I dunno how, but we need to create an America which innovates and produces again.
Now.
No more buying imports. Make good stuff here.
Can we please lose that stupid “word” gangnam?
I’ve been helping my brother buy a Mac. They are grossly inflated. They call a 2 Core I5 Mini Mac with Intel 4000 GPU a graphics machine? Freeper please.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 was given to me by my employer, which is why I own it. It compares well with the S3, which is good because the S3 made me give up my iPhone 4S (the S3 was simply that good). Unfortunately for Apple the Galaxy S4 is here. If it sells as well as the S3 did that will be another major win for Samsung.
Strong competition is only good for the consumer. I’m Apple with all my “stuff”, and having their clocks cleaned only means a better price and product for me long run. Microsoft wilted without a viable competitor for many years.
Apple got greedy and changed everything because they had a religious fan base that worshiped everything Apple and paid twice the going rate for anything with an Apple logo on it. But these idolaters are a fickle bunch who really chase technology to have the coolest whatever.
I still like my iPhone and all iTunes music, although I hate the new iTunes platform because it sucks!
Yes, Apple has become a lumbering corporate giant that has resolved to create the best color screen available that no one can really notice any way rather than innovate and give the customer what he demands.
Its going to get really bad for Apple and I can’t say I’ll feel bad for them because its their own damn fault. I’ve seen this play out before during the 80s. Apple cast itself as the smug yuppie computer and pcs though inferior in design whooped them till the company was almost dead. Apple came back and for a time it looks as though it had learned its lesson but again it has demonstrated that it loves its proprietary smugness and peddles products for a premium that don’t even exceed the specs of competitor products as if the brand is enough. Well it isn’t.
Samsung has continued to improve its products steadily. I’ve had my frustrations since switching from an Iphone but those have been reduced to nothing. My Galaxy Note II is an excellent phone and there is nothing I desire to do with it that I can not. The new Galaxy S4 is not just an improvement over the iPhone but is in a whole other league. Apple will always have its minority loyal following but its products are no longer the best designed nor the best performing but they are still the highest priced and if they don’t learn to be more customer oriented they are going to find themselves back in the place where they were before the iPhone.
There's no sign of innovation from Apple anymore. It's really just a cash cow to reaped. In fact, the management has so little idea of what to do, they're buying back something like $75 billion of Apple stock. Sounds like they'd be smarted to buy Samsung stock.
Two or three years ago I thought apple would do for tv what iPod did for music. Today the tech guy said on the radio apple backing off. Amazon Netflix and others seem to be the next tv thing. Or maybe direct or dish will offer something spectacular.
Been with apple since 1986. Love my iPad-phone-desktop, but don’t know what they can or will do next.
I think a watch and glasses are too small and gimmicky. Don’t see the market.
Got the 5 phone, but almost went gal 111. Apple fits in my shirt pocket better.
Once you buy into Android, you're loaded up with Samsung's uneraseable ching-bong-wang gookware apps, plus a bunch of other shitware from your service provider (Looking at you, Sprint PCS), and these apps all end up fighting with each other for the simplest tasks like launching a maps app or streaming music to a bluetooth headset. Lots of Samsung trash flat didn't even work, like 'Kies' desktop connectivity and the lousy embedded GPS hardware that can never find or keep a signal. Some of it's regional: Works in Europe and Asia, but unsupported in North America. Or, it's available on AT&T but not on Verizon or Sprint PCS. Just terrible.
When Google releases a new version of Android, you can pretty much forget about ever getting it on whatever Galaxy device you presently own. Only the people buying the latest new Samsung phone will get the new OS, and maybe if you're lucky Sprint/AT&T/Verizon will get their tailored version of Android-OS on your phone a year later. Once they get the new Android version, that's all they'll ever get. I had a Galaxy IIs that Sprint didn't roll out the new Android OS for until it was two versions and over a year behind, and even then they had to even rollback all the installations to fix bugs that crippled phones, erased data, and wouldn't let you restore from backup. Samsung blames the service carriers, and the service carriers blame Samsung, and then Samsung and the service carriers blame Google.
Who wants to go through this for a PHONE? It's like the and PC architecture form factor insanity of the 1990s is back in the year 2013 only for your Samsung/Sprint/Android phone: "Oh, your 16-bit ISA card needs to have IRQ7 because it's conflicting with your HDD controller in ISA slot 4, but you can't change the jumper. You can't put that 478-pin Pentium4 in that old PGA 423 socket. Hey, maybe if you changed your port addresses on COM:1 over to 02F8, then your sound card will work... Hey, can someone copy over the MS-DOS 6.22 version of io.sys to this boot floppy so I can boot my phone?"
GET. OUT. OF. HERE.
Fortunately, my Sprint contract expired and I told them to shove it up their butts and I went and got an iPhone. It works every time, seamlessly, and connects to every other Apple device I have. If they push a system update, I wake up and it's just on my iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Glorious.
Anyone buying Samsung garbage is just wowed by the big screens. Give it awhile, and they'll learn the hard way. Buy Samsung and you're boning yourself in the butt. It's a PHONE.
Finally, let me just say this: Anyone who owns a Microsoft Windows phone is just plain retarded.
