After posting this comment, I got a stern email from mister Paul Graham. You read that right. The cult of Apple is so strong here, that the site owner emails you when you talk against the brain-washed mantra: Apple is God. Granted, I had

Steve Jobs touched people lives in a way no other can, sometimes at a very personal level Can we please stop the Steve Jobs and Apple suck-up here on HN please? This is getting as embarrassing to read as it is getting sickening. I realize

I see you are trying to draw attention away from the fact that Apple has on repeated occations shown to be dishonest, disengenious and outright misrepresenting competitors by presenting information in ways they knew to be wrong. I see you d

Rsync in cygwin also (severely) messes up your files' and folders' NTFS-permissions when synching against a linux-host, which can lead to things like the meltdown of a complete IIS website/webserver setup since the IIS worker process can no

From the comments here, it seems that I will still need TeraCopy when Windows 8 comes around. That's a bit of a bummer, but I can live with that. Seriously though. TeraCopy does just the right thing and is one of those "must have" Windows a

Cue iOS. Which was a nice experiment which proved that it didn't work. You know what you can't do on iOS which most users want to be able to do? Yeah. Work with the same document from multiple viewpoints, or applications. You can't work w

Even if you discounted MeeGo as a no-go (no pun intended) as I did before playing with the N9, Android would make more sense Just to clarify: I never claimed that doing Windows Phone 7 was the better option over than doing Android. I clai

It doesn't really support webkit either. It also rejects my Android cellphone's browser, which is 100% webkit-based.

Don't you think it's a bit suspicious a recently hired CEO who was until recently a high profile Microsoft employee discontinues a major platform investment on the eve of launching a competitive product (I have played with the N9 and it's

Nokia is going Windows-only in America because that's the only way they can get the carriers to go along So basically Nokia is only playing by the rules of the market, and the real problem is US carriers abusing their position. The real p

In some countries many people have SIM-only contracts and buy their own unlocked phones from a third party. I would argue this is the norm in most of Europe, not just "some countries". Only where the telcom business have gone completely u

If you are going to predict any major actor right now of aggressively and offensively suing people into oblivion, Apple would be the obvious target of that accusation and not Microsoft. Microsoft has enough business vested all over the pl

When you buy an Apple-product, no matter how shiny and polished it seems right there and then, you support this shit. Your newly acquired, polished Apple-product just made your hands dirty.

Are you seriously suggesting everyone else in the market should be banned from making tablets because Apple was the first one to make one which is publically recognized? You may not have said so explicitly, but it is hanging out there, on

Ah well. No idea about Mac. Might be different there for all I know, but the Windows-version has been like that since FF 4, at least when the window is maximized. When not maximized it sort-of looks like in the linked screenshot. Running

IMO it works really well and is one of the things which sets Android apart from iOS and other OSes in general. One of the finer points which I really appreciate is how intents can be fine-tuned not only to handle "a image" or "a mp3" or act

I hear this claim quite often, but I have yet to see it documented. I'm not saying you are wrong , just asking if you have some link to a study supporting this argument or anything similar.

Folk are focusing on the two changes that make this more like chrome (tabs in title bar, and apparent removal of search bar.) This has been in FF since version 4. These mockups are for FF 8.

Interesting way to finish it off: Now’s the time. Someone needs to start the ball rolling and just say no. So really just about anyone but author, then?

searched the Marketplace, but the Android stock keyboard isn't on there. It's called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" and it's being compiled and delivered by someone else than Google. Works fine though and lets you download dictionaries as yo

And just think, all these android users would have to get iTunes accounts. I don't think you will find a international standards-body which will standardize anything which requires an iTunes account. I may be wrong, but I sure as hell hop

It just changed the whole industry and showed How It's Done. I may not like your tone, but if nothing else you are correct about this point. Apple was clearly the company who made everyone else understand that delivering a good smartphone

There we go again. Market share. Author did not even bother to consider, at whose expense Samsung and HTC are gaining said share. Apple did grow too. Fair point, but Apple's growth is clearly in a decline compared to earlier years. And on

Just replying to say how you are confirming my point either you intend to or not: What people think about different things differ, and there is no "universal" consensus about most things. Like there is no universal consensus on the iPhone b

To be fair, they look like any other smartphone which is black and has a touchscreen. Apple cannot be granted a patent on being black. Not even black with rounded corners. That's not how the world works. And if we dig deeper, behind the PR-

I work in software development. Almost everyone in my department has Android-phones bar a few self-confessed iAddicts (and one daring Windows phone 7 beta-tester). Despite its huge commercial success, the iPhone is among my peers considered

Samsung makes eerily close copies of the iPhone As a former iPhone-owner gone (Samsung) Android I resent that comment. iOS is a one-dimensional, inflexible and locked down platform which bored the hell out of me and this was the primary r

Besides copying your contacts from gmail, this should do everything you require. The problem is that you don't want a copy, you want a maintained copy . You want your data synchronized. Outlook does this very neatly with Exchange, which
