Getting sick of seeing that same old AppleInsider image on Samsung devices before and after the iPhone. Never mind the bollocks that is design patents in the first place.

Interesting too in that the implication all the way through is not just "better" but "better than the iPad" when in fact if they had been that specific, they'd be had up for false advertising. The Galaxy Tab does *not* have "better graphics" than iPad in the sense that they imply in this advertisement for instance.

Also, it's a very creative use of words in general because "better" is so subjective when used in the way they use it. "Better multi-tasking" is really just an opinion the way it's used in the ad, so they can't really be held to it as a lie. No technical argument is really being made even though it comes across like a list of technical specs.

Most advertising is based on deception however and this is no exception. In fact it's a very clever example of it. No actual lies but still a complete misrepresentation in terms of painting this device as a leader when in fact it's a rather poor follower in the tablet market.

BSD which OS X is based off, is open source and free, and thats UNIX-like.
Darwin which is OS X kernel, is also free and open.

WebKit is also free and open, and powers pretty much the browser on all smartphones, as well as having a large chunk of web browser market share with Chrome & Safari.

You're kind of misrepresenting things here.

UNIX is not a "trademark" it's a very specific thing that vendors of UNIX got together to certify. A certification, whatever you may think of it, is nothing like a "trademark."

That being said ...

- OS X is UNIX
- Linux is "UNIX-like" in that it's a copy, but not a variant of UNIX
- BSD is UNIX in that it was widely recognised as UNIX before the certification
- iOS is a new OS based on a UNIX certified OS, but without certification.

Since iOS is still rapidly evolving it makes no sense to talk about it as if it is or is not UNIX. It's unlikely that iOS will ever get, or want UNIX certification anyway.

That marketing photo is awesome fiction: some dude model holding a Galaxy Tab with a smile on his face in an Apple Store-like retail setting with all kinds of models posing like they're interested in Galaxy Tabs. Where is that supposed to be, the Samsung Store?

Ultimately this technology will have to be incorporated into a real tablet like the iPad however. I would bet money that Apple has prototypes in the labs as we speak since it's a clear differentiating factor for tablets.

If someone made an Android tablet tomorrow with a proper pressure sensitive stylus that could be used to write and draw on, (not very likely I know), it would be a tablet with a clear advantage over the iPad. It seems likely to me that Apple will want to cut off such developments by doing it first. Hopefully with iPad 3 or 4.

Don't be so sure about that. Right now Samsung might win because they aren't a direct copy, not that the whole trade dress patent is invalid.

And don't forget that there are other even more important patents that Apple now has control over.

Monopolies are not inherently bad or illegal. It's how you get there and what you do with it. IF it is determined that Apple has a valid patent and valid trademarks and they were being violated then the products should be removed. Apple has every legal right to protect their IP and the government won't find fault with that even if it does create a monopoly. Also remember that there's more than Samsung out there. AND it isn't like Samsung couldn't change the violating parts of their UI and release the products.

Who says that they don't have the successor for iOS in the labs already? They had an x86 version of Mac OS for years without announcing it. Similarly, I'm sure that they have stuff already going on that you don't know anything about.

That is incorrect. 'Unix' is a certification. You have to meet the requirements. Mac OS X meets the requirements and is therefore Unix. (At least, some of the earlier versions did. I'm not absolutely certain that Lion does, but have no reason to believe that it doesn't).

Not true. The government has no position for or against monopolies. Monopolies are quite legal - and some monopolies (patents) are enforced by government policy. There is absolutely nothing wrong or illegal about a monopoly. You only get in trouble if you obtain or maintain a monopoly illegally.

Tech History 101

Tom Watson, Sr., the founder, chairman of IBM, was rumored to have said, circa 1950:

"I think there is a world market for about five computers."



Wiki - Thomas J. Watson


And...


Personnel - HR 101

Quote:
Thomas Watson Sr. was “fired” by NCR
Famously, NCR’s star sales executive Thomas Watson Sr. met a similar fate. In 1914, Watson argued that NCR’s dominant product, mechanical cash registers, would soon go obsolete. He proposed that NCR develop electric cash registers. Peterson resisted the idea. He demanded that Watson focus on nothing but sales and not worry about innovation. Following an argument at a meeting, Patterson dismissed Watson. In a fit of anger, Patterson had workers carry Watson’s desk outside and had it lit on fire. Thomas Watson Sr. was thus “fired.” Thomas Watson Sr. then joined a smaller competitor, Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R,) which soon grew into International Business Machines (IBM.) Thomas Watson Sr. led IBM for forty years and turned IBM into the world’s leading technology company.

Business Folklore: Origin of the expression “You are fired!”


Finally...


Competition 101

Quote:
My first day as a salesman I had to read a booklet telling all Patterson Salesmen what they must not do, because if they did any of this the boss would go to jail. One of the things I couldn’t do as a salesman was blackjack the salesmen of competitors. Another was bribe freight agents to hold up shipments, or drop sand in competitors’ machines to put them out of order, open offices next door to competitors and cut the prices to knock them out of business—these were all things that his knockout squad had been doing which I was prohibited from doing.

Are you not familiar with the way the Fed is sueing AT&T with its plans to merge with T-Mobile? They are doing it based on the fact that it would reduce (stifle) competition and increase prices of the products.

Here is a link for you to refresh your prior knowledge (or lack of): http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...20099789.shtml

Also, there is nothing illegal about the propose merger.

Guess I called you out now.

I think that Apple's goal is to have a "single" OS that runs on all its hardware platforms and supports multiple UIs.

It won't be too long before we see iPads and Macs collaborating on, say, "Professional Video Editing and Post Production".

Most of what is needed to run Final Cut Pro X on the iPad is already in iOS -- it is just waiting for the hardware to catch up, and a multitouch UI for the app.

To me, this was one of the great potentials of WebOS for HP -- to make it available on pcs as well as tablets and phones.

Apparently, Windows 8 is MS's solution to a unified OS for all platforms and devices.

Personally, I like all those copycats on the market, so I can buy whichever I want.
(PS: I use iPhone, as I can see the difference.)

PS: if any spelling mistakes, say thanks to LION's innovative and unique spelling feature, which nobody shall implement it, or it will be called copycat.

AIR, Apple has submitted a patent application for Lion "AutoInCorrect".

I'm pretty sure this is a capacitive stylus just like the ones you can use on the iPhone.

I meant a real, pressure sensitive, non capacitive stylus that can be used with accuracy to imitate drawing materials like pens, pencils, etc. You can already draw to a degree on the iPad, but you can't do anything that isn't sketchy or impressionistic without herculean effort. You will also never get very good handwriting detection with a capacitive stylus.

It requires a second digitiser built in to the device to separate the pen input from finger input.

1) They started with a single OS, Darwin, albeit at different versions.

2) If you mean they will unify iOS for a pocketable device, iOS for a tablet, and Mac OS into a single UI I don't see how that will ever happen. Apple has specifically designed UIs to be optimized for each device.

I don't see how that can happen whist still maintaining a durable glass display. The way I'd expect a quality and accurate stylus to be made would to be capacitance, but with low-power BlueTooth 4.0 pairing to send back pressure information. This puts the pressure sensor (and even gyroscopic pen twists and stylus button clickstyles witch point sizes,color, etc.) in the stylus.

Microsoft will be the winner in Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility as the deal makes Google a direct rival to its phone-making clients, a senior executive from Acer Inc said on Friday.

Deppeler said Acer would consider the implications of the deal before deciding on future platform choices.

Acer's already thinking about DUMPING Android in favor of WP7.

Google's revenue from Android is so pathetically low even Google is embarrassed to include it in their earnings report.

Android costs Google alot of money: Android's acquisition cost + Motorola's acquisition cost + cost of patent litigation + cost of supporting/developing Android. Add them all up and they've invested at least $15+ Billion (or more) in Android.

Their revenue/profit from Android is only in the millions. Do the math.

Android is a LOSER. it's a money-losing operation.

Despite Android's market share, Google's PROFIT and Market Cap has been flat for the past 2 years or so. Meanwhile, Apple is now the most valuable company (with Exxon).

What does Google get on Advertising? $6/year? How many new devices need to get Android for them to make up for the MMI acquit ion of $12.5 billion? How much does it cost for vendors over other licenses like WP7? How many devices have to sold with Android for Google advertisingto equal the profit from one iPhone? Who is playing the game better?

The more Android devices that are out there (aka more market share), the increase revenue they will generate due to sheer number of mobile products accessing its main search business.

Market share is the key to Google's business model.

Mmm... Based on his recent actions, one wonders if Larry Paige is "not familiar with Google's business model."

Take a look at the infographic that I posted.

Also, what is even better is that Samsung will be releasing an SDK for the S Pen software for third party developers to take advantage of it.
