I'd be very surprised if iOS 6 included Siri for the 3GS (or even the 4, for that matter).

Really? That's actually quite surprising to me. I'd say at this point in my undergrad the majority of people in my class use Linux, followed by OS X, followed by Windows (as their development machine, I'm confident that a good number of tho

Just because they don't use OS X doesn't mean they use Windows. As a Computer Science student I'm willing to bet that most of those that "banter" on the parent use Linux.

Samsung hasn't said anything, or at least there isn't a press release that I've been able to find. You're taking words from Apple Insider and putting them into Samsung's mouth.

I think you missed the point. Look at Apple's MacBook line, for example. While it's true Apple makes great products, there are plenty of laptops out there with higher resolution displays, better processors, more RAM, and better video cards.

> Everyone who has an iPod transitioning to the iPhone? Bingo, although I think it's more like "everyone who has an iPhone (or any smartphone, really) doesn't feel the need to also have an iPod".

> i remember one analyst telling, chinese new year is important for smartphone sales too. I never thought of that, very good point. I'd actually be very interested in seeing how many iPhones were sold in emerging markets.

Last quarter was a holiday quarter, so I think the drop in iPhone sales is expected. They only sold 2 million fewer in this quarter, which I think is pretty amazing.

I'm impressed with the amount of hype Samsung is creating with this device, even if it is mostly inside of the tech crowd. Great job, Samsung.

Fair enough. I assumed he was talking about being obsolete hardware wise. I'll agree that Android updates aren't exactly timely, but saying they're abandoned completely after a few months is a bit unfair.

As others have mentioned, there are plenty of good Ruby tutorials around. Personally, I thought "why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby"[1] was pretty great. It goes off topic quite a lot, but I think it's a joy to read while still learning the cor

I never understand this argument. How is an Android phone more obsolete than an iPhone after 3 months? Technology progresses just as fast in both cases.

Aren't the on screen controls almost always hidden? The only time I could see them actually getting in the way would be while adjusting the volume, but I'm fairly certain most (if not almost all) laptops come with hardware volume buttons no

Laptops are still used as a media device for many, so mimicking the resolution of televisions makes sense in those cases. Personally, I prefer a 16:10 screen because I spend more time programming than watching videos on my laptop, but I'm s

This is great news. I tried Kubuntu briefly and I thought it was a great project for those familiar with Ubuntu but looking for an alternative desktop environment.
