5 years of poor trolling... Nothing to the standard of 4chan's "bald 4 bieber" campaign.
Why would anyone copy 10% of the desktop market?
And last I checked, iOS has copied Android on things such as...fingerprint censors (They bought a company outright and took the idea from Motorolla who dropped it because it was deemed not worth it), notifications that work.
One can argue given how slow Apple was to adopt it that they stole copy and pasting from other OSes.
Just because Samsung plays dirty doesn't mean Apple hasn't ever stolen anything, ever. A grid lined up like that? I don't need to see the graph of all smartphones before iPhone. I've seen Palm OS phones. iPhone ripped them off in the same way Samsung ripped off the iPhone.
Again, I like my Apple products, but you anti-Samsung trolls need to calm down. If you hate Samsung, boycott Apple, as they use Samsung products in all their products to make them...work.
How can you say his OS flopped when it's free to use vs being sold? Your logic escapes me. Btw more people use Linux then Mac OS.
No it won't
He is confusing power with interface. Apple has said from the beginning that touch and k/m interfaces need to be different. Apple has always been adamant that they will always be different and the failure of Windows Mobile is testament that for the moment it is true.

I agree about Apple getting ideas from other companies too, but please we've heard this argument a million times before and it really is boring.
Hahaha. TIL adding "&hd=1" to the end of a shortened YouTube makes it a 404 (whereas a full YouTube URL makes put the video in HD). I fixed the link now.
Hate to break it to Shuttleworth, but unlike Ubuntu or Ubuntu Edge, Apple's products are, and continue to be, successful on their own terms. Apple converging their platforms as a result of Ubuntu's failure would be as ridiculous as Apple discontinuing iPad because of Palm/HP's TouchPad failure, or just shutting down the entire company because of RIM/BlackBerry's failure. In other words, it would make zero sense!

Sadly, I think he's just got an atrocious sense of humor which, arguably, is even worse than trolling
What type of bugs? Would the average user notice them? I have a developer account since trying to make an app for lion and I have just kept up with the yearly payment. So would it work for the average user to download fully onto his computer. (my most extraneous program is Autocad)
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because that portion of the market accounts for much higher profit margins and destroys competition in customer satisfaction department.
Your logic escapes me on this one. Firstly, Android didn't invent computer fingerprint sensors. They were on PCs a decade before Android's conception (when it was still in blackberry clone form). Secondly, how is buying a relevant company and their technology/IP/expertise copying Android, did the company belong to Android corporation?
If apple wanted to copy Android fingerprint scanners, all they'd have to do is make a lackluster, frustrating, essentially nonfunctional one, instead of an easy to use, convenient, functional one.
One can also argue that since Xerox PARC interface was the one that popularized cut/copy/paste in PCs (which were subsequently adopted by Apple and Microsoft) by the time smartphones (the iPhone/Android wave) came along, the feature was fairly obvious. Unlike things like notification center.
Apple "steals" things in a much different way than Samsung does. A "stolen" noncompetitive design inspiration across industries (eg. Braun toasters and microwaves) is much different from Samsung competitively emulating Apple devices by making Android look less like Android and more like iOS and replacing default Android apps with pseudo-iOSified ones, or closely following Apple's company strategy by releasing things like sCloud right after iCloud, sVoice right after Siri, golden GS4 right after gold iPhone 5S, etc..
No one hates Samsung for making great components. Their display, NAND, and SoC manufacturing, validation, and binning processes are second to none. That is their strength. Software, UI design, and majority of their industrial designs (with some notable exceptions [1] [2] [3]) are not their strengths.

Can't wait to install OS-Android Mavericks !!!
That was the stupidest thing I've ever read.
The most significant visible improvement in Mavericks is that Safari is much smoother in scrolling. My rMBP had suffered from choppy Safari performance and occasional hanging since I bought it last year, and now I finally find the machine to be quite fast and usable. Other improvements are probably under the hood.
