Needless to say most Android users are not like that - many have Apple products, thats the point. Its the I wont buy anything APple types who are very weird indeed.
Why should we forgot Xerox product? Is that because they released a GUI computer before Apple?
They didn't release a damn thing?if Apple hadn't bought their technology (and enormously improved it), it would be sitting around in some dusty storage room somewhere. At best?actually it would probably be the same place as the blueprints of the Saturn V?nowhere.

Not in the modern form of multi touch with pinch and zoom gestures and capacitive screens - the iPad was first there, the original tablet market ( stylus, resistive screens, full desktop OS on the tablet) is dead. But it was dead before Apple.
Of course you knew some of these things.
Also, soon you will have thunderbolt and a SDD drive in your PC. Well in about 5 years, when prices have fallen so you can afford it. Thats because of Apple. They push the industry. Without an "expensive" product doing new stuff nothing would happen. DEll sure as hell are not going to innovate in their consumer line as they sell at margins of 5%.
AI should have a list of APple firsts. First commercial WIMP interface, first modern Tablet, first modern smartphone, first PDA, first games console etc. We can then link for the Androids and then can go bang their heads on their desks, repeatedly.
Yeah.. typical Apple bullshit.. when you start revealing garbage about Apple or stuff doesn't work.. don't get upset..it's only electronics.. it's not important..
IT IS IMPORTANT because our lives are increasingly depending on technology and money we spend goes somewhere.. Of course it's important.
No I"m not a kid.
I am a creative director with 2 design degrees and one of my main topics was contemporary design during the studies.. on top of that, i have worked for Fortune 500 companies.. among which some things for Apple believe it or not.
My facts are not skewed.. they are truth.. they are only skewed from the perspective of those who try to defend Apple.. I've personally talked to many people who were involved in technology and what was happening during that time.
I'm not upset at all.. I'm actually very calm.. I just really dislike the BS coming from Apple and PR shills and so on trying to defend them.
Other than that..I'm fine thanks. I would say Apple fans are mad and upset because Apple stuff and market-share are going back to insignificance just like it did with desktops and WIndows.
I've been reading this thread for quite some time now, I have a day off college.
You are completely bogus, you are an enraged juvenile child who is somehow personally insulted by particularly Apples recent actions. You been spreading absolute lies, flawed logic, self-contradictions, hypocritical and double standards. I'm not going to waste my time spoon-feeding you there.
1. Everyone knows Samsung copied Apple, particularly TouchWiz, there isn't a shadow of doubt. You have to be a moron on epic proportions to think there isn't some form of mimicking going on.
2. Apple didn't copy anybody with the iPhone or iPad, iPhone existed in iPad form possibly even before the iPhone was conceived.
3. If Apple copied LG and Samsung, where are those phones? Since they must have been revolutionary. There are almost no similarities aside from the fact they are both phones.
4. iPad? Really? Your going to downplay the only successful tablet in history? You downplay the Newton for it being unsuccessful yet you do the same for a successful product?
It's a sorry state of affairs you live in, you are most certainly not a degree holder, nor have you worked for a Fortune 500. Don't make such outlandish claims unless you are prepared to prove it. Your vocabulary, writing style reflects none of what you claim.
You have no credibility because your not even open for discussion, instead your a literal laughing stock on this thread.
Does anybody think that a reasonably adult would have his facts so skewed and call himself AndroidDomination on an Apple forum? Pretty weird stuff, and somebody who works for Fortune 500 would have to "talk to people in technology?"
Also, clearly an Eastern European or Russian given his lack of "thes". 15 years old. Vladisvastock.
They didn't release a damn thing?if Apple hadn't bought their technology (and enormously improved it), it would be sitting around in some dusty storage room somewhere. At best?actually it would probably be the same place as the blueprints of the Saturn V?nowhere.
The Xerox Star was a commercial product, and was release prior to the Lisa.

Why should they, there is existing proof that they didn't.
The only abuse I'm aware of on this forum is coming from AndroidDomination, MacRulez, and their ilk. And gossip doesn't interest me.
The abuse you throw at the other user while you claimed they were wrong, when it was actually you that was wrong. And what gossip? The documented proof, or the stuff you are saying?
Let me come over and steal your "significant others" charms, and we'll see who's the whiny one. You seem to forget that the passion, obsession, and "it's-my-baby" protection that SJ shows towards his and Apple's products, is why they "just work", and are as successful as they are.
SJ was literally stabbed in the back once as we all know = shame on him for being so naive;
SJ is consumed and enraged that it has happened again, this time with Eric Schmidt/Google = shame on you for thinking he's gonna stand back and take it this time while "his baby" get's molested. I know I'd go after the _________!
Infringement !=stealing
Getting angry over it is one thing, suing over it when it will not help you sell anymore phones (since they claim they can't make enough as it is) is flat out retarded.
And don't give me "we have to protect our ip or it becomes invalid" argument. Touch wiz didn't come out yesterday or even last year.
Hey, nice of you to join us annonymouse! I see you are now claiming that google rewrites history! Quite funny because this has nothing to do with android or google!
I know you keep thinking I own an android phone and that's the best strawman argument you have, showing how incapable you are of using any of the other 40 logical fallacies, but I'll keep saying it for the 50th fucking time, I don't own one.
Have a nice day!
You don't have to own an Android phone to be a Google shill. Then again, you could simply be lying, like you apparently did when you said you were putting me on your ignore list.
BTW, the part about rewriting history is about how you and menno are part of a Google sponsored astroturfing program that puts out this kind of bullshit. Sort of like how when Page, a year or so ago, tried to claim that Apple was rewriting history and that Android was developed before the iPhone/iOS. Sound familiar? Of course, he failed to mention that the "Android" he was talking about is not Android, but another phone OS also called "Android" that was never released.
The rewriting of history, lies, deceit, misinformation are all part and parcel of the Google propaganda machine that you are proud to be part of.
Google does have an awesome propaganda machine. Android is a clear derivative of the iPhone interaction - the touch based zoom and look and feel demoed by Apple in Jan 2007 - and is using Sun's code which it has now closed ( in violation of the licence). Meanwhile it has forked Linux, and, of course, does not open source anything valuable from it's own technology portfolio. No Maps and no Search. Nothing that would allow others to compete. Apple open sourced webkit - used in most Android phones - and used to open source Darwin. Google is giving up no IP and stealing where it can. ( It also leeches off other people's content of course).
I think the app store scared Google. An app doesn't require a search. Otherwise the user will search the web; for a restaurant, a cinema listing etc. That gets an ad into view, and a payment if clicked. With a restaurant app that step is bypassed.
google need to disrupt this market - there interest in the app market can be gauged by how slow they were to bring the paid Android market to most countries, something which a cloud based expert like google should have no problem with. People are now used to free apps on Google, paid by ads. Lets see if that model scales, I dont think it can given the slow rate of increase of advertising revenue and the large rise in apps. But goggle will get their cut, even if 99% of ad revenue goes to 10 apps, and the rest be damned.
... There are no good guys, there are no bad guys, there are just capitalists and they are all vying for your money. ...
Despite the fact that the poster you are replying to presents an entirely warped perspective contrary to the the facts, I have to strongly disagree with you on this point. The idea that the activity of capitalism is essentially amoral is a particularly pernicious mistake. Economic actions do not enjoy some special status where they are free from ethical considerations. If anything, economic activity has even greater moral implication than most acts. It's when people try to rationalize that away or simply ignore it that the entire system breaks down, and it's exactly this ignoring of the moral consequences of actions that's led to the economic catastrophe we are in the midst of. Without morality, there are no good economic systems

The tabloid gossip you linked to. And what are you denying? That "Lisa" is Steve Jobs' daughter? That he named a $10,000 computer after her? That her birthdate is the origin of the Mac's timekeeping system? All these are physical facts, not innuendo. So, yes?I am uninterested in gossip.
A lot of the most vocal fandroids, linux geeks, and freetards are autistic to one degree or another. This has been my observation, both in real life and on the internet. Pointing out superiority in aesthetics, ergonomics, or ease-of-use just infuriates them, so there's no point in doing it. They can't perceive these differences
Not going to delve into the mental capacity/affliction issue, but in general my experience with those on the engineering and software engineering side of things, this rings true. Even take out the word "superiority".

So much disinformation, so little time...nah, not worth the waste of electrons. You've posted 2145 posts on an Apple-oriented website to say how much you hate Apple. There's no breaking through that wall of pathology. Enjoy whatever they're paying you?or if they're not paying you, consider therapy.
(That goes for AndroidDomination, MacRules, Menno, sprocketts, etc., etc., et endless cetera.)
Apple has been EXPOSED. Let's face the fact that technology is rife with unattributed cross-fertilization, stop suing each other, and build great products instead. Eh?
Really? Why spend the millions of dollars in R&D if anyone can just copy it? IP and patents protect the competitive advantage of everyone. You would think differently the first time your work was ripped-off.
