Point of order: notifications owe far more to Palm than they do to Android. The engineer who developed them was hired away from Palm. > it becomes boring to use an iPhone, no novelty, no surprise Apple will always face this sort of criticism because: 1. Geeks do want novelty/surprises/the ability to tinker. 2. Geeks are a minority of customers in the real world. 3. Geeks are a majority in those who are vocal online. A lot of people I know won't use an iPhone because it's "closed" or, back before the 4, because it didn't have a dual core processor. Meanwhile, millions of people who for years craved stability, reliability and simple UX design continue to buy, use and love iPhones every year. Lyons is a troll. We should be above feeding trolls on HN.
