I agree but even now it's not meaningless. A browser isn't just a rendering engine. I use Chrome on iOS for several reasons (Bookmark sync, Tab sync, better interface). Being able to set the default browser and the default maps ap

$400 seems expensive. For half the price, you can get a Nexus 7 (2013). It appears Apple still strongly believes the iOS ecosystem is far greater than Android for tablets.

Yes, downvotes don't change the truth of the observation because it was never true. Your observation is unfortunately based on a typical fallacy. Android has always been, and still is meaningfully open. Google apps are closed source an

The screen is a disgusting piece of shit. Colors are inaccurate, brightness is low, scrolling leaves artifacts because of Pentile subpixel arrangement. Every other thing about this phone is also terrible. The way the phone sits on your hand

Resolution is not the only criteria to judge a display. Color accuracy, calibration, contrast, gamma, viewing angles are also important. I have both devices and I can comfortably say Nexus 7's display is much worse. Images appear washe

I have to say that I dislike the fanboyish tone of the article. "The theft of iDevices is rampant throughout the world. While we might blame Apple for producing such desirable products, the company clearly doesn’t want people to have t

My argument is that he is an hypocrite. I'm not trying to disprove his argument. In fact I agree with it 100%.

Maybe not. But it's hypocritical of him to not criticize Apple for pushing for an app-oriented mobile experience and using patents to block the progress of HTML5 APIs.

The point is, he has open source and free alternatives to Safari, that are equally good or arguably better. If he really cares about openness, I wonder why it hasn't influenced his decision.

by esolyt 13y ago
Chrome is Chromium with Flash and a proprietary PDF reader. "A ton of proprietary code" isn't an accurate statement. You are also free to use Chromium (100% open source and free software), like I do.

It's ironic though, that this post is coming from Macro. He hates Chrome (open source and free software) and uses Safari. He hates Android (open source and free software) and uses and develops for iOS. I sense hypocrisy.

An Apple fan complaining about Google not being "open" enough. Wow. Remember everyone: "Open web" is very important! But your browser itself doesn't need to be open source. Use Safari instead of Chrome. Your OS does

Typography is now beautiful and something to show off. There is no need for glossy UI elements or textures to hide it. If you look at iOS and early Android, everything they did was to hide the ugliness resulting from low-res screen. Today,

It's not a fad. The reason we are moving towards flat design is high resolution displays. Flat design emphasizes typography which isn't ugly anymore.
