get over it

If you dont like it dont read it. If you dont like mac then leave the forums and dont come back. why would you rate it negative if you know you dont like the iPhone. The is just stupid. I mean that would be like me going online looking for a windows site and voting negative on everything a waste of time and stupid.

Get over it.
 
Why did I rate this story negative?
Because the bloody iPhone is the nail in the coffin of my beloved Mac experience.
Because of the iPhone Apple Inc. was born and Apple COMPUTER Inc. was brought to the grave.
And the main reason is, because the iPhone crowd, that gathered here over the years, has made this place a very hostile and fanboyish environment. See the quoted messages below to know what I mean.

Ok, now I'm just getting frustrated that my question keeps getting ignored. Maybe it's because no one knows, but ----

Will the Nike+ sensor be included in the new iphone?

Bueller?....Bueller?

While I appreciate your perspective, I have personally read more comments from individuals who do not generally like Apple but joined online Apple related sites/blogs due to the iPhone. In fact, I have read more comments from individuals who rudely criticize Apple and bait people into unnecessary discourse.

Thanx for proving my point with a new post that leaves the impression of ignorance and hatred.

I love my Apple computers since nearly 10 years. I was welcome in a friendly and open community in that time. Good old ThinkSecret or Spymac were main news sources back then, but Macrumors was always a place with helpful hints. Hey, I needn't create a user account for several years, as a quick forum search was fully sufficient if I had questions about special Mac troubleshooting.

And I hate, that there are fewer balanced and informed discussions over here ever since iPhone developed wannabe-Mac-experts into fanboyish beasts.

And special explanation to you: I was curious to see, what new finds were in beta 3.0, as I'm in the market for a new phone. So I started reading this thread. But as the "iPhone roxorzzzzzz and all others are PWNed" started emerging, I found this thread to be little helpful for me - and therefore negative.

Yeah, you're right. The typical "Dell offers the same for cheaper"-crowd, I know.

But though we share the same point of view we are getting more and more OT now :D:D:D

So any more new stuff found in 3.0 beta?

My point is that you are negative due to the people who are dumb and insult you. But the info on the main site is a accurate comment and post. So you are not negative due to the info but due to what people say to you. This is a tough world you need to have a thicker skin. It is called hazing. anytime you are new to something it happens. people think they know more than you and try to cut you down. I don't do it and i don't think it is right but it happens.
 
Battery percentage is nothing new to those of us with jailbroken phones...

Yet still, very nice features! I'm really excited to see this OS when it's released, and the phone that will probably go along with it :)
 
I want the 3.0 software now!

Uh beta? The points I take from this is just all the little things that apple has passed up for some reason. Good to see it being included though. But these seem insignificant to things like video and spotlight which has always been my favorite mac OS feature.

I don't want to pay $10 for this maybe I'll just see if that beta is still available.


Swagi- you rate the thread off the posted info. No one posting really has any news past that it's mainly people just excited for the new OS. To learn more about the iphone OS 3.0 try appleinsider who posted the info or search for different threads on this topic. And no I don't think the iPhone pwns all other phones. But apple makes good products and it's tough to fight against the versatility of this device as a handheld computer video game handheld PDA and phone all in one with the apple commnity support.
 
I think this will be like having a new phone...the one I should have had in the first place... but better late than never.
 
Holy crap. I posted about the Safari window thing in the 100 New Features thread and nobody cared. Now all of a sudden it's some wild hidden feature? There's a TON of little features in 3.0... geeze.

Maybe if they could cache webpages it would be useful in safari...nothing like having to reopen every page with back or going back to the tab you were in..especially on a really slow network.
 
What would be cool is Photo Booth effects in the camera application.
(Is there something like that in the app store?)

I do not agree with this statement at all. It is no secret that the anonymity of the internet has perpetuated increased indecency and disrespect amongst peer to peer conversation and discourse (most psychologists will agree on that statement). Human decency and respect have taken a backseat to increased hostility, uncontrolled aggression and misguided anger (perhaps as a counter mechanism to daily negative peer to peer/co-worker interaction). Common courtesy and consideration [most] humans learn as juveniles is rapidly lost and behavior that is not normally exhibited towards others dominates internet communication. Behaviors towards others not exhibited and/or condoned in public are blithely accepted in the online "culture". Reckless disregard for others has recently manifested itself through the increased number of teenage suicides attributed to the indecency from those who utilize the internet to further antagonize their peers(s).

Stating that "hazing" is a [accepted] form of internet communication and the general internet community requires "thicker skin" for "survival" demonstrates an inherit desire in dominating others. Online communication is rapidly becoming the premier form of communication in social and industrial related human activity. As such universally accepted respect and courtesy in peer to peer dialog is greatly lacking.

If you wouldn't state something written to another individuals face, don't state it at all.
 
what i want is a hardware switch next to the volume rocker and silencer that will put the iphone into low power mode, in the settings you would get to define what "low power" means but generally it would mean that the wifi, bluetooth, 3G and gps are all turned off. it could also turn off mail fetching, dim the screen whatever.
 
what about?

Is long song title still not scrolling?
and also
what about using playlist as alarm(I guess this will be possible through third party now that iTunes library is an API...)

I really like to know..

Ok first off, if i want to be dominating i could be. I am pearly telling you that people do this. I was the blunt on many jokes all my life and still am, the difference between when i was younger and now is that i learned to deal with it i grew a thicker skin. I mean really. And you talk about not saying things to someone's face. As i recall i said that in the very first post. If you don't like it don't read it or respond to it. All you are doing is making people think that the internet and specifically this site is a bad place for information. I understand what you are saying but you really need to either lighten up or become a "thicker person".
