Steve Jobs has 6 Weeks to Live?

About the flash on iphone thing, heres my experience with flash on android. #1 yeah it does kill battery with a quickness. Pretty sure one hour of flash video would kill a full charge on my droid 2 with extended battery (and make my phone hot enough to fry an egg)

#2 You can turn it off. Dont want it? You dont have to use it.

#3 It seems pretty stable. Never had any crashing issues or anything.

Pretty sure if it ever came to iphone it would be about the same.

It competes with Apple and it would render most of the appstore redundant. That's the reason it's not on the iPhone.. anything else you hear is propaganda.

Example: Grooveshark.

Lol, any luck hooking your "Dell Lap Top" battery to your iPhone yet? Get that battery life up yet?


fucking wires... how do they work?

acting like an asshole is for the young

it's funny how most of us around here were total asses but now are pretty calm

i'd definitely say if you're still an ass by 30 you're doing something wrong

Heh.

They aren't assholes like we were... where we'd get you to post pics of your pathetic cock and post them online... or make you want to off yourself because you can't get laid... not like back in OUR DAY!

i wonder what Stevo spoke to my president about...

Wait... Did Steve Jobs just say that pretty much all innovations (including, something so non-innovative as multiple font faces, which have been in print well before even the Japanese used their woodblocks) in personal and home computing are thanks to him dropping out of college? LOL, I love how he sort of graces over the real reason he was tossed out of Apple. It probably had nothing to do with him being a belligerent asshole and their top talent refusing to work for him.

Steve Jobs is a self important douche but he is right in many ways in terms of innovation. The comparison between Microsoft Vs. Apple is like comparing the Private Sector to the Public Sector, night and day difference. One is dull and by the book while the other offers "Out of the Box" thinking and is certainly more laid back. The real difference is obviously one runs the world and the other has fat nerds waiting in line to buy over priced I-Phones (Did I spell that right) that don't send pictures or have the number 7 selectable until 6 mos later with the I-Phone 3G15double QBZ and the 15 other version released over and over again.

I am , however, extremely excited for the I-Pad 2.

LOL, the only thing Steve Job innovates is new ways to steal ideas from other companies and pretend they were his own.

um.. duh.

This is why I give Apple people a hard time.

Being fair, Apple does give some technologies a wide early adoption that may make them more successful (ie eSATA - why does the common PC needs this and what inspiration do manufacturers have to include it?). They've also turned over a lot of code to the open source community over the years (CUPS, Bonjour/Avahi). They also, rarely, give credit where credit is due - Apple engineers have admitted that Avahi is hugely better than Bonjour ever was.

But for every success...... you have some douche bag claiming that Apple invented the internet before Al Gore and how 100% original and innovative OSX is....

I can never figure out why it matters so much to people like you.

I use whatever technology works and works well for the solution.

At the end of the day, though.... Apple is a bit like Japhei.

Apple lies and rebrands things (just like Japhei)
Apple fails to deliver (just like Japhei)
Apple claims credit for things they didn't develop or developed in unrelated tandem (just like Japhei)
Apple rarely gives credit (like Japhei)
Apple has few brilliantly happy customers (like Japhei)
Apple is far less efficient, more expensive and extremely unreliable when compared to other sources (like Japhei)

.... this list of comparisons can go on for four pages.

Of course, like Japhei customers, some Apple customers are actually blissfully happy - even impressed - with both Apple and Japhei's services.

So, in a nutshell, if I strutted up to ng.com and told them all they were all stupid and wrong about Japhei because I bought one product from him successfully....

.....when well educated and established members have gotten shafted by Japhei all over teh internetses... Disregarding all of their wisdom for "hey, gee whizbang, these are cheaper than originals and this dudes skill is unparalleled!"..... You all would eat me alive and would have significantly legitimate concerns about my sanity and well-being in promoting transactions for Japhei.

Apple is the same story with a different name.

There is no happy place - you can find teh drama in the OSS community, in Redhat Linux, in Microsoft, Google..... but at least have your facts straight if you're going to champion "UNIX" on PC hardware and falsely claim divine innovation has blessed the Steve jobs as the 10th Vishnu Avatara.

More of THE SAME BULLSHIT from Jobs, seriously, his tumor really needs to act up.

What Apple hopes you didn't notice about iPad 2



(CNN) -- It was a magical performance from a consummate performer, on that we can all agree.

Speaking for a little more than an hour, in a voice that has lost little of its calm intensity, Steve Jobs mesmerized the audience Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and by extension the world.

His introduction of the iPad 2 did quadruple duty -- it enticed mainstream customers, wowed spec-hunting tech geeks, tweaked his competitors and pleased Wall Street. Future presidential candidates would do well to study it.

Essentially, Jobs was selling a dream that could set your rib cage thumping with desire.

"Technology alone is not enough," he said in one of the day's more lyrical asides. "Technology married with liberal arts, humanities, yields the result that makes our hearts sing."

Full disclosure: Yeah, I want to buy one, too.

Do you think you'll buy the new iPad? Tell us why.

But a dream-made reality comes with limitations and imperfections, especially in the gadget business. Like any good magician, Jobs used sleight of hand to distract from the things we're not supposed to see.

On the morning after, it's time to take leave of our hearts, return to our heads and name them.

Man on wire

Magicians who use wires in their act don't let you see them, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. In this case, the wire is the same old white cable that you'll have to use to sync your iPad to your PC or Mac from Day One.

Yes, apps such as Audiogalaxy or Air Server let you stream music and video to the iPad via Wi-Fi, but they don't remove the need to hook up to iTunes to back up or sync content for most apps.

In a device that's supposed to be about effortless connecting, and a world that is moving to cloud syncing, this is an increasingly clunky throwback.

Memory man

How much memory will the new iPad have? We don't know, because Jobs didn't tell us. Given that he ticked off all the other major specs of the device, it seems an odd omission. Could it be because its memory is exactly the same as the original iPad -- 256 megabytes?

That would look embarrassingly paltry next to iPad competitors such as the Motorola Xoom or the HP Touchpad, which both boast 1 gigabyte of RAM.

Gadget blog Gizmodo claims an Apple employee quoted 256 megabytes when demonstrating the product, only to have the claim walked back by a PR handler. We'll wait for better proof.

But there is another kind of memory that we know is exactly the same on iPad 2: storage space. The Apple tablet still maxes out at 64 gigabytes. Sure, the competition isn't beating that yet. But given the standard pace of technological improvement, one would expect a 128-gigabyte hard drive by now. Could tablet design have reached some kind of inherent size limit?

Behind the screen

Contrary to what the rumor mill had been expecting, there was no improvement in screen resolution -- meaning the iPad 2 is already lagging behind the iPhone 4, with its much-touted retina display. (An iPhone 5 is expected later this year.)

And while Jobs told us how many frames per second of video the new iPad's cameras would shoot, he didn't mention megapixels. This is not a spec he has been shy about announcing when it came to iPhone models.

Holding back?

In all the hoopla, it's easy to forget that many features announced for iPad 2 were expected -- and were technically possible -- in iPad 1. It was widely remarked at the time that Apple was deliberately holding back built-in cameras, for one, so that the iPad 2 could launch with a larger splash.

Barring some mass outbreak of leaks at the notoriously tight ship that is One Infinite Loop, we'll likely never know the truth. But we do know that one "new" feature touted Wednesday -- the ability to use the mute button to lock the orientation of the screen -- was originally available in iPad 1. The button only changed its purpose when iOS4 was introduced.

So what, if anything, is Apple deliberately holding back for iPad 3? A memory boost? Retina display? Cloud sync? Stereo speakers? (Yes, the iPad 2 is still mono.)

One thing we can be pretty sure of -- there will be another peerless presentation of achingly beautiful tablet technology this time next year.

Don't worry. Nobody will make you buy one.

iPad is such bullshit, you can buy better netbooks for half the money with more power and you can even directly access the hard drive, imagine that!

That's dumb.

How the hell am I supposed to ostracize reasonable people that use reasonable devices from my professional clique without the iCrap products?

I mean... if we all used the same devices and could accomplish the same work... that's like Mark of the Beast shit right there.

And have you seen Windows and Linux communities? All the people are rude as if they expect you to intuitively use features rather than spend all day blogging about how someone has discovered a way to shoehorn functionality like Flash into an iPad.

And Windows has viruses... You don't see viruses on the iPad! I'm secure. Can't be hacked. Apple protects me.

Oh, one moment, I have to reconnect to this public Wifi spot at Starbucks......
