  • Flash is dead: Adobe announces end-of-life plans, will stop distribution in 2020

    I'm not sure which has received more security patches over the years, OS X or Flash.
     You know you are comparing a plugin with a complete OS? Big difference. Hackers love Flash.

  • Microsoft revenues up on cloud & Office 365, slowed by phones & Surface

    I think there's more computer innovation coming out of Microsoft right now than there is out of Apple. There's nothing Pro about the iPad Pro, and the touch-bar is not exactly a killer feature. I've used a Surface Pro 4 and it's a pretty good competitor to the MacBook Pro. I really like that it uses Mini Display Port for video out, so I can use my vast collection (HDMI, DVI, VGA) of Apple video dongles with it. The newly announced iMac Pro is just the same old iMac in space gray, with high end specs. Puh-lease. The actual Mac Pro and the Mini haven't seen an update in years, and I still prefer my MacBook Air to any recent Apple laptop with USB-C and the awful keyboards.
    There is nothing Pro about Windows.

  • Samsung expected to announce Galaxy Note 8 on Aug. 23

    Android is the worst piece of junkware since Windows Vista.


    Which Android are you talking about?

    a) Stock Android in Nexus/Pixel phones

    b) Near stock Android in Moto/Sony/HTC phones

    c) Grace UX Android in Samsung phones

    d) MIUI in Xiaomi phones

    e) EMUI in Huawei phones

    f) Various other Android versions in LG, Asus, Lenovo, Oppo, Vivo, TCL, Meizu and other phones

    I know for a fact a) and b) are GOOD, definitely not junkware. c) is mostly accepted as functionally very good BUT criticized for having performance issues over a period of time. I don't have much knowledge about other Androids, to be able to comment on them. But the question to you is - Which Android are you talking about? Is it based on any personal experience? If yes, which one?


    g) All of the above

    That icon really sucks.

    It's still Samsung. Gorgeous hardware and display will be ruined with terrible software and a laggy user experience that requires phone reboots throughout the day.

    Gorgeous display i will agree. But gorgeous hardware?
