I don't think anyone hate Apple. :P
Just common sense.

I hate Apple... But I like my iPod :whistle:
I think I like Scrabble™ and music more than my iPod, actually.
I would trade my iPod in for anything else with enough space for my music and a Scrabble app.

So do I, but I like the iPhone, I like Mac OS X but I hate the restricted nature of the system, e.g. either mac or hackintosh it only runs well on modern Intel CPU's.  I'm AMD and hackintosh is out of the question, but I did try running it on VirtualBox and there were a few odd glitches.



Windows Users can be just as productive as Mac Users, I'm on Windows and I have Adobe Illustrator to play with.  :eheh:

I did question the Mac on another forum, http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31981 . (That forum became lazy btw, hence default theme)

They are hard to screendump, when I click the Apple Logo (top left) -> About this mac, it logged me out and that doesn't happen on the real Mac or Intel hackintosh.  64-bit application tend to depend on SSSE3 which AMD CPU's (except bulldozer and bobcat) does not support, therefore will terminate on AMD CPU's.

No wonder why Apple controls the hardware.  :lol:

I hate Safari Mobile. With a revenge.
And that's the only Apple app I'm using. The rest is third-party...
So, yeah, somehow, I hate Apple software. Their hardware is okay but the competition's is, too, from what I heard.
Had someone else released a successful device at the same time, maybe everyone would be developing for the OtherDevice, and iStuff would be seen as overpriced garbage. Now instead, it's seen as overpriced popular garbage, which makes a huge difference. :eheh:

It's a smart move, though. Having control of the hardware means you have far fewer potential variations to contend with, far fewer configurations that could throw off testing, and it limits the scope for things like driver bugs.

That's the thing though, we're seeing other devices coming into the same space as iDevices, but still can't compete on things like the user experience. Even Motorola's Xoom, which boasts the ability to use Flash (sometimes :P) doesn't have the same level of cohesion and inter-connectedness that the iPad experience has, and don't get me started on the mess that is the Android Marketplace.

I have an iPhone4 and iPad1 combo and love it.  I run MyWi on the iPhone to share the 3G signal to my laptop and iPad making it ideal, that is if Rogers could overcome the whole network congestion issue so data isn't just a trickle during the work day.

I'm not a big fan of Mac laptops though. mostly because I don't know the Mac OS at all.  I just don't see it in business.  I've been in IT for over 14 years and this new job is the only place that has any Mac at all and even here its discouraged and only a few die hards insist on getting support for their home laptops.

Agreed. Driver bugs nearly drove me crazy, ten years ago when 3D development was in its infancy and neither ATI nor NVidia had very stable drivers for recent features. I learned to stay away from the latest two versions of DirectX at the time... (Although I should have skipped DirectX 8.1 altogether. Because it dropped GDI support, I had to rewrite my entire interface to use 3D... And then DX9 came out, restored GDI support and pissed me off. A LOT. That contributed to the premature end of my career as a 3D programmer, really. I should have stuck with OpenGL. OpenGL rocked.)

Anywayyyyyyy......

Have to say... Reminds me of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I finally had one in my hands last week... And I was completely underwhelmed. It was heavy, thick, and the interface wasn't smooth at all, even thought they had the iPad model to look up to. My. Utterly disappointed. (I always thought of it as the "ideal size" for me.)

Honestly what other platforms lacks is the exorbitant App store that simply eats everything else for breakfast, Android's App's interface is never consistent and TBH most of them are outright ugly(I own one Android phone!). I haven't tried the likes of Motorola Xoom but I'd never get one until the android app store improves. Although the ability to customize one's phone and flashing/re-flashing is my favourite feature with android devices :P

That and I'm being a little biased due to me getting a flashy new iPad :P.

PS : Does refreshing tracking page after every 2 minutes make the thing arrive sooner?

Statistically, it actually slows it down, in my experience.
