I'm bashing it because it adds a 1990s technology that its competitors know no one cares about.

Because you don't care, everybody else must not care?

Do you know how much pressure sentive styluses are popular today? Most digital drawing are drawn using a stylus...

I agree, styluses/styli (those pens they have with hundreds of levels of sensitivity) are definitely vital for digital drawings. While I earlier stated that the iPad may not need that anymore, I find it hard to deny that having pressure sensitivity (at least having it enabled for some apps for drawing/painting) would be awesome. Imagine having that opportunity and being able to plug it into a computer/monitor like Wacom tablets and just draw from there. There are already Wacom tablets with screens built in but imagine how great it'd be to have an iPad do that as well. One can dream haha Although I'm still iffy on using it for a phone... Just reminds of a PDA too much lol But if a stylus is going to be marketed, at least it's for a phone with a screen that's large enough to reasonably support it (I've tried a stylus on the iPhone before for the record haha)
 
What is there problem with having people wait in a line? oyea no one waits in line for there product because they have no demand for it, I guess that is a problem. This whole commercial just goes to show they don't get it, they can't compete with apple because they have there heads in the clouds.
There new phone is innovative? what is that a stylus? isn't that kinda 1990'ish?
what is this a palm pilot? no its a brand new phone using something that is over the hill and they are flaunting it as something new and cool? I think they have there heads up in the clouds someplace, do they not understand what people want? well I guess not there new phone will fail but hey nice try guys.

Welcome to about 20+ pages ago. Nice try guy.
 
If have to attack a competitor's product, they blew it!

Seriously? Did you just get back from Mars?

the best advertisement was free

all the champions had iphones except 1 during the vince lombardi trophy gauntlet. LOL! owned! apple didint even have to pay for that.

Steve Jobs had that mentality... 'I use it this way, therefor everyone must' Hard to deny that, seeing how locked down iOS and Mac OS X are. Choice and options are two words that never existed in that guys life.

Reminds of 1984 and Big Brother... oh wait a minute, didnt apple pretend to be against big brother at one point?

...or a user who's installed the same defective app that interferes with Windows Explorer on all of his systems.

I certainly don't have any issues with cancelling copies on my systems.

Or by "defective user" did you mean someone who regularly starts copies that they don't want to complete?

No, Someone who regularly starts many copies only to realise they go faster copying to one location at a time. My main PC has 3 internal drives and a 3TB external. If you start multiple copies it slows down. If you are copying from one drive to another more than once then try cancelling one you will see. Try it if you don’t believe me. We take a lot of home movies and pictures so I move files all the time.

So you're talking about an imaginary bug, don't you?


:rolleyes:

===================================================

Who has said that there are no bugs in Windows?

Think before you post. Samsung sold more smart phones last year than Apple did. So the demand for Samsung phones is higher than that for iPhones.

As I said - "Or by "defective user" did you mean someone who regularly starts copies that they don't want to complete?". Since you know that parallel copies lead to excessive head movement that lowers throughput - why keep doing it?


My main PC has 3 internal drives and a 3TB external. If you start multiple copies it slows down.

Mine has 8 internal and 14 external. I do multiple parallel copies all of the time.

Of course, I never set up a situation where multiple threads are using the same spindles - Computer Science 101 says that "it slows down" if you do that due to head contention.


If you are copying from one drive to another more than once then try cancelling one you will see. Try it if you don’t believe me.

Never seen it - I simply don't believe you. Or, I believe that you've knockered your system up to cause this.

I use reparse points because 26 drive letters is too few for some of my systems.

I've never, ever seen an issue with cancelling a copy except on systems with failing hard drives.
 
Get a sense of humor people, and quit kissing Apple's ass. I thought it was pretty funny.

Gotta agree here. Not a Samsung/Android phone fan at all, but they nailed the stereotypical Apple fanboy/girl in these commercials dead on.
 
Think before you post. Samsung sold more smart phones last year than Apple did. So the demand for Samsung phones is higher than that for iPhones.
But that doesn't change the fact that people don't line up for hours to get one. I think the reason they sold more is price point. iPhones are great but expensive.
Although I see a lot more people playing with iPhones on the bus everyday than all other phones combined.

@Oletros Yeah ok dude. What ever you say. :rolleyes:

And the question comes up on how are your drives connected. What are they running threw.

For example if they are running threw. Are they sata or IDE drives? If IDE drives are they running on the same cable? Are you doing uploads and downloads to the same drive at the same time?
Are they sharing the same chipset to handle all the processing of the data?

Depending on how it is done you can run into a mess of problems.

Your externals I am going to assume are running on USB and chances are they are running on a shared USB 2.0 chipset. USB 2.0 can not do an upstreaming and a downstream at the same time. If you are running on a shared chip that means it is flipping between the 2.

I don't realy care who doesn't believe me. Have a good night.

They are all Sata drives and USB sticks.
 
You should look at the note. It is something that combines a tablet and a phone.

One of the biggest short comings of tablets right now is the lack of being able to use a stylus. For many things I would love to have one. Big time for taking notes or writing things down. In those things a stylus is just by far better. For basic navigation yeah the finger is great.

For basic navigation a finger IS great! ...but only if you can reach from one side to the other, try tapping the corner opposite to your thumb on a 5.1" screen.

I kind of like that phone. Getting a little over Apple but a Apple fan website isn't the place to say that.

And there is your problem.

USB you only have 1-3 controllers on your computer for all your USB ports. Chances are at most 2 controllers.

My guess is 1 sata controller that everything is routed threw including your Esata port. This is a hardware issue not a software one. You only have so much bandwidth and data can only be transferred at the rate of your slowest bottle neck. Since chances are you have data trying to go both ways threw different bottle necks it can cause a world of problems in terms of speed.

As pointed out this is a "defective user" error.
 
Interestingly I saw a lot of white iPhones in the hands of Giants players when the Lombardi trophy was being presented. Can you imagine if they needed styluses too? :rolleyes:

My new Samsung Skyrocket was $199. If I wanted the 4s - 199. And the phone I got wasn't the most expensive (nor was the iPhone either). I should add - these were "on contract" prices.

Off contract - the better Android phones are pretty much the same cost.

But nice try. Sincerely.
 
I liked it. It showed how functional and fun the device is... if you're an artist the stylist is a nice feature yeah i know ipad has a sketchpad app i use it with my finger but I prefer a stylist. this was a fun commercial.
