Not that old horse shit story again. Surely consumers and investors aren't that dumb are they?

Apple's new iPhones dope-slap Samsung in US

NEWSFLASH

brand new phone with pent yup preorders outsells phone that's been on sale for 6 months.

This has to be the most desperate Apple propaganda I have ever read.

Two years after Steve Jobs' death, how's that new CEO working out?

What I want to know - Jony Ive

What came first: The Hipster name or the Hipster job?

iOS 7 SPANKS Samsung's Android in user-experience rating

Re: so does that mean

Eh? Only android offers proper application sandboxing to stop apps reading other apps data. Its a pretty much weekly occurrence where ios apps are caught uploading other apps data..

It's official: Firm numbers show firm global lead of pricey iPhone 5s

in summary

Outside China: people locked into Apple's ecosystem that have come to the end of their two year contract cycle begrudgingly choose to renew rather than lose all their content.

Inside China, the great firewall means new users are unknowingly making the same mistake western Apple owners made 2 years ago.

New iPhone sells out, millions in hands of lucky fans, Cook cock a hoop ...

Re: That's 9 million.....

Rotten Apple iOS 7 fury: Glitchy audio or is today's music really that bad?

Smug much?

In MASSIVE surprise, world+dog discovers Nokia checked out Android

Re: "Nice gig, that will destroy Nokia"

Nokia have nothing left. They sold the Nokia and Lumia brand name to Microsoft too. Even if TKFKAN wanted to make a mobile they couldn't use the Nokia our Lumia names.

In short they can only really make Wellington boots.

Microsoft does a U-turn, releases Windows 8.1 to developers early after all

Problem is

People will find out a month earlier that 8.1 isn't the magic bullet that Microsoft are pretending it is.

The problems with Windows 8 remain deep into 8.1

BALLMER TO RETIRE FROM MICROSOFT

Candidates for the job.

Jim Allchin, Brad Silverberg, Paul Maritz, Nathan Myhrvold, Greg Maffei, Pete Higgins, Jeff Raikes, J. Allard, Robbie Bach, Bill Veghte, Ray Ozzie, Bob Muglia and Steven Sinofsky

Larry Ellison: Google is ABSOLUTELY EVIL, but NSA is ESSENTIAL

Java != Davlik

Quite clearly Elison is an idiot if he doesn't understand this.

Using misleading quotes like "Java for Android" doesn't help his case, it makes him seem REALLY desperate.

Leaked photos of iPhone 5C parts portend ugly Google legal battle

New iPhone - Just as crap

but not as expensive.

Not a great promotional campaign.

FBI spooks use MALWARE to spy on suspects' Android mobes - report

Re: Hmmmm...

No, it' just the media have decided that posting about critical iOS flaws like the one linked below, are somehow not newsworthy, despite being 1000x more "real" than the Android nonsense that seems to be posted by security "experts" every other day.

Surface RT: A plan worthy of the South Park Underpants Gnomes

Microsoft's problem: No dominant platform to tie all their products to anymore.

The days of Windows dominance are long gone.

http://www.businessinsider.com/windows-monopoly-is-getting-destroyed-2013-7

The 10% (32bn) drop in Microsoft shareprice is bringing it back to where it needs to be. Another 4 days of similar drops should be about right.

Microsoft unveils even more tempting Kinect offering: Open source

Re: ... Guinness World Record for fastest selling consumer electronics device:

Which it transpired actually meant.

"Guinness World Record for fastest shipping consumer electronics device"

As for the following 8 months, Microsoft's sales of Kinect fell off a cliff because of their channel stuffing they they did to achieve this bullshit headline..

eBay: Our paid Google advertising was a total waste of money

Well duh...

ebay have such a market dominance, what did they think advertising was going to achieve?

Everyone that wants to buy or sell on an auction site already knows about ebay, there was nothing at all to gain. They migh as well be advertising air...

Apple iWatch: Coming soon, runs iOS, to earn mucho mazuma

Re: Hmm, sounds like the Xperia Smartwatches

SO yes again, Apple's innovation seems to be just copying Android and pretending it's new...

This is going to go down so well with the iFans and iInvesters.

So much noise on WinMob, but Microsoft's silent on lovely WinPhone

Re: Elop

" People are once again aware of Nokia."

Marketshare dropping despite new product launches says otherwise......

If I were a Nokia shareholder, I would be looking to divest, as quite clearly Elop has put them on a suicidal path,

Bill Gates: Windows Phone strategy was 'a mistake'

Re: Gates quote

You sir have been fooled by Microsoft's clever accounting.

Xbox360 will never make a dime of profit for Microsoft. The development costs and warranty repair costs will always outweigh any profit from the hardware and game licensing.

What Microsoft (and other American companies) do, is "reserve" cash for future costs. so the $2Bn (which eventually doubled) was "reserved" in a single REALLY bad quarter. The next quarter, that loss is all forgotten about, and they can claim profits, which the press gleefully report without question, and fanboys lap up without question.

It's how American business works, is why American business is so screwed, as quite clearly if I ran my personal finances like that, I would have been bankrupt years ago....

Google v Microsoft mobile war: Who's REALLY to blame?
