Comment Low quality article (Score 4, Insightful) 324

I personally don't think 16GB is enough, but the article is just an unsupported click-bait rant with no supporting evidence. "struck sour for even some of the company's biggest fans" - not just any fans, "biggest" fans. "But it suffers from some skepticism about its long-term prospects." - from the author no doubt. Having a 16GB phone is "... just a vague hedge against eventual future bankruptcy." WTF? How can you hedge against an "eventual" bankruptcy? "That's a somewhat understandable impulse for an incredibly successful company that actually experienced a near-bankruptcy back in the late 1990s." Yep, they're acting on "impulse". Can't even be specific about the date - sometime back in the... 1990s? A thoroughly researched article with a well reasoned and persuasive argument.

Comment Important omission (Score 1) 440

This part is missing from the summary: He does however point out that his partnership [sic] Jobs was important. A great product wouldn't do anyone any good unless it sells - and for that you need a company: "So it's very important, even if you are not a business man, find someone who is."

Comment Grammar? (Score 4, Insightful) 172

I found the summary of this article very confusing. Phrases such as "At the other hand" and "indexing altogether"?? Oh, and call me ignorant for not understanding what "IR" means. Infrared? Then I read the article and found that the summary is just a badly strung together quotation of the text, including all of the grammatical errors. I'm still confused, but slightly less so.
