I have an iPad and web apps suck on it too. What is your benchmark for good performance? I'm being serious as I'd love to be able to have a legitimate mobile outlet for high performance web applications.

"That's no different from using HTML5+JavaScript against browser specific APIs" Sure it is if those browsers are cross-platform. I doubt the Windows 8 APIs are cross platform.

"web applications to first-class citizens alongside the native apps. Android fails at this pretty badly" Android isn't "failing" at something that it isn't trying to do. Web apps generally suffer from low performance when trying to do anyt

I think you might be missing the point. Android does a great job of integrating data from the cloud with the operating system. An example is the Google Music player streams your music from the cloud and integrates the player controls with

Do you really think the management at that Burger King are that stupid? Put yourself in their position. Say you get this picture. First you don't take it seriously then you look at it and recognize the employee as the lady at the BK in q

That's a pretty worthless example with nothing to compare it against. Had the developers released it on iOS or Android and had more success on Windows Phone then you would have an argument otherwise you really don't.

"The choice they made was that we need not shoehorn interfaces into desktop or touch categories." Imposing a touch centric UI onto traditional desktops is the very definition of shoehorning. "Why not be able to touch your laptop?" Having a

It's just like how Ballmer came out recently railing about how no stone would be left unturned competing with Apple and how MS responded to Linux in the early netbook era. For a global tech company these days you cede nothing. No matter h

"They bought their way into search via the Yahoo deal." That has only really bore fruit in the US though. MS have less than 5 percent share of search worldwide. "Google bought their way into search by paying firefox" Google actually had a

Have you considered the possibility that Schmidt the man actually believes that Bing is competitive with Google and sees this as something to rally against? How is that lying* and spinning? I would consider an executive to be remiss to ar

Google Docs has both of the shortcuts you mention working correctly and many more so it is definitely possible.

Exactly right and one of the main things I missed about Ubuntu on my desktop over Android on my Xoom was Android's seamless integration of "cloud" data and the operating system. In comparison desktop OSs feel like a collection of silos. I

Wouldn't have happened had they not wasted 6 billion on aQuantive trying to buy their way into search. Google paddled that bottom.

"Bing may be losing money but if MS keeps it in place, it will be able to capture search if Google just happens to seriously stumble somehow." Really? That's all they have to do, huh. Wait for Google to stumble. "MS has an indefinite stre

It warms my heart to see a thriving groupthink osmotically reproduce and grow.

I never said they didn't execute. Nice strawman though.

You disagree with my statements now you're my own personal stalker? Resorting to some kind of mob mentality group think to rally support when rhetorical skills fail you is...weak. I can't help but notice that at least at this moment this

"You asserted that black people are of lower intelligence than other groups" I didn't "assert" anything. I pointed out that statistically speaking blacks are intellectually inferior. Sans statistics, yes, that would be an assertion but th

"Of course, you could just flame him as others are doing. Might be better to just downvote and ignore (as many are as well)." Yep, in the absence of actual argument just marginalize. I'm sure you feel much better now.

"Nah, I just think you're a douchebag and felt like being snarky." I see you're an arrogant prick in addition to the mental midgetry. Don't forget to keep those defenses up in the future. Don't argue intelligently. Seek to marginalize yo

I don't care if Apple directly aped the LG Prada or not but do not come in here thinking you can fool people into believing that Apple just innovated the modern smartphone out of thin air. It didn't happen. The fact that similar looking p

"One photo is not a demo." So, now we are just degenerating to ye olde "No True Scotsman" defense. Face it, dude. Apple imitated and you fell for it. You've been told now crawl away with some dignity.

So you think the LG Prada was designed and produced in a weekend?

by tysonjennings 14y ago
Why lie, man? Just to "prove" some point? The iPhone was first demoed by Steve Jobs in January of 2007, the LG Prada was demoed in December of 2006.

So your argument is that Samsung is imitating an imitator. Excuse me while I don't care.

"New studies are increasingly showing that it is much, much, more influenced by environment." Let me translate: we have a socially responsible conclusion now let's design a study that produces it. "This isn't reddit, so nobody can downvote
