Remember when that old anti-Trump, pro-Putin invading Ukraine guy on here said that you should never listen to the Apple Watch saying anything about ECG readings because it was just a fashion accessory and only a single-lead ECG that could never amount to a real-world use that could lead to saving lives? I do.

Your comment is very contradictory. Trump is very pro Putin and very frequently praises him and says nice things about Russia. Also, why bring politics into a non politics story. Also, how do you know that the guy is even old when the ECG feature didn’t even come out that long ago?

The quotes in the article are not imaginary. They are referring to the exact wording in the document they are referencing and there is nothing wrong with using quotes. The reason for using quotes is just to let people know that the wording is not made up by the writer but came from a different source.

Is it possible for you to advise which article the quotes come from.

I assume we are referring to the following.

"Apple: “We want big government”
also Apple: “We don’t want it for us, we are excluded. We want big government for everyone else.”"

No. I had no idea where those quotes are coming from. Tommikele commented on imaginary quotes and didn’t provide any context. I didn’t see the quotes from SeanKill until later. Maybe the quotes from SeanKill are imaginary. I have no idea. I guess it’s hard for me to understand why someone would use imaginary quotes. It would never in a million years occur to me to do something like that.

Thanks, so I suppose it's really a sort of written slander and maybe not wise to do it too much.

Are you referring to Tommikele's comment or Seankill's comment? If they are if fact made up quotes then it would be bad to to it at all. I disagree with lying in this type of forum. But it's also a bad idea to jump to conclusions because sometimes assumptions can be incorrect.

I feel like pulling my hair out when I read these type of stories. It is absolutely not in any way Apple and Google’s fault that almost all of the phones on the market are either iOS or Android. The reason why you don’t see Microsoft OS phones or Samsung OS phones is because that is not what the people want. There is no law preventing any company from coming out with their own OS. It is so ridiculous to punish successful companies for giving customers what they want. Before Google, Yahoo was the dominate search engine. Before Facebook, MySpace was the dominate social media platform. If you think you have a better product or service then then release it and if people like it then it will catch on. I tried Google+ and I thought it was a good concept at first but the way they implemented Google+ was really horrible and I really hated it. I’m not at all surprised that it never caught on. The answer is not to hobble successful companies, but to come up with better business models instead.
