What's the point of making an internal presentation of all the points where the iPhone is worse and Samsung is better? Samsung is trying to _improve_ their products, so they'll obviously compare their perceived products weak points against

And on what do you base your assumption that a Nexus 7 is held closer than an iPad? All those numbers presented seem to be tailored to fit your "calculations". (11,75" vs 13" .. how do you come up with that?)

I suppose they expect good business relations in the future, like access to natural resources. What else could possibly come to mind? Sounds like a win-win situation to me. One side needs infrastructure badly and the other natural resources

Please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I can see not a single feature that is compared in this article is exclusive to ICS. Those features are also available on 2.2 and 2.3, so the whole discussion about "ICS is vaporware" is irrele

You can't expect that a game with 3D graphics will run on some random 50$ device. If you want 3D graphics on your mobile device, then you'll have to pay for adequate hardware. (like you do for your PC if you want to run Crysis 2 or somethin

Sorry, my fault, you are right that it is allowed in some states. But my wrong perception came from the reality how weapons are actually used here. And aside from the most extreme situations, like someone who takes hostages and threatens to

Shooting to kill is under no circumstance allowed in Germany or Austria (for police and civilians) and it doesn't matter if it is more practical to aim for center mass and fire 10 times, because it's law over here. If an aspiring police off

How many devices do the Instagram developers use? Since there's only one guy developing the Android version it's hard to imagine that he uses 400 devices. If he did, there would be no time for writing code.

You can do this on Android: 1) Filter via your manifest file: Allow installation only on devices with certain screen sizes or hardware like GPS or Camera (Description: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/market-filters.h... ) 2) F

This approach doesn't work on any existing mobile or desktop platform (web apps included). You always target a specific audience, that meets certain minimum hardware/OS requirements. (for example a modern GPU/RAM/OS for 3D games)
