   There is already a thread about it being down because problems with AWS. Not sure this warrants another thread on HN. Maybe once we know the technical reason behind it, we can discuss more?

   The chart you posted was about revenues not profits. Same argument applies to Amazon also but they are at least making some profit. The strategy of pursuing revenue and growth only makes sense for so long. At some point you have to cash tha

   He is better off making sure that his company is not facing the end soon. For a company that is in business for almost a decade, they are yet to turn a profit.

   One bad experience can change the perception. Interesting snub at Google by recommending Bing maps over Google :)

   Must be. Because anything Microsoft does better especially in the areas of security must be flawed or propaganda </sarcasm>

   That is not true. It is based more on reputation. May be you should first learn more about it before spreading misinformation : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/05/17/smartscreen-17...

    Actually it is possible to show the benefits of OIS without video. It allows you to use longer shutter speeds when taking pictures in low light. Take a look at this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j...

    920 has rounded edges that make it comfortable to hold. the sharp (jewel like!!) edges of iphone make it uncomfortable. Lumia 900 is very similar in how it feels in hand. Give it a shot and decide for yourself.

    so you are convinced that Apple used siri in all those commercials they show?

    read the message above you. The lenses have different focal length. 920 gives you broader field of view so you can get wider picture and more light. iPhone doesn't. That's why iPhone looks zoomed in.

    I doubt I'd call it faked. Would you call siri ads faked? Everybody who has used it can vouch that it just doesn't work let alone in noisy downtown. It was a promo video used when revealing a product (not an ad broadcast on TV) that was try

    Not surprised. If there is one feedback so far about the new iOS6, its that it needs work.

    For a browser to be hacked days before it is even released on large scale speaks of Apple's security practices.

    android to me is really a poorly designed inconsistent mess. Windows phone has a fresh design with intuitive design and the Lumia 920 hardware is frankly better than anything available out there.

    Though Amazon never extracts any marketing mileage out of the openness of android. Google just sounds disingenuous here

    Just with the market share they have, they are the ones who have the most to lose if the botnets spread. Unfortunately things like these get unnoticed...
