Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg will one day both be as famous and powerful as Michael Dell.
Ouch. Low Blow.
I'm waiting for Ballmer to swallow his pride when they discontinue the Surface product line. Was that a failure, or what? But, but, but, but, but it's got a kickstand!!!

I'm still ticked off at Ballmer (and Gates) for killing the Courier tablet project.
I even contributed to that Kickstarter version for the iPad, called Tapose, which the ex-head of the Courier project helped with.
Thanks, that answers my question. I wasn't sure what you meant by "quarantine". It sounded like you were talking about removing or blocking apps after they were downloaded (aka quarantining them).

No, it doesn't mean I endorse the entire statement. My only point was that the report said it had no numbers for iOS mostly because Apple doesn't share such information.
Which was a bit wimpy on their part, as other sources such as the App Genome Project have previously noted that iOS apps were more likely (until recent updates) to grab and share our contact info with third parties for money.

But, before you do that, there are a lot of other things you need to talk about, like the browser engine you created with your bare hands and your decades of multi-touch development, and, oh, I can't remember the other thing, but maybe someone else can.
Actually I think I commented that I did two browsers from scratch. One was for an embedded 68030 control system, the other for a prototype interactive settop box in the mid 1990s when I was head of a major STB R&D lab. Of course, it was easier to write one back then.
I started with HTML when there was less than 1000 websites on the entire planet. We often had to use a text based browser like Lynx because we were on green screen terminals. Our company (Stuart Entertainment) was one of the first to have a web page.
I've been lucky to be involved in a lot of seminal projects in my life. Some were pretty well known back in the early days of home computing, and so was I, in some circles. In fact, once in a while a person reading the forum figures out who I am and emails me. But that's not important. I'm just here to share my knowledge.
This is a forum. We only know what we know about people from what they post. My background and knowledge are clearly demonstrated in my posts about history, patents, trademarks and how devices work.
As for your posts, it seems that you rarely add anything to a conversation except personal attacks. Why don't you tell us what you've ever done, instead of just insulting others? Thanks.

Is that edited after the fact, or did Ballmer really have a photoshopped picture of Cook holding a Windows device at whatever this is?
TS, Apple's strict secrecy rules do not allow me to answer you, you know (I note that you exclude the possibility of Tim ACTUALLY holding this Windows device, and preserving the photograph in preparation of a forthcoming Microsoft event, just after Apple's bankrupcy).
Here's a tip for you Larry. STFU and do it yourself, if its that easy. You want innovation, then innovate, lead, not expect others like Apple to, then follow in their wake. Geez, what a douche.
What are you smokin son? With iOS as a dev you are sandboxed (like a child as it were), in Android you basically can run any bit of code you like. What is it about this you don't understand, or somehow equate to "getting snookered by propaganda"? Of course, the apple evangelist will take this fact and throw it in my face as the reason Android is so terrible; insecure and riddled with mass destructive malware.
1. That has nothing to do with whether the software is 'open' or not. It's possible for an open-sourced OS to sandbox apps just as it's possible for a proprietary OS to allow apps free access to the entire device.
2. You just explained in a nutshell why Android is so much more prone to malware than iOS. From a user's perspective, 'open' doesn't mean a whole lot (if anything). Security does.

Who is the next quack, we going yo hear from??
Maybe someone will share a picture of Tim Cook holding a Samsung Galaxy 2

Tim Cook has been very positive towards Microsoft Surface, you know, and went as far as saying "the Windows 8 tablet makes a great cutting board for my sushi."

This could very well be your least eloquent reply to an anti-Google post.

'Tech-stalker'? That sounds like a synonym for 'Google'!
>Google CEO digs into rival tech companies, says industry needs more innovation
Wow, what a ridiculous statement from the Co which has copied so much of Apple's designs.
Is he that dumb or just being a smart ass?
