chuck norris looked at this analogy…and it just stared back. EDIT: there are a lot of interesting people on HN, but there are a lot of humorless people too. enjoy your spectrum disorder.

one thing that the press doesn't understand (but apple does, especially with its CEO being one of the best operations guys) is that ramping up production takes time. using the same design helps meet the demand for the iphone 4S—they've been

«Even for ISPs running their own network, such as BT, Davies claims the figures of €0.01-0.03 per GB are "rubbish". "It's an order of magnitude greater than that," he claimed.» awesome, so it only costs about a quarter for a gigabyte. so i

the SDK was planned from the beginning, not the result of developer outcry—though it certainly didn't hurt. apple had to make sure that the APIs were solid before releasing them to everyone. that takes time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

this argument, seriously? have you ever seen flash run well on ARM? are you really comparing casual flash games that you have to pay for to casual obj-C sold through the appstore, a store that basically pays for itself and doesn't make much

you are conflating many different people into one. so here's me: i like apple products. i like HTC's variations on a theme. i was disappointed by the 4S because i like new things, even if only on the outside. (though the 4S has an S on it,

i have had many apple products over the years and only bought one of them new. apple products are in my experience built to work until they break and the cost of fixing them is more than a replacement. this happens much sooner in tech than

as a perfectionist, i can safely say that it is not based on logic. the rational mind cowers to the emotions behind perfectionism, and then explains it as if it were its idea. a logical person would know when to stop, when the law of dimini
