Magpie Apple plunders the competition for cosmetics, as egos run wild

Love all the negative troll comments but...

As someone who's actually using iOS 7 (along with 4.2.2 Jelly Bean) I like it - It's a marked improvement - I've handed it to non techie friends and they've picked up most of the basic changes within minutes.

Being a beta there are a few things that don't render super and a few hangs but it's pretty polished.

I wish Google would put a bit more (project) buttery goodness into 4.3 as 4.2.2 on my Nexus 7 is not as buttery as I'd like it, even when rooted and O/Cd

Funny how so many negative comments come from people who have no first hand use... Smells very hypocritical to me but I digress -

Re: The Liberator - a bargain

What you're not taking into account is sneaking bullets. The x-ray machines are designed to point out ammunition. The people watching are also trained to see it, finally, they sniff for gunpowder.

Intel, Apple forging chip-baking deal?

Swift cores on 22nm tri-gate anyone?

If Apple could get Intel to produce it's Swift core ARM chips on Intel's latest and greatest 22nm (future 14nm) tri-gate technology, it would give the company a huge leap ahead of the current competitors using 28nm ARM A15 cores that are quite hungry and expensive.

I feel that this would take a LOT for Intel to produce anything other x86 based chips but, you know what? The fat lady did sing: Apple moved from Power PC to Intel... Stranger things can happen!
