Analyst predicts weak demand for Samsung Galaxy S8, suggests focusing on Apple OLED 'iPhon...
The same or more technology as Apple for half the price - will always see competitors doing well. Software advantages are slowly becoming irrelevant.ericthehalfbee said:S8 won't have much new. Iris scanner? Saw it in the Note 7. Bixby? Who'd use a Samsung proprietary voice assistant when they have Google already built in to Android? Curved edge screen? Already proven useless by the S7 Edge. Fingerprint sensor on the back? Great location next to the camera lens (smudges) and not particularly good for mobile payments.
Samsung, like all Android vendors, is limited in terms of what they can announce. We already know what's in Android Nougat, so no surprises there. That leaves them with useless hardware gimmicks to try and separate themselves from all the other Abdroid vendors running the same commodity OS.
I don't see the S8 doing well.
At this point it's all useless hardware gimmicks, for everyone.
What consumers want is: solid build, waterproof, longer battery, better camera, longer battery, and a longer battery.
What we see is: thinner, battery gimmicks, other gimmicks, more battery gimmicks.
If they released the iPhone Phatt - 2mm thicker and 5x the battery life. Guess what would sell the most of any phone ever!

Spotify app prompts hint at $20 lossless audio subscription
... Until Apple comes out and releases their music on lossless - then it's the best idea ever that everyone else copied.lkrupp said:A few so-called audiophiles and that’s about it. But hey, if they can get a few extras bucks out of some extremists then I say go for it.
BTW, why does Apple even support this lossless format if it makes no sense? I mean, Apple doesn't cater to a few extremists or invest in useless tech... so what gives?

Spotify app prompts hint at $20 lossless audio subscription
And yet hundreds of millions of scientific articles, data sheets, engineering specs and reviews say otherwise.panoptician said:Double blind testing has shown that even audio professionals listening on super high-end equipment cannot differentiate lossless from a 256k mp3. But the placebo effect is strong and people want to believe that they have superpowers.
All this information and understanding of the human race supports a HUNDRED BILLION dollar industry with hundreds of millions of people who have actual experience with such things - that would say you are incorrect.
The entire collective of the worlds knowledge with hundreds of millions of people who verify they can hear a difference: ∞
Your sad statement: 0

iOS 10 now installed on 79% of Apple's mobile devices
Are you kidding me???
Only because Apple annoys the F'n S#!* out of you every time you turn your device on with their relentless pop-up windows until you just capitulate out of sheer anger and frustration.
Honestly, its forced complience and a big steaming pile of bullshit. It's one of the worst policies of Apple and Tim should be tarred and feathered for this crap. Steve Jobs would never in his life allowed this kind of crap that ruins the user experience.
This article isn't anything to be proud of - its just stating how many people Apple made completely misserable before they caved.

Maaaaaan, I just want CC to run on all my new iMac's and Laptops.That is just not true, Surface Pro can run the entire Adobe CC Suite, and the Xd Surface preview rocks!
Illustrator crashes almost every day and overall performance is very disappointing.
