Re: I wish ...

"Apple has pushed all the boundaries only to be followed by Samsung"

You really believe this?

Seriously, you REALLY believe this?

Jees, Apple couldn't even get a mobile phone antenna to work until they reverse engineered someone else's phone.

Apple have great OSs and GUIs, but tech innovators? Please...stop it.... I can't laugh any longer.

I wonder what would happen if all of the Samsung and Apple phones/tablets around the world suddenly lost all of the components made by the other company.

I'm betting Samsung would fare far better.

Sick of this s***

Apple; An irritating little terrier in the grounds of a small house, yapping at the heals of anyone it thinks is on it's territory.

Re: all self inflicted wounds yet blame other factors

".... DEC (couldn't compete against PC x86 clones)"

Wrong.

DEC's fate was sealed when they settled with Intel over real (not "your buttons look like my buttons") technology patent infringements of the Alpha architecture in 1997. They should have forced the withdrawal of all Pentiums. If they had we would have been using 64bit architectures a decade earlier instead of following Intel's max profit roadmap.

As for printing....

Tried shoving my phone into an e-ticket barcode scanner at a football match yesterday...didn't work.

Facepalm

Re: OOh lets dangle the maps

“dangle the maps”

This is a pretty low hanging fruit that Apple can't produce.

Don't blame Nokia or MS for withdrawing an App that your chosen provider can't provide.

You made your choice, you paid your money, so go bitch to Apple.

You're more likely to get a job if you study 'social' sciences, say fuzzy-studies profs

What If?

If putting a man on the moon had been left to Social Scientists they would have spent 5 years discussing how the moon would feel about having it's personal space invaded, built the vehicle out of ethically sourced bamboo, and then, when the astronauts all died, they'd sit around wringing their hands moaning ”Oh, lessons will be learned”.

I don't know which is worse; Universities churning out so many of these people, or businesses thinking that they are worth employing.
