MIPS CPU, were looking to order at least ten million graphics processors. The problem is that the GeForce/Quadro driver from NVIDIA is only available for Linux x86 and x86_64 architectures, not MIPS or even ARM (only the Tegra driver is for ARMv7). NVIDIA refused to release the source-code to their high-performance feature-complete cross-platform driver to the Chinese, and it would cost them millions of dollars to port the code-base, so they went to AMD for their GPU order."

No! Diversifying is the worst idea! One phone, one model, keep it simple. Android is too fractured, iPhone has one model, with a service pack released about every 9 months. Apple success is because of the simplicity, one model with slight hardware variations over the course of what like 5 years? Which means most apps on the 3GS works on the 4S. OS5 apps don't always work well with OS6, and wont even run on OS7. I love my Blackberry (Have the Torch 8910, wish I had a Bold 9900...) and my Playbooks! OS2 is amazing!
Ditch the Curve, Torch, Storm, Pearl, That silly flip phone thingy, and stick to the Bold. Keep the Qwerty, more battery life and security hype, and hammer it home that App World has just as many app's as any other App store out there (Take away the 1000's of duplicates and you have about 33,000 unique apps, about the same as BB App World.)
Go #TeamBlackBerry!
