  • Apple Fails. Android phones rule now! Google FTW

  • I love all the haters. They think they know it all... "my windows POS could already do everything the iPhone can 10 years ago!" while the iPhone slowly takes over the world. The haters have no vision. Just because you are content with crap doesn't mean everyone has to be :D

  • top what? what's inovative about the iphone? - nothing you havn't been able to do on an HTC running windows mobile

  • First off Read up who Steve Balmer is if you don't know.

    But he as always been with Microsoft, he has been Bill Gates Right hand man. They went to school together back in the day I believe.

  • Fuck it indeed, Apple is the new gay

  • lol "learn how to talk" I concur.

  • BECAUSE OF THE SHITTY BATTERY LIFE!

    Look the wirelessinfo. c o m review of the iphone. HAHA you are so stupid.

  • Yeah, battery life is important to those who browse the internet, play mp3s, and send email while taking a shit for 20 hours.

    Go suck on Gate's cock like all you wimPC cheerleaders allways do.

  • 3 hours surfing in the internet. A long time ...

  • Dude, I just found your brain... you left it at my place the other day ... learn how to talk

  • Wrong. Steve Jobs is in it for money, just like everyone else. The winner is the one w/ the most money.

  • that's true. i think any competition between iPhone & Mobile 5&6 phones is unfound. i'm getting an iPhone this friday when they come out, but that doesn't mean i'm getting rid of my samsung for work. iPhone is good for entertainment and my samsung is good for work. it just boils down to the difference of what you want and what you need.

  • Vista < MacOS

  • well said. btw thats a huge jacket im guessing u live somewhere cold... very cold

  • do you get a jacket like that with a iPhone? i bet its comfortable

  • This guy is right. Ballmer is drived by PURE competition and jealousy. Vista is a complete ripoff of the newest Mac OSX and Ballmer should suck ass.

  • I think that what you are saying is that to be a leader, you need inspiration and motivation to produce the best product regardless of what other people are doing. Right on!

  • yes indeed...in a nutshell

  • Competition is what drives our economy. Without it there is no incentive for companies to make better products, and lower prices, which makes things very bad for the consumer.

  • competition is all well and good and upto a certain extent healthy too. However if thats ALL that drives you, you will find your self lacking in charismatic and great ideas. As an artist i have often felt my best ideas are sometimes received from my competitor and i have felt inspired to add to it and make it better. Its NOT to bad mouth or push my competitor out of business. The market itself can do that. Excessive competitive tension often drives out the best and juiciest ideas.

  • ur rite, Microsoft would be so much more damn successful if they didn't copy other innovative ideas (from apple especially)...

    i know how pissed i used to get wen kids copied off my test in 3rd grade. its the same thing

  • Utter bullshit with no basis in business or competitive markets.

  • Exactly; however if you have no original ideas yourself, and you would still want tobe in business, would have to compete and chase someone else out of his teritorry now would you. The fun part being; the more Microsoft tries, the more illusive and original Apple becomes. And they are the ones enjoying the ride.

  • lol you believe business people words. nice.

  • Wow, I hope Jobs and Ballmer watched this, I'm sure they could learn a thing or two..

  • Ever heard of a smart phone? Those have been out years before the iPhone. So in a sense, this would be Apple stepping into Microsoft's market, in much the same way Microsoft did with the Zune.

  • this would be Apple TAKING OVER Microsoft's market.

  • Hmm, well I work with Apple products, and you know something? The Iphone has a 1.8 inch HD for memory, guess what happens when you drop it? Oh did I mention, the screen is glass...Sounds good huh?

  • where did you get your facts from? It has flash memory so guess what that means. and its not glass its cubic zirconia which is the hardest thing besides a diamond so piss off and find better reasons to hate.

  • very well said, you completely right on that.

  • You guys are Jack Asses!!! Tell me one recent Successful Product from Microsoft???

    MSFT is going no where just like you all. Mind as well donate that money MSFT because you don't have the talent or the know how to know what to do with it anyways...

  • Yeah retard. Balmer was responding to a question along the lines of "how can you compete"?

  • with out competition company's have the right to never upgrade their products, seeing as they are the only one's and set the pace. Now with competition (unless your biased torward's a company) allows you to pick and choose which product either suits them best or has the best features. This allows the technology market to have new products and research and development constantly, Because they want you to buy their products. Not only cause of the brand but because its better than anything out.

  • clearly you'll never lead a corporation/business

  • steve jobes? heheh

    yeah, you look like the one button type of guy.

  • reallylovebacon looks like the Start button type of guy.

    Wal-Mart OS for a Wal-Mart PC.

  • Why does he feel like he has to compete?

    Capitalism

  • Dood, Balmer was asked a DIRECT question about MS's position VS Apple. He was stating the FACTS. Have you not seen the never ending Apple Mac VS "PC" (aka Windows) commercials? That kind of below the belt marketing is Apple's bag, not Microsoft's. I seriously can't believe you just said this.

  • Reasons to not buy iPhone:

    #1.Locked to expensive Cingular provider

    #2.Expensive (5x that of a win. mob. Moto Q. 2x+ that of Palm Treo)

    #3.Non-expandable memory

    #4."virtual" keyboard only

  • #5.2MP (only!) camera (yes most "smartphones" are no better but this is a $500-$600 device)

    #6."Closed" propietary system

    #7.Same access/copyright protection schemes Apple ALWAYS imposes

    #8.Same MP4 video instead of standard DIVX/XVID

    #9.Does NOT run MS Office or equiv.

    #10. No video conferencing. Even new cell phones offer this now (with a BETTER cam).

  • #11. No VOIP support (goodbye skyype)

    #12.iPhone does NOT support instant messaging (ala AIM and MSN Messnger). What a friggin' joke!!! The more I read the more laughable this thing becomes.

    #13. NO G3!!! G3 is a new data transfer paradigm that provides way more bandwidth than old cellular technologies while also providing virtually limitless ROAMING access. WIFI is much faster than G3, but requies a WIFI access point.

  • Don't forget.

    The battery is sealed, ala iPod. If it dies to the point where you can't recharge it, good luck trying to replace it.

    And phones on the Vodafone network, particularly in Japan, have already done many things that Apple is touting with the iPhone. The interface on the iPhone may be better, but that's not the point: the iPhone is not technologically innovative.

    I think they were lucky with the iPod and ought to stick with making good computers.

  • iPhone does supporty IM, go look at the WWDC introduction again and stop shouting bullshit

  • ... Microsoft are the winners... always.

    There goes that theory.

  • Depends on what way you look at it, good at business, maybe, good at buying innovations or pirating them yes very good, making good products, ah they fall over at that

  • hmmmm... you obviously no nothing about Microsoft.

    And since when is copying exclusive of quality?

    They have the money, and therefore have the means of producing QUALITY products... people forget they produce a lot more than just an OS.

  • Thanks for the insight... Never quite looked at it from that perspective before.

  • Um.. "Ballmer, whoever he is?" Really? If you don't even know who Steve Ballmer is why are you posting this. Also, I agree with RespectablyFrench, we need competition, without it we would advance at a snail's pace.

    As far as the iPhone is concerned -- I feel it will be somewhat similar to Communism in that it works on paper and is a brilliant idea, but when you try to put it into action it just doesn't work.

  • You make alot of Good Points about what your saying, but what I feel you fail to realize is that stiff competition can drive a business "Out of Business" so regardless of What Steve jobs says Every Company "COMPETES" on one level or another to Survive and to Keep their Investors.

  • totally, bro. good vid

  • Nice!!!!

    PS iphone ROCKS!!!

  • Someone should take an economics course. Competition drives innovation.

  • agreed

  • You seem to be saying that money can't be a motivating factor for great things, which seems naive or puritanical to me. Apple may seem to put making great products over gaining market share, but why do you think they charge so much for those products? Because they can. Jobs has basically acknowledged the primary motivation for the iPhone was to stay dominant in portable music players. All inspiration flowed from that.

  • This is true. what other thing where they going to make that's hand held I mean where do you go when you go from Ipod to video Ipod to Iphone? it all sounds like a game of jenga with our money and I don't like to lose.

  • "God-given inspiration"? Give me a break. Apple and Microsoft are both in business to make money. Get over it.

  • i dont think it was the primary thrust....or the initial spark that lit the fire....money is definetely part of the equation dont get me wrong but the original idea was inspired as all great inventions always are

  • Why do mac users think THEY are innovators?

    First off they USE, they dont innovate.

    Apple does a very good job os making macusers feel as they has a HUGE part in the products created.

    Thus if you criticize an Apple product you directly assault the Macuser.

    As for PC users, we know we are users, we constantly complain for more. We dont associate, we simply go after things that work and leave things that dont.

    PC users dont make excuses for lack of utility that Macusers seem to be zealots for.

  • iPhone lacks:

    1000s of 3rd party addins

    Replaceable battery

    Additional memory addins

    No syncing with MS Exchange servers making it no use to business users.

    You will need to BUY additional ringtones and not play any WAV file you want. - READ UP ON IT

    Lacks ability to play additional formats such as DivX

    Will NEVER have a P2P program for it.

    Touchpad keyboards WERE TRIED and tactile keyboards came back because of demand. ipod will never be a 1 handed txt device yet alone 2.

    Play web radio.

  • pretty detailed information for a guy that never touched it. I mean, let's wait and see.

  • No pretty basic information from what Steve Jobs reviewed, what apple offers, and only a bit of research on the ringtone bit.

    Kinda important stuff that's missing, if only mac followers would ask for more rather then accept whats given.

    I just want them to ask these questions before claiming its the best thing ever. The one market that Apple succeeds at are the people that want an ipod and phone in 1 but that's gonna cost them.

  • As is Apple can't re-release another iPhone with all of that. You fail to realize that when the iPhone catches on there will be 3rd party addons, replaceable batteries, additional memory addons, web radio, etc.

  • Um NO there WILL NOT!

    Steve flatly said he will not open the phone to 3rd party app. makers.

    THE IPHONE HAS NO SWAPABLE BATTERY PERIOD!

    THE IPHONE HAS NO MEMORY MODULE SLOTS PERIOD!

    ETC!

    GEESH man think before you come back with a response like that!

    They would have to BUILD/REDESIGN A NEW IPHONE, THUS IM CRITICIZING THIS ONE !!!

  • I dont get it.. you are clearly inside a building... How come you are wearing a jacked, a cap and stuff?

  • because i live in a cold homeless shelter...lol...jus kidding...i had just walked in from the freezing cold ouitside and spotaneously did this video response

  • Nice to see some quality videos finally. Check out my vids sometime if you like clips like this.  Usually I'm posting at videos.lostfrog 'dot' com.

  • "if not, fuck it." Beautifully said.

  • you said Steve's last name incorectly. Apple took your point of view at the start, thats how they got crushed by microsoft the first time.

  • "I don't feel why he needs to compete"... Gee, there's apple's competitor in our economy...

  • u all need to get lives... swearing at each other over products, wow. i could only understand this if all of u worked for the companies. TOOLS!

  • Well said

  • u r a fag

  • well said

  • 4 out of 5 confused Eskimos agree

  • fuck apple fuck mac fuck p diddy, and fuck mac.

  • Such rational and concise assessment. It just ...brings joy to my life knowing people like blackeneseboy are out there to help bring valid and needed perspective in any topic here on YouTube.

  • and fuck you to.

  • What a rapidly expanding vocabulary! Do you eat with bare hands or has the concept of using utensils come within reach? To your credit, your vocabulary has amassed to a whole 7 words! 7 out of 13. I see, its like a baby learning its first words, repeating the same ones with gestures to attempt meaning. I will translate: When blackeneseboy says F*ck, it means he has soiled his pants again. When he uses this with Apple, it means the Apple sauce he ingested is now in his pants ripening.

  • Motherfuck dre, motherfuck snoop, motherfuck drexus9! Yeah here comes my left blow!

    Ps. fuck your mom.

  • Totally bang on!

  • You don't know who Ballmer is? you should really keep your opinion to yourself. And like someone else said... TAKE business course then maybe you will understand it.

    Apple will never have anything on MS...

  • Heh the Zune is a prime example....

  • interesting perspective. i hope you post more videos :) your insights are very engaging.

  • thanks so much bizzy!!

  • haha.. i like you. you are fuuny.

  • I take it you have never taken a business course.

  • and thats precisely my point...businesses that continue on the old model..you know the kind you learn in harvard business school...will in the years ahead crumble...because they are built on scarcity and fear based models, which perhaps served in the last century...but in the century now dawning upon us...it is the people who discipline themselves to answer the vision in their hearts will be financially far more successful. Look at the cover of fortune magazine...google and utube #1 companies

  • fuck microsoft!

  • Steve Joubs

  • exactamondo. This man hit the nail on the head. If they really feel they can do a good job at a phone fair play, if they dont well thats ok. But honestly id say it will be really good user friendly wise. I have never used an ipod or a mac but i get the feeling it will be good, iv had lots of phones over the years and to my knowledge nokia will be hard to top they are so user friendly

  • good stuff

  • Apple: Artisans which love their work.

    Microsoft: Salesmen who sell whatever the f*** they can push down your throat.

  • You are fucking right!!!

  • Amen brother

  • norcal999, I agree with you. being a MS developer thats exactlt how I feel.

  • amen bro

  • Ballmer is that same "developers/developers/develop­ers" idiot who runs around like a football player hopped up on 'roids. I agree about the "putting out a quality product". However, you can always have a good idea and have it shouted down by the competition. I mean, how long has Mac struggled with this over MS? Only now does it seem like the sheep are finally waking up and realizing "hey, I do have a choice, and it comes from the same guys who make my iPod!"

  • well...i've got a business and for those hammering MS, go out and do better yourself. it isn't easy. and for punchpixie..computers going bye bye? lol. right, i guess that's why i have 10 crews installing "smart homes" all ran by computers. dude...you haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg on computers.

  • "You haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg on computers."

    That actually sounds kind of scary but it's true. Computers have not been around a very long time, meaning there is still many things in the future ahead for computers. Leopard and Vista won't even be acknowledged in the near future, and computers are "Growing up" even faster than before.

  • Exactly what I thinking

  • I think you make a good point, and its funny to watch Ballmer almost scramble with stats to show how much better Microsoft is doing compared to Apple (specifically that Apple is currently selling ZERO phones). I agree business need to focus more on themselves than their competition, but if you competition is smoking you out of the water, its hard not to pay attention and fight for some of that market because success is measured, sadly, in one and only one way: money.

  • I dont have anything against apple, macs ipods, windows or any of that. As a consumer I just want to buy a product that suits my needs. But in order to look forward to a better product, I depend on companies to compete for my attention and my dollars, I wouldnt want them to get lazy and just put out ho hum products which I dont want to, but might be forced to buy.

  • your my hero!
