If apple ever stops its war on Android / Samsung i may consider buying an Apple product. mojp10-Sep-12 0:34 mojp 10-Sep-12 0:34  UI design is a matter of fashion like anything else. Just because Apple are trend setters doesnt mean they should own the trends they start. And the patents they use to bully the market with, should never have been granted in the first place. 'Pinch to zoom' is logical considering the abilities of the interface. 'Snap back' when sliding past the last screen is hardly an engineering wonder. Admittedly i am an Android fanboi, but even so, the more Apple fights, the less i like them. I did once consider buying an iPhone, but it's out of the question now, and will remain so until they stop their anti-competitive practises. modified 10-Sep-12 6:52am. No way #realJSOP10-Sep-12 0:26 #realJSOP 10-Sep-12 0:26  Apple recently patented a method for disabling its phone (camera and comms) based on the their geographic locations. This means the government can do it when it wants to stifle civilian reporting of specific events.

There are apps around that has done that for years. Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak. List of common misconceptions Re: No way Chris Losinger12-Sep-12 8:54 Chris Losinger 12-Sep-12 8:54  do you think Google can't do that too? they obviously have the tech: http://topnews.us/content/236292-google-remotely-disables-android-malware[^]. if they can remotely "reach in" to people's phones, it would probably be trivial to add something to the phone API that says "if (isBlackListed(location)) phone.disable;" image processing toolkits | batch image processing Re: No way User 842014-Sep-12 10:38 User 8420 14-Sep-12 10:38  You're kidding... right? If the government wants to stifle civilian reporting of certain events they're gonna kill all cellular traffic at its source not single out a specific handset manufacturer. If you're afraid of Apple and the iPhone because it somehow threatens your ability to make a living selling Microsoft's stuff just say so. I like to feel that what I buy is actually mine... AlexCode9-Sep-12 23:19 AlexCode 9-Sep-12 23:19  When I buy something I like to feel that it's mine. With Apple products this is hardly true. I don't want to engage on a firefight here about this, I'm just stating what I feel. Apple environment is too close, too proprietary for me. Seems like many people like it... many don't... it's life. Another fact that is keeping me away from Apple stuff is the feature/price ratio. Apple harware is always over priced if you look at the harware specs. So no Apple gadgets on my side.
