This is a normal post I like this comment from Tony:
"All I know is that Apple products work. We got our first Apple 13 years ago to do Computer Graphics and Art. Only an Apple did what we needed. PC's, though cheaper, were good at typing and children's games. The other reason was reliability. You plugged it in and it worked. PC's can do many things now but for graphics, photos, art and printing especially newspapers you have to have an Apple."

I know what he means, i had to buy 5 pc's until i got lucky and got one that actually worked when i plugged it in. What an idiot.

I use macs, it's the only thing i can use for making music, that's the only reason i use them, i've never taken any of them to a coffee shop.
(, Sat 25 Aug 2012, 8:52, Reply)
This is a normal post I love these kinds of idiotic comments
I'm not sure about reliability rates either. I have friends with macs who have complained about various issues, failures (not as easy to get into and repair or replace either). I do all my web and graphics work on PC's and find no issues either. I just don't get why they think macs are better. I put them at a level pegging with PC's just more expensive. It's an opinion btw. I have used macs at school, but that was over 16 years ago now, well before the modern mac rounded corners boom...

I can also plug it in and it works.

Nokia were showing full touch screen prototypes way before the iPhone.

I had a Sony P800 which was a touch screen and very similar (once the optional folding keypad was removed).

If you want to make a touch screen phone and use the frontal area economically while making it easy to hold in your hand and keep in your pocket, there are not many options. They didn't come up with a radical solution - it was just the obvious one that everyone else had already figured out.

personally I don't see the iPhone as being all that innovative all them pocket sized electronics had been heading on a path of convergence for years. Between the PSP (zomg has a rectangular screen and a circular button with a square on it, looks like a stolen apple design to me), NGague, various palm PDAs, MP3 players, cellphones, it was about damn time someone put all that stuff in one device, seriously I'm lazy and only want one thing in my pocket. tbh I haven't really even kept up with pocket sized electronics in years, so maybe I'll go buy a smartphone or something sometime soon.

the rounded rectangle is just such a basic geometric shape I might as well try to trademark a common word and sue everyone that uses it. I was thinking of the word the™ now whenever you say the™ send me .01 currency units!

and most of the other patents seem to be small software features that in no way should be patentable. can apple demand people remove sliding glass doors as they slide and grant access to a building? and my first cell phone had a lock that required you to press 1 2 3, more or less the exact same gesture (yea okay slide to unlock wasn't in this trial but I'm bitter about it).

Bounce back, okay kinda a nice feature but can easily work around it, then again how much is that really worth?

touch to zoom to text, it just seems logical that if I'm looking at a large web page on a small screen that I would want to zoom, if we look at the adobe pdf reader I have select, zoom, and the hand tool. with a touch screen the hand tool can just be a gesture, so might as well put zoom on the one touch. although if that is specifically designed to look at the text then that should be easy to dodge.

maybe it is all just that simple because it is 2012 and not 2007 and apple didn't "invent" it all yet

that said multi touch does seem to be a newish thing and I'd say is worth protecting.

maybe something else, no one seems to have a nice and easy chart saying what won/lost
