Facebook is garbage and sadly it is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Not only is it garbage. It is an invasion of privacy. People think their profiles are private but they realky aren't. Zuckerbeg is a believer that privacy should go away. He believes it is better for people not to have things hidden.

And he is just a downright pompous son of a B.

I hate facebook and everything it stands for.
 
while it maybe more open, it's still not a better experience than iPhone

What he REALLY means with this, " Zuckerberg: Android's Openness Offers Opportunity for 'Way Better' Experience Than iPhone" is :

Better possibilities to stuff people to their eyeballs with spam, just like he does on Facebook.
 
Zuck is right on some of these points. Obviously, Android is more open, which gives more possibilities. Also, Android is where most of the international market is. China is very much an Android space.

As a developer, would you rather go through a dysfunctional app review process and give 30% of your rev away or keep all the rev, not go through a dysfunctional app review process, save $99 a year on a dev account, and reach a much larger user base?

Apple is losing ground everyday.

Will be interesting to see when the devs move. China's new position as global leader needs to be appreciated. Estimated 300 m Android users in China by end of year.

PS I am not Chinese, I don't like FB, and I think Zuck is a douche
 
Yeah like Facebook is totally open. You can definitely change the feed styles and you can skin it or maybe you can even have a complete power in your privacy and also you own the data stored on Facebook...

Mr. Zuckerberg only likes opennes when he can exploit it, but he doesn't really care about it...

I like being closed to the iOS way. There are people in Cupertino that have spent thousands of hours thinking the whole thing through. There is no way I am trying to figure out the UI and logic of a smartphone myself. And while there are guys that can get some things right, I doubt that anyone else can get the whole thing working seamlessly... (I am thinking cydia tweaks right now)

And FB spends all of their budget on people to work on a single one working version of the site as well... Would he like people complaining that the homescreen should be done differently? I really doubt it.
 
Never...and risk the Wrath Of Jobs!!??

Lightening bolts, boils, and other curses would rain down upon him.

Lucky thing Jobs is dead, or....:eek:

Not so lucky for Jobs... Of course since he is dead why not use his death in an amusing way to spice up your glib MacRumors reply. :rolleyes:

I suggest you to look the front page and the new data for market share.
Android sucks so much and the only reason they have some market shreis because when you enter in the store 90% of the handsets are with Android, so people who cant pay for iPhone go and buy any other phone, which ofcourse comes with Android. Half of their users still use Android 2.1. Google has more than 200 different phones with their OS on the market. Apple has 1 and 90% of the users use the latest iOS. I want closet secure OS Zuckerberg. I want reviewed apps, i want stability and perfect comunication betwen hardware and software, i want security. So **** you and **** Zuckerberg, and ****s the devs.
 
Open Smopen

Are you seriously saying you think iOS is more open then Android, which is open source and can be used, modified, rebuilt by anyone?

If so, you don't deserve the internet.

I could say more fragmented rather than more open which would be another sales pitch. Get a clue, Smedley.
 
All this fuzz about a home screen launcher?

Seriously no wonder that world economics are going downhill as most media, and too many people care about this useless personal life publishing gimmicks, ... do we have nothing better to do? Like enjoying life and getting some real productive work done?

For me, all I want on my home / lock screen is missed calls, calendar appointments, unread emails and the like, ... the iOS one is nearly perfect (would miss a magical and innovative notification led on some side of the phone, though ;-).

But then maybe that is because I actually have a real life, ...

Just my .02 €¢, ...
 
isn't it weird that a big player would say such things to stir up the nest. He wants FB to be on both so it will gain more profits right? He doesn't belong to Apple or Android right? Yet he states which one has the better experience like he is siding. He might as well say which one of his children he likes more lol. To say one is better than another when you need both is possibly shooting himself in the foot. He gains nothing from that statement either. What a stupid thing for a CEO to say..

It wasn't opinion, though, it's factual. Android is open, it offers better functionality to developers and users. Those are indisputable facts at this present moment in time.
 
Some here are so drunk with love....

Actually, the way it works on the iPhone is:

1. You run in the dark, with the flashlight on.

2. Your phone rings.

3. Your flashlight goes off as soon as the phone rings, plunging you into darkness.

4. You screech to a halt, so you don't trip and kill yourself in the dark.

5. You answer your call.

6. You tell the caller to hold on for a minute, because you are in total darkness.

7. You press the Home button.

8. You scroll through your screens of icons, in the dark, looking for the Flashlight app.

9. You turn on the Flashlight.

10. You talk.

11. When you want to hang up, you press the Home button.

12. The Flashlight goes off, plunging you into darkness.

13. You click on the Phone app and hang up, in the dark.

14. You scroll through your screens of icons for the Flashlight app, in the dark.

15. You turn on your Flashlight and continue running.

It's pretty much the same if you want to make an outgoing call.

And it's pretty much the same if you want to change a song or a podcast.

Oh, and if you want to text, or do anything with a another app, you also have to do it in the dark.

And that's why I take my old Galaxy Nexus when I go running, and leave my iPhone at home.

Silly boy, indeed....:rolleyes:

Well your new nickname is " Prince of Darkness" because you seem to spend most of your time in the dark.

so you go running in the dark with the flashlight on your phone on, while making outgoing calls and change songs and podcast at the same time in the dark?

some sure have strange hobbies...
 
a lot of big talk when the Android platform is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, openness is just a buzz word here.
LOL!

Market share is not all it's cracked up to be when your talking money from apps. Apple clearly leads in this category.

Android has market share for one reason and one reason alone. Cheap/free android handsets. Apple is still taking back market share also.
 
translation: Apple won't allow us to put a crappy launcher on their OS.
 
he is and he was what he always has been: an undergraduate lazy cheap lucky idiot. we can appreciate the lucky part, but his view on technology and markets are just ridiculous.

who really cares what he says, except for some unlucky morons invested in his sham of a company?

The same could be said of the late Mr. Jobs
 
And yes! It's a matter of personal preference when choosing a phone. Some people prefer inferior phones like Android, so please let's respect that.

Define inferior. Why ask for respect when you're giving none?

Well said. 100% agree.
Ive taken the tine & the money to use & compare handsets in parralell. Android is a second rate shambles in many respects.

Zuckerberg is grabbing at straws in this. Dedicated FB handsets were produced in the past & failed because frankly FB is just not that important.

Apparently FB is important enough for Apple to integrate it into OSX and iOS....
