@Trister619 are you saying the ipad is a failure? ht tp://ww w. wired. com/gadgetlab/2010/06/apples-ipad-sales-accelerate-three-million-sold-in-80-days/
How the fuck is that an "exactly" you ignorant twat? You questioned him and said "Are you saying the iPad is a failure?". He was quite clearly saying the opposite of that, you inept piece of shit.
for 10 years pc manu have been trying to release a tablet pc.. Even embedded WindowsCE and it has all failed.. PC users expected the ipad to fail because of its tablet design.. Apple proved pc users wrong with there with there selling numbers. Ipad won big and now pc makers are scrambling to try to sling shot there pc tables off of apple ipad success.. Don't know how you took it as ipad was a failure ? ?
I love Apple and their products, but I would love to see a company really show them up. Competition only brings better and innovate products to the market.
@manjyoumethunder actually what i meant was how the iphone has such strong sales along with great reviews when compared to all others. not true of windows
Umm, the iPhone tends to have ratings around the same as high-end Android phones on CNET, just as Windows 7 and Slow Leper have the same rating. Actually, Windows 7 has a slightly better rating.
Umm, you never said "Streak", now did you, you dumb shit? You said "compared to ALL others", actually, which COMPLETELY contradicts that "Streak" bullshit you just tried to pull. Nice fucking try.
@manjyoumethunder i merely alluded that the iphone gets better sales and reviews than the streak and on TOP OF THAT it does the same against all others. but you are right, i should have kept it to just the streak and the iphone, so let's just concentrate on apple vs dell comparisons, since that's what this video is all about. agreed?
In any case, the point of my original post wasn't JUST about the Streak, but the myriad of yet unreleased Dell phones with exciting new form factors and options above the normal "slate-like touchscreen device", such as the Lightning with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard (landscape) making it much like a Palm Pre, only more refined.
Dell's still "innovating", they do more than computers. Not everything can be out the door as soon as it's thunk up, though.
First of all, my response was to a direct quote from the host of the posted video completely unrelated to Apple, in which he said Dell was simply no longer "innovating". If he had been paying attention to recent technology news, he would realize that was not the case.
Furthermore, what's Apple going to give us in the next 3 years. The iWall, a 47" 1080p iPod Touch? Sorry, I mean iPad. Wait, same difference.
@manjyoumethunder wow, great question that is supposed to answer MY question? did you watch the video about how apple stock has risen on the strength of its innovative products while dell's has fallen dramatically for lack of the same?
Stop avoiding the question with a scarecrow argument. I asked you what is Apple offering that is innovative. Apple's stock price rising is not "innovation", it's sales. You don't have to be "innovative" to sell a fucking product.
Tell me what Apple is offering and developing openly that is more innovative than Dell's new lineup of phones. How is the iPhone more innovative, after 4 iterations of the same thing?
@manjyoumethunder the streak has a bigger screen but worse clarity than the iphone. it has issues with media, the iphone doesnt. tell me what innovations the streak has.
The point of the Streak is to be able to watching media without having to hold it up to your face to see details, thus the large display. The lower pixel density doesn't matter in terms of media consumption as much because the point is to view it at a farther distance. The point of the "Retina Display" is similar, because at x distance you can't differentiate the pixels. However, the Streak is bigger so the same effect works further away.
How is the iPhone innovative RECENTLY? The iPhone was innovative when it was first introduced, years ago. What about it is innovative now? Apple has gone stale. All they're doing is beating their currently product line to death, and adapting innovations from the competition. Multitasking, Folders, all Android. What's innovative in the iPhone 4? The E-IPS display? Wow, so much better than AMOLED, not. Only took them three generations to get off their old crap.
And what's innovative about OS X recently? Slow Leper didn't really add any features. Hell, you know that, you're still on Leopard, you can't even RUN Slow Leper because you're running a dinosaur. What's so innovative about OS X RECENTLY?
I'm not saying Windows is the most innovative thing in the world. But YOU are the one claiming Apple is innovative compared to everyone else. Dumbass.
Leopard's networking features do NOT compare to the ease of use and simplicity of a Windows 7 HomeGroup, try again.
Expose is not "MUCH better", Expose is much MORE OBSTRUSIVE, covering your entire desktop to select one window to bring to the top.
DirectX 11 is relevant to a small segment? Not really. DirectX 11 introduces new technologies that will increase the overall speed and efficiency of computing for all users. Developers just need to take advantage of it.
@manjyoumethunder you're right. i find leopards networking features easier than windows 7. look at this review of homegroups ht tp://gizmodo. com/5285452/os-x-snow-leopard-vs-windows-7-the-final-countdown
i don't want technologies that MIGHT help me, in the future, i want technologies that help me right now and are CERTAIN to help me, right now!
@manjyoumethunder lol, you are the dim one here. i was agreeing with how you said that leopard does not compare to windows 7 and furthered that thought by stating (with support) that leopard's networking is better, while you have all of ZERO cites to back up YOUR claims
No, Howdy. You're missing the point. You're reading too quickly and responding in a manner that contradicts your own points. I'm sorry if you don't understand the English language, but that's not our problem.
You need to SLOWWWW DOOOOOWN, READ and THINK before posting.
Also, just look at Leopard's networking. It's got too many settings. The average user doesn't want to deal with that.
You're not the average user, and you change your mind to fit the argument. "it's too complex", "it's too simple", you Mac users always contradict yourselves in terms of how features should work.
And by the way, HomeGroups are the "dumbed down" version, actual non user friendly networking still obviously exists, fucktard.
@manjyoumethunder and how am i not the average user? i am saying that it should functiionality WITH ease of use. nice ad hominem attack there, at the end. are you six years old, now?
You realize we've been calling each other names for the last two days now, right? You're not exactly innocent to this, and pointing it out as "ad hominem" doesn't really help your point.
You're not the average user. Despite me thinking you're a complete moron, you're still a lot smarter. The average computer user is seriously inept. Clicking "share" and selecting what kinds of files from a small selection is what they need.
@manjyoumethunder i don't comment that way unless someone has previously done that to me. and what do you base your analysis of what the average computer can do or not do?
I suppose you have a point, so I will elaborate further on my experiences.
I write chat bots for the messaging network on deviantART. We also operate a chatroom aimed as assisting users with setting up their own bots for various purposes.
Do you have any idea how many people don't know what a zip archive is, or how to extract one? A good majority of these casual users who are on the internet, apparently. I wouldn't trust them to configure anything more than home groups.
I figure I've seen a couple hundred, which is a large enough sample size from my own point of view to make a fairly accurate estimation on the capabilities of the average computer user.
Then again, everybody knows the average computer user is retarded. You suddenly trying to state otherwise to, for some reason, break the standard "Mac users like simplicity" rule is rather perplexing, though ineffective.
@manjyoumethunder two hundred is nowhere near a reasonable number to accurately assess the average computer consumer when compared to the one BILLION of computers out there. .00002 per cent is hardly an acceptable figure. can you define 'retarded' in this context?
A "couple" does not exclusively mean "two" in that context, though I apologize for the ambiguity of the wording. I meant a "few" hundred. Does that appease you?
And yes, it is a reasonable number. It's a sample size. I don't have to survey every single computer user in the world to form a somewhat accurate generalization.
"retarded" in this context? Inept. Being able to only perform the most mundane of computer tasks and general use without greater assistance.
@manjyoumethunder even at 500 the amount that you are basing this on would be .00005 per cent. hardly a meaningful sample. no, not every computer user but even a 1 per cent sample size would be nice. you are dealing with insignificant samples
and what are mundane computer tasks and general use?
Web browsing, reading e-mail, writing documents, making powerpoints, listening to music, watching videos. The average computer user would have difficult setting up any kind of networking features, even on Leopard, and you know it. I'm not going to sit here and argue the obvious with you so you can pretend OS X makes people magically smart.
@manjyoumethunder having worked with microsoft operating systems for 25 years and apple operating systems for just 5, i can honestly tell you that osx is FAR more intuitive and well thought out than windows. at least they FINALLY did away with the button that you choose to quit with named "start"!
@manjyoumethunder the start button itself does not 'start' the shutdown process, it merely contains the ABILITY for the user to do so. in fact the only thing it starts is a popup menu. why does the use of the apple to end a session not make sense?
Yes, because that article decides reality, you see?
It's a big iPod Touch. That's what it is. It matches the description perfectly. It's not a bad thing. It works. It was a good idea to use the iPhone OS! But that doesn't mean they didn't! It's a big iPod Touch! God.
@IgnorantPCFanboys Actually its the other way around lol... the iPod touch is an iPhone without phone functionality (since it came after the iPhone). So essentially the iPad is a bigger version of the iPhone with an enhanced OS that doesn't make calls either... except thru Skype. I only have a problem when people say its "just" a big iPod Touch... the word "just" undermines what the iPad really is. Its more like an iPod Touch on steroids since its not only bigger - but enhanced.
@IgnorantPCFanboys why bother arguing with these dumb fanboys, the ipad is the best tablet ever, more powerful than any of these low quality pc tablets that dont even have multitouch and are made in china and run windows
I think Dell's key to survival could be the same as Apple's was back in the late 90s. Michael Dell said some rather harsh things about Apple back in the day and its coming back to haunt him. They need to do exactly what Apple did - streamline their product line and offer products that are cool and innovate... rather than flooding their website with so many products that are hardly distinguishable from another. One of their more intriguing products lately - the Streak.
the truth is Michael is so much cooler than Steve. Hes much more outgoing CEO! and hes got a sense of humor as well

@manjyoumethunder wow, been playing the games a LOT tonight? (you seem kinda edgy).
are you saying a flag makes more sense for a product named "WINDOWS"?

@IgnorantPCFanboys
Absolutely not. A lot of this shit doesn't make sense. But an Apple rather than a start menu doesn't make any better sense.

@manjyoumethunder it's not a start menu. it's a flag under a bubble

*hovers over flag*
"start"
HMM.

@manjyoumethunder so are you saying that the icon is still blazoned with the word 'start' or not?
IgnorantPCFanboys 1 year ago
@IgnorantPCFanboys
I'm saying the hover text is "start". It's still a fucking start button.

Yes, because that article decides reality, you see?
It's a big iPod Touch. That's what it is. It matches the description perfectly. It's not a bad thing. It works. It was a good idea to use the iPhone OS! But that doesn't mean they didn't! It's a big iPod Touch! God.

@manjyoumethunder so is the iphone just an ipod touch that makes phone calls?
IgnorantPCFanboys 1 year ago
@IgnorantPCFanboys
...YES, THAT'S THE POINT.

@manjyoumethunder so anything with minimalistic controls is always better?
IgnorantPCFanboys 1 year ago
@IgnorantPCFanboys
I don't see how that ties into the iPhone and iPod Touch being sister products. Explain.

@manjyoumethunder is the iphone just a more expensive ipod touch with no new features?
IgnorantPCFanboys 1 year ago
@IgnorantPCFanboys
But it's not more expensive. You buy it subsidized for the same price and it provides the same features with mobile internet and voice service.

@manjyoumethunder are you including the provider cost?
IgnorantPCFanboys 1 year ago
@IgnorantPCFanboys
Considering you're receiving a service (cellular voice and data transmission) and every cell phone costs money to use, no?

@IgnorantPCFanboys Actually its the other way around lol... the iPod touch is an iPhone without phone functionality (since it came after the iPhone). So essentially the iPad is a bigger version of the iPhone with an enhanced OS that doesn't make calls either... except thru Skype. I only have a problem when people say its "just" a big iPod Touch... the word "just" undermines what the iPad really is. Its more like an iPod Touch on steroids since its not only bigger - but enhanced.

@IgnorantPCFanboys why bother arguing with these dumb fanboys, the ipad is the best tablet ever, more powerful than any of these low quality pc tablets that dont even have multitouch and are made in china and run windows

I think Dell's key to survival could be the same as Apple's was back in the late 90s. Michael Dell said some rather harsh things about Apple back in the day and its coming back to haunt him. They need to do exactly what Apple did - streamline their product line and offer products that are cool and innovate... rather than flooding their website with so many products that are hardly distinguishable from another. One of their more intriguing products lately - the Streak.
