+--- Thread: Apple Will Go Down Hill (/showthread.php?tid=4517)
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Fat_Sacks - 05-11-2011
It's the customability (or whatever) of Windows with the un-virusness of Macs. Too bad it's not widely-spread.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - noob007 - 05-11-2011
I use it all the time. It's also a lot more customizable than Windows.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Fat_Sacks - 05-11-2011
Yeah, but anyways, Windows phone 7 curently SUCKS!
Moar stuff is optimised for Windows, by the way.

Linux is only good if you can put in all the codes to run stuff. It is fast and looks good but Windows is the most powerful IMO.
Apple DOES NOT MAKE NEW STUFF they just add stuff to what is already there.
For example, the A5 chip will be better graphics that will never be utilized because only 3% of the gaming population use the mac's OS. As well as the HD webcam that cannot be used for most webchat sites. Not to mention the iMac's immense size and how it is not efficient for taking footage anyway.
Microsoft right now has recently made the Kinect, which I don't know where it will go but Microsoft can stand up for itself and currently isn't going down hill...in fact you can't say they are until they make windows 8.
Android 3.0 is tablet only but a new one will be planned to be a combination of 2.3 and 3.0.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Fat_Sacks - 05-11-2011
3.0 runs 4g LTE, right?

Windows? Powerful?
Windows is probably the slowest OS out there.
Also, you don't need to code to use Linux.

Example? (hardware, not software)

Too bad the A5 chip is for tablets and phones.

Can you tell me a Microsoft product that isn't bloated and buggy?
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Fat_Sacks - 05-11-2011
The Xbox.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Ming-Yan - 05-11-2011
Both do I think. It depends on the carrier and the type of model.
eg. Nexus S runs 3g on some carriers and 4g on others.
Also Windows phone 7 is incomplete and still growing (like android) and will probably rapidly grow as well since it has a greater app capacity than Black Berry (at least).
But I think it looks pretty hawt, just needs back grounds and possibly the ability to customize the blocks so they can have gloss or gradient or transparency ETC.
But in terms of phones, a good Android phone with some tweaks to it is the best.
iPhone is crap after you find out how much you CAN'T do.
Black berry died a long time ago.
Wow you must only run 98, 2000, and XP if you call Windows slow...
Stuff is buggy but if you want to go to that medium, all things have bugs and guess what, they get FIXED.
A5 chip is used in macs and does not exist on a phone.
Only the iPad where it will not get utilized. You cannot add 9x graphics to Angry Birds...

You mustn't have been using anything other than Windows if you think it's fast.

A5 chip is only iPad. And it's not for graphics, but for speed.
RE: Apple Will Go Down Hill - Ming-Yan - 05-11-2011
I use Windows 7 ATM and I used to think XP was fast. To tell the truth "speed" is based off of hardware not OS.
I loaded Linux on my old dell laptop and it still lagged (and eventually died anyway).
If you didn't know the A5 is for graphics as stated by Steve Jobs.
