i have to question the 'It already does everything I want it too.' surely it does everything the inventers wanted it to at the time, eh

fuck no
it did everything Steve Jobs told you you wanted it to do at the time. The amount of stuff it *could* do that didn't fit with his vision must be soul crushing for their dev team.

Did Steve Job's kill your family?
Let it go.

The only real difference between Apple and every other computer manufacturer
is that Apple are more gobby about all the shit they didn't include the first time round.

is this a racism thing? you maybe stretching your hatred for strong black women a bit here

to some extent
Still interesting to remember that I think smart phones are still largely prototypes, and these companies are still trying to suss out how to do it, and the technologies required to do it well still don't exist half of the time.

if someone killed my family i couldn't let it go

( mongychops, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 21:59, archived)

what if it was someone you really liked?

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:03, archived)

i doubt i would like them much if they killed loved ones

( mongychops, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:07, archived)

what if they were one of your loved ones?
Your favourite son bumps of the unwanted middle child, the one with the squint and the runny nose? Sure they were "loved". but you also "love" your wank sock.

ok, let me put it closer to your emotional remit
What if it was a horrendous bivvy accident?
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:11, archived)

are you expecting me to blame my bivvy for an accident? why would i do that

( mongychops, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:17, archived)

to be honest mongy i hadn't really thought it through
i was going to say it wasn't properly fire retardent but that would be the development teams fault. Then i thought about being lolwaki and coming up with some sort of magical walking killer bivvy, but i doubt you'd buy one of those, so let's agree to drop it.

Steve Jobs from the future did.
That's why Acid Kewpie has come back to the past in a quest for pre-emptive revenge.

Well, yes and no, I guess if you want to be technical, it was everything the inventors 'could do', within budget restraints and all that.
What I meant is though, with iOS5, there is no functionailty that I want that isn't there.... well, when they open up the SDK for Notification Widgets.

Notifications? like Android has always had?

( RocketSurgeon is pretending he's still young, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:13, archived)

Yes, they were slow to bring them to the table, but they _are_ done right.
see above.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:13, archived)

It's always had notifications, they were just over-looked and not updated in the 5 years since it's first encarnation.

The stupid things I an make my phone do with apps like Tasker that iPhones can't even begin to think about...
I was so glad that I didn't bother buying a smart phone 2 years ago and waited a bit longer for android to come along. It's the lesser of the evils, but I'm soooo glad I will never feel resigned to just buying an iPhone ever.
( RocketSurgeon is pretending he's still young, Mon 27 Jun 2011, 22:25, archived)

I really like Android and WinMo7.... and my fave if they fucking well bought out some decent hardware/support for it, is WebOS.
but I just find things easier with apple products, they're all compatible with eachother for starters. Ohhh, I forgot another thing that iPhone needs which it doesn't; custom message-tones.

WTF ever happened to Jamster?
So nice the lack of stupid ringtones now.

I've not written anything for any phone. iphone apps are meant to be conceptually easier to understand as a single entity whilst android apps are lots of disparate unconnected things under a single icon apparently. Keep thinking about having a go at an android app, but I doubt it'll happen.
