Samsung design chief talks plastic and software, says future is in devices with 'souls' - Page 6

 

As with any mobile, the angle, force of the impact and the surface material make a huge difference. I've generally found that the rigidity through the use of metal and glass makes the iPhone more susceptible in certain circumstances (especially if it lands on a corner/hard material with little elasticity), though likewise, I've also dropped an iPhone before and not had it break. I'm instead using the experience of reports from people around me to back-up my own experiences, however, not everyone's device is going to suffer the same fate.

 

It depends, what do you consider an advancement in the smartphone market to be? Personally I've been impressed by the comfort of the GS3 despite the larger screen, which in turn has allowed better remote access into work than previously and I now find the screen large enough to use to enjoyably stream content when in the bus station etc (where previously I didn't). Other little tweaks like when the device vibrates when you pick it up to remind you of a missed call/message I've found very useful in everyday life but, it all depends on what you're looking for in a device and your daily habits/preferences/requirements.

You don't know why ice floats on water then.
Where did u get your PhD from?
Probably out of a Corn Flakes box.
Your lack of understanding basic chemistry is most self evident.

 

I haven't even studied chemistry beyond 16 and even I knew that melting doesn't constitute a break in chemical bonds. Water is still water whether it's liquid or solid, it hasn't changed into a new compound/chemical, because no chemical bonds have been lost or made. It's simply due to the excitation levels of the particles as to how orderly they pack together. Of course there are intermolecular forces involved as with all matter, but none of those bond or break one atom to/from another in a way that produces new chemicals. So yeah... I'm inclined to believe Mr PhD on this one.

I think what he is being confused about is not melting from one physical state to another, obviously melting itself does not break chemical bonds.... maybe the transformation due to combustion and releasing harmful combustion byproducts?   You guys are talking about two totally different things...

The question of water and ice had nothing to do with melting per se.

It was a question to guage his understanding of chemistry, in which you both failed miserably.

I consider this topic closed because I refuse to bang my head on the wall discussing fundamental principles with those who clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Bye, bye.

Google is supposed to be releasing Key Lime Pie in May.

 

Watch, the S4 won't even get it. 

I'm pretty certain it will get it. The S III has been updated quickly for an Android-based device. They simply have the sales numbers to warrant the investment. I don't think that will change with the S IV. Even the Galaxy S II are slated to get 4.2.2. as their last Android OS and the S III to get 5.x.

The main difference is that Google will do internal testing of 5.0 for its Nexus devices so that when they finally release it then the other vendors can start to do their testing and make their changes. This takes time but I think it's fair to consider Apple's iOS beta testing time for any such comparison, just as its fair to consider this vendor and device specific stepping of what gets an update, if it gets an update, as a real issue for most customers that are using Android.

Heh. Case in point, water.

 

What would be the point of pointing out that water has four solid states (one of which is only achievable through so much pressure that it's exclusively theorical: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1106.1941.pdf) if you have to explain all the equations on an Internet board? 

Television teaches people to grossly approximate, which is what he did, I think. In absolute, he's right thinking that heat will "usually" break chemical bonds, but approximating "melting" with "chemical bonds broken" would mean that ice turning to liquid water would change H20's chemical structure.

However, sufficient heat applied to said water will first turn it to gaseous state (yaye, cute clouds), then break it into various combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms at 2200°C (well, one third of H20 molecules are broken on average at that heat level, half at 3000°C if I am not mistaken).

 

That was just, however, random science bits learned from savvier people than me for the benefit of whoever cares ^^'

Whoah, the classic "I failed but won't admit it, so i consider the discussion closed because I made an ass of myself".

Anyway, bye bye, hfts. Enjoy your stay at SamsungInsider!

Hey when u put ur soul in designing a a premium product it shows up in the craftsmanship which is missing in SG4 which is been glorified with worthless piece of cheap plastic n use of android is being masked with services n app. This is height of sickness. Don't try to make consumer an idiot with these baseless judgements
