Oh, look - a reprise of the 'all the media, market researchers and tech commentators have an axe to grind against Apple' argument. Do you seriously think this is true? Apple gets loads of positive media attention - probably more than any other tec…

Quote: HTC details how carriers, chipset makers stall & block Android OS updates What HTC provided was a dispassionate account of the process. 'stall' and 'block' are loaded terms, introduced through the usual creeping dishonesty which …

Quote: After jailbreaking, an iOS device stops enforcing app signatures, effectively giving it the security profile and stability of an unlocked Android phone, and making it roughly as attractive to third party commercial developers. When is …

The whole idea of 'productivity' apps on a phone makes no sense to me. Editing a spreadsheet or presentation on a device with a 4-inch screen is always going to be horrible, however well-designed the software is. Tablets are a bit more feasible, b…

I just don't get it. I don't get why you would use a Surface, an iPad or any other tablet for serious productivity. The format is inherently unsuited to it. Just get a laptop. Apple has got this right by pitching the iPad unashamedly as a content …

In the media I've read, the Surface and its sales figures have pretty much been panned. DED really needs to stop with these childish 'the media is biased against Apple!' articles. They're unprofessional as well as fallacious. Apple gets an extraor…

But in the UK you don't have to buy a 'Sprint iPhone' or a 'Verizon iPhone'. You can just buy an iPhone. It's unlocked because it's never had any network association.

Quote: the existing USB 2.0 is still very fast, faster than virtually any hard drive That's not really true. USB 2.0 maxes out at 480Mbps, which is 60 MB/s. Real-world throughput is considerably less. Any hard drive made in the last 5 years c…

Can you not... just... buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple and use whichever SIM card you like with it? Like you can in the UK and virtually every other country in the Western world? The US cellphone market continues to perplex me.

Can whoever deleted my post in this thread without affording me the courtesy of a brief explanation why please explain which part of the post was deemed 'inappropriate language'? I didn't use vulgar words or insult anybody's person; I merely comme…

This thread is truly the zenith of pointlessness. Don't you lot have anything better to do all day than whine about Google on the internet? I thought this was supposed to be an Apple news site rather than the home of the Google hate mob?
