Yes but when it comes to the Galaxy S2 how can you blame the hardware when you state that its misbehaving apps? In this particular case if it was the app trying to do stuff it isn't supposed to do or just being coded by a complete amateur just so they could make a fart app then why blame the phone?
While I tend to agree with you on the WinMo issues from HTC when I had the TyTN which pissed me off to no end and even more so when the antenna detached itself internally (granted that was kinda my fault when the cord for it got caught on my chair) the TyTN 2 aka the Tilt was and awesome phone. It felt solid as a brick and was much more responsive than the old one. Every phone will have its strengths and weaknesses its more of a matter of how it affects people.
Hell I've even seen a jesusPhone act up like this as the SO had the 3G and it was horrible when it came to how it acted. When it worked right it was decent but it just felt slow. Seemed like it took forever compared to my phone at the time even compared to the TyTN 2. Just my opinion here.
you get what you pay for unfortunately when it comes to smartphones. If you go cheap don't expect it to be the be all end all of performance. If you want performance than you should look into the phones with the hardware to do what you want. This should be a no brainer. Its the same as if you want a gaming computer but then go out and buy an eMachine from Wally World expecting it to run any game out there with the highest settings. Not gonna happen.
That is all.
How the hell did HP get so high up? Don't forget this is a company which prides itself for shipping a single piece of paper with the license on it inside of boxes inside of boxes, repeat, which are finally packed securely inside of one of those containers they use to transport radioactive waste.
Idiots...
While I may sound like a twat for this one.....
After reading the story you mention in your post I actually called Ubisoft and kept asking to be escalated as high as I could go (assuming they didnt bullshit me on this one) and ended up at some high up managers phone taking to him and expressed the fact that I (and many other gamers) dont appreciate being referred to as pirates or even that being insinuated, also mentioned the fact that this alone may make me say fuck Ubisoft and instead of actually buying their DRMed to shit games I may start pirating them instead because of comments like these. His response was a weak "Were sorry you feel that way but we do still value those who buy our games".
Fuck Ubisoft at this rate they are just going to make me start pirating their games if they have any I actually want to play. AC2 pissed me off especially when their servers would go down for no fucking reason while I was in game and I was faced with the choice of leaving the game frozen on the screen while waiting for them to come back up or close it and lose progress. Twats.
"We were already so far ahead of the competition, this just ... I can't see even them in the rearview mirror."
While they may be far ahead at this time how many times in history has the underdog risen up to bite its master? Especially now with Apple losing several of its patents. Should be interesting to watch in the near future.
And this is exactly how Fallout 1 started :P
On a side though I do believe that the USPTO should hire monkeys to check the patents for validity instead of those that they did hire. Surely they would do a better and more through job. Hell they could even throw feces at the ones which they deem invalid and atleast we could make sense out of WHY they are.
Finally the tides start to shit against crApple. I wonder what this will do to their stocks?
Yeeeeesssss....no.
Remember Apple is working to have the Galaxy Nexus banned for sale in the US due to design patents in a judgement handed down by a jury which didn't know the first damn thing about this type of stuff.
Have a feeling it will be more like this:
Oh you don't like the fact that iOS is locked down or that you cant do what you want with the hardware? Go get a Galaxy Nexus...Oh wait YOU CANT!!
As for the browser issue I'm in the same boat as others on here with the belief that Apple will be hit with monopoly lawsuits. Yes they may only have ~20% but in the grand scheme of things these lawsuits have happened for stuff similar to this in the past with companies who don't have the "largest share" of a market based on penetration but those who did have the largest share due to other factors. It will happen the only question is when...
Bore
Verb:
1.Make (a hole) in something, esp. with a revolving tool: "they bored holes in the sides"; "the drill can bore through rock".
2.Make (someone) feel weary and uninterested by tedious talk or dullness: "he'll bore you with all the details".
In this case I do believe he used the right spelling. Your starting to look like an ass with your hiding behind the mask and insults that make your out to not know language. You should take a minute and read number 2.
Nah its the jesusPhone they copied since there arnt any 7" iPads. Plus if you look really close at the text the cheeky bastards even went to the length of copying the font.
On a side note didnt Toshiba used to make 3.5" drives in the past? Either my memory is faulty (likely) and I'm cunfusing their 2.5" drives with those or I remember right (unlikely)....
"The mother doesn’t believe that a love of all things Apple motivated her son to seek out a kidney surgeon on the black market, however."
Say what? Doesn't believe? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhkaaaaayyy....*
Have to say I smell something that typically comes from bulls in smelly brown loads. This kid is an idiot and deserves (yes I said DESERVES) everything that comes of this. How is it this kids mother didnt notice something sooner? Unless I am wrong, I'm not in this case as my mom lost a kidney due to cancer, the surgery takes a weee bit of time to heal.
First of all the cash he was given is well below market share, he should have gone for more.
Second he buys a jesusPhone and a fondlePad with said cash, he really should have waited and spent the case on an EDUCATION. That way he would have probaby had a slight inkling that he was about to do something retarded.
Third it was Apple hardware. The least he could have done was making sure the hardware was under lockdown as Apple does with theirs.
While this may sound like I have no sympathy for this idiot, that is because I don't have any. People donating an organ or something for a cause (like cancer or the such) thumbs up, those who do it for this paltry sum of money to waste on the jesusPhone and fondlePad just equals FAIL!!
*Before you think I'm blaming Apple for this, you need to read the post. At no time did I accuse Apple of causing this except for making devices which tend to take people for a ride. (/flameon)
As much as I hate M$ (granted I hate crApple more) I will give them this....
They have a reason to be paid for their work. They deserve to be paid for their work regardless how shitty it may be. I may pirate something be it music or a game or whatever but I will PURCHASE it if I like it. I would rather not spend my dosh on something I am going to regret if I can avoid it. Read of that what you will...
Black helis since im pretty sure he RIA/MPAAss are probably looking for me now.
If I dont post here again Ill miss you guys and tell my mom I love her.
The last few days I have been bored and reading some of my first posts on El Reg and for the life of me even I cant figure some of them out anymore. Either I have found one of two things:
A) The alcohol and the pain killers are finally getting to me (hope that aint so)
OR
B) Im finally starting to get wiser....
Anyone else out there noticed anything similar with their older posts? I hate getting old.
Just want to point something out here honkj...
If your going to spam a comment thread with your version of events, which in this case are...well...frankly they scare me about your sanity. Anyway if your going to spam the thread and you post one as anonymous, you should probably not reply to your own post without hiding yourself behind the mask again. Just saying.
I just had to register theregister@outlook.com. Time to find that leaked list of email addresses from last year and start sending everyone "official" letters for the release of funds....
I know im a shit.
And yes I really do have the email :P little surprised that no one else here on ElReg thought of that....let alone the staff.
That this will ultimately cause Apple to back off a bit on the bullshit. But I also dont believe it will do that. Only time will tell sadly and hopefully the patent offices around the world (not singling out the USPTO here) will get their collective heads out of their asses and stop awarding design patents. Doubt that will happen either though.
@Chris 19
Umm, have you bothered to look into what your stating? Apple HAS been offered FRAND licensing by those same companies you are so quick to blame. And Apple REFUSED the terms. It was only after that fact when said companies asked for a percentage. In the case of patents Apple is the one at fault here. Round corners? Scroll bars disappearing? They get these patents why exactly? Answer the patent system is FUBAR
Being a 'merkin this pisses me off as well. Yet another reason for the international community to hate us. As if we werent doing enough already to do this, we have to go and add another.
This is another instance where the well off (cable, cell and other providers) are able to sit back and say "Poor us, how will the CEo feed his children that <INSERT MEAL HERE> and keep his 4-5 homes with a Bugatti at each paid up?"
I dont give a shit anymore. The government we have over here is so damn corrupt and inept at what they do that they should all be given a box and a boot out the door. Big business needs these tax breaks or else they cant afford anything. Afford what? To pay a decent wage, stop sending jobs overseas (not that I dont think they dont need the jobs as well) and to give us a quality product as opposed to some of the shit that comes out of the factories over here. If this was done it would be a huge boon for the government in new income.
Im going to bring back an old plea of mine for you brits who read this. Disgruntled American looking for sponsorship away from the USA. That is all.
Normally I wouldnt bother posting to something this far out but I'll humor you.
While it may be true that capacities have stagnated I highly doubt its because they are...how did you put it? Oh right, hiding the truth and yadatinfoil hatyada
As far as sales go I dont believe that will be a problem really. Trouble with this market is that it has its ups and downs just like any other industry. That is not to say that they arnt always trying to get higher sales and with it higher revenues.
As far as 4Tb (see what I did there?) drives, it helps if you get the term right. Anyway if the normal person (and by normal people whos job is NOT photographer, video editor, system admin or BOFH needing a place to stash some porn) should have zero need for that much. Hell my parents along with my youngest sister dont even use up half of the old 500Gb drive I gave them a while back. And this is with people who seem to not understand that you copy something to the drive once....not 10 times because you didnt like where the system put it the first time. But I digress.
And even with all those other little things I pointed out you then want faster sequential r/w times to improve? Not asking for much there are you? There is only so fast that a drive can read data, and its main limiting factor is rotational speed. This is fairly simple to test but I wont bore you with logic since it seems you have none.
Anyway have fun trolling the threads like usual. I only wish this was an Apple article though. At least then I could be sure that you were Webster Phreaky in disguise.
Some sort of computer virus caused this? I smell bullshit from someone who needed something to blame besides their own incompetence. My guess is they probably had the display to set based off the computer clock and the clock was set wrong instead of using a good old fashioned timer. And even if they were using a timer script they probably dropped a couple 00's.
While I like the shooting in the foot concept I vote we put them both in a room with half a brick. Last one standing is declared winner. Granted this could go against Samsung and Apple could win this but I dont see how. They would be too busy drooling over the upcoming shiney shineys all while posting pics of their raging "clues" to Instagram which would make them easy targets.
I know I'm an ass :)
Are we saying that? No I don't believe we are saying getting updates is bad. What is bad about it is that w get our updates given to us slowly to be sure, but with CLEAR outlines on what will do what when we get it without being told the new shiny PhoneOS is going to work on all devices (that are current) with little information on what features are going to be for the latest and greatest JesusPhone to date.
I also wouldn't call my phone shit when it comes to the hardware. Rather like it personally since the EVO 3D is a nice phone in and of itself even when I never use the 3D feature. Got it for the hardware.
In response to your comment about updates I will treat these as two distinct questions.
So the platform is the Galaxy update? Ill assume you meant the phone being updated which in this case I can say this: Beats the hell out of me how it is.
And in reference to your comment about version numbers, yep, you got us there. I guess if that's what it takes to make yourself feel justified in slamming people so that you feel high and mighty, so be it. Twat.
How is it that this is a patent? wouldnt this be trumped by anything in the past with a "Fast Forward" option on it? Granted I am not totally sure what "Time Shifting" is but it certainly sounds like FF. Anyone want to clue me in on how exactly this might not be the case?
Lets see here:
Windows 95 sucked
Windows 98 was decent
Windows ME sucked
Windows XP good
Windows Vista was the second coming of ME
Windows 7 good
Windows 8 I predict will suck worse than the other failures combined.
And yes I know that there is more than good or bad with each of those OS but this list was to be general at best.
Thumbs down for Microsoft on this one. They need to find something that people don't want to kill then for and nurture it instead of piss off their customer base. As a pc gamer the choice for me is ovbious but the time is going to come where an alternative is as good or better. Mark my words.
Ok so your saying little men appear to like big cars? And you can judge my size by my post? I wouldnt say I'm little I just chose Androids platform over Apple for several different reasons, the top two of which are I am not fond of being one of the cool people based off what device (or clothes I wear, car I drive, movies I like etc etc) I am using and two I have an intense hatred for how closed Apple is.
So I'm a prat because I prefer a phone that actually fits my hand nicely and doesnt feel too small? Me thinks someone believes their shit doesn't stink either.
BTW you show me a (mobile)phone with the dimensions of an A4 piece of paper (8.3 × 11.7 in) and I will retract that last comment But I digress as that won't happen for a looong time if at all.
How does St. Jobs vision hold true? If it was really evolution why didn't it evolve a couple years ago? Not to mention this is the same person who also said that a smaller screen would make users have to file their fingers down to use it. Sorry but I just dont see how his "vision" can be all that great if Apple are only now getting around to it. I've been rather happy with my EVO for a while now.
Intels 1.13ghz fiasco. How long until we find out that this wireless speed is only possible in ideal conditions with very specific hardware and firmware versions? And before you remind me that its only Buffalo kit that can reach this speed remember it was only Intel kit that could reach that speed "reliably".
