What exactly are your criticisms of what he's said? It makes sense to me (though I am no physicist).

All the ones that I'm sure he would have passed up anyway.

It's not as simple as them just trying to make more money. If they don't respond to the new and emerging threads from rivals, Google could eventually fail. This is part of the reason they extend into so many different areas such as Android. It's not just about making more profit; it's about ensuring long term survival.

This article is pure Android FUD, carriers have been stuffing phones with useless and unremovable crapware forever, regardless of the OS. Apple is the only phone manufacturer (at least of smart phones) that has managed to avoid this.

You are confused, this has nothing to do with Android. Carriers have been installing bloatware on phones for years, regardless of OS. Apple fortunately has managed to spare the iPhone. Calling this an "Android" problem is pure FUD.

Some of us actually don't mind. Apple's behavior is a big deal, and could have far reaching effects that affect everyone. If you don't like it, don't read it.

No, you posted your response because you're being ignorant. 4G is a big deal. It's the next big thing in cell phone technology. OF COURSE it's a big deal.

You're being elitist and ignorant, not Insightful.

You just happen to love Microsoft. Why do you hate freedom?

Thank you for your suggestions... But Flash on Activity makes it even more annoying, because now it's flashing all the time. There is no way to turn it off.

I don't want to turn my computer off, I want to put it to sleep. I don't want to have to close all my programs. I can't tell a difference between sleeping with the lid on or off, the light seems the same either way.

I think Apple makes great products, but this whole "always leave a stupid light on" makes me think they don't actually use their own products. Their laptops and the Airport Express both insist on ALWAYS having a light on, that is very noticeable in an otherwise dark room. It is really, really annoying.

What is the number one complaint against the iPhone, Android's main competitor? The fact that it's only available on one network, AT&T, and it sucks.

So what network does Google decide to use for its flagship phone? The one carrier that is worse than AT&T: T-Mobile.

I mean seriously, what did you expect?

Well, they did catch Faisal Shahzad due to the watch list. After the fact... Thanks to a street vendor... And the airline screwed up so he almost got away... And yet the no-fly watch list worked nonetheless.

Do you know what plots will be foiled due to the intelligence they will now gather, that you will never hear about because they were prevented?

So you are telling me that a dedicated, built from scratch minimal "circuit", specifically designed to solve a particular mathematical problem, where even in the inputs have been specially converted to make it easier for the circuit to process, and the "output" is likewise interpreted in the native capacity of the circuit, is many times a faster than a general purpose entire computer, that has been designed to complete not only thousands of specific tasks, but also untold number of unknown ones, under a huge variety hardware platforms?

Duh, not shit Sherlock.

I understand they're trying to say that quantum computing could be many times faster than today's CPUs, but a simple comparison like this is a non-comparison. Talk about comparing apples and oranges... When you have something resembling a general purpose circuit that can take arbitrary inputs and outputs, then maybe we can start comparing to a modern CPU...

The reality is that BOTH are the problem. The product should have been designed with matching software and hardware (i.e. if webOS needs faster hardware, it should've had it; or it should've been optimized better for the hardware it does have). But I say in this case it's more webOS's fault because other mobile platforms with similar functionality (iPhone, Droid) work just fine on a similarly powered CPU.

By the way I tried using patches, but I didn't realize you needed to uninstall them all before an OS upgrade and it messed up some of my apps. I'll probably try your suggestion anyway. My point still stands though. If the Droid can run a similarly functioning OS without the same performance issues, it is webOS's fault.
