f**king

You're good at fixing RB20's too

i have nothing.......

[Boof]

Thank f**k someone else takes my side on this argument. If it weren't for Apple fanatical (read: retarded mindless sheep) consumers and its admittedly clever and well used marketing hype; it wouldn't have gotten such a cult following. I know I've just opened a whole can of worms and expect replies contrary to this but oh wells.

Agreed Luke, brother inlaw as one and i rekon they're the most over rated things ever...Had an N95 nokia quite liked it now i've got a prepaid nokia that does everything the n95 did...But about to upgrade to a samsung thingo

They bitch and moan if someone takes the piss outta them, yet they have their "I'm a PC" ads, constantly take the piss outta MS (which shows me they are insecure) and MS just cops it on their chin. Sure MS isn't some squeaky clean company but atleast they can have a laugh at themselves

The thing stems from the whole 'cult of apple' where they used to use their allegiance to apple as a badge of honor against the 'totalitarianism of microsoft', which tbh was a good movement at the time. thing is, the ms cats have been spending quite a lot of money to improve their perception and have done so by modifying their products. Vista and 2008 office was a total f**kup, and they fixed a load of those issues with win 7 - I hated vista, but I LOVE win7, and I've never been an MS fanboy

MS have spent money to become more consumer friendly after all the antitrust stuff - they probably deserved to have been punished more than what they got, but thems the compromises - a government can no more cripple a software manufacturer it relies upon lest it cripple itself... thank the gods that apple hasnt been implemented as a govt standard.

I for one are happy with SELinux on RHEL and Fedora - much better to have live hdd encryption natively than having to pay big bucks to do the same thing from a proprietary company

Performance testing

With the Performance Testing feature, you can test your vehicle’s acceleration. You can select from various different tests, for example 0-100 km/h acceleration test and a quarter mile test. Remember not to try these tests on the public roads!

hahahahah nice disclaimer

Ive got the same thing on my iPhone, seems to actually have a hint of accuracy behind it. Ive also got one that tells you how good your brakes are (stopping distance, gforce etc) The power calculations seem to be around the ballpark too - within about 20rwkw of what the car actually pulled on a dyno.

I have my standard exhaust on now, coilovers out so its very 4x4 spec atm & need a pair of new tires, regency wednesday 19th.

Can anyone help out with a pair of proxes4's?

Pfffft iPhone haters.

It set the benchmark for what phones should be like.

OS 4.0 has multitasking, etc. and that's released in June/July this year.

The funny thing is, the phone just works. None of this Nokia bullshit where it restarts once a week. I had a n95 for 2 years and couldn't wait to see the end of it. The n97 or whatever their touch phone attempt is, is pathetic. Laggy as all f**k. iPhone never lags or freezes or randomly reboots. It just works.

Boo hoo about no Flash on your phone. I haven't encountered a single website that I needed flash to look at. What do you all do? Watch .swf movies on your phone?

Windows Mobile is rubbish. I also had a Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile but it's not designed to be used without a stylus, so it reders it useless.

Blackberry's are a better phone for a corporate environment, though.

i think not, i dont know anyone with an iphone (jailbroken or not) that isnt crashy and/or laggy... admittedly mine is a 3G so its slower with new apps.

+1 for blackberry in a corporate environment... i know of a fair few companies that wont allow iPhones on the network. an iphone is not a business tool... its a toy

too many hoops to jump thru to make an iphone do what i want, and not look like complete ass. so android it the way to go,

[jrm]

Odd - my iPhone (3G) has never been crashy, laggy or had issues. Mine is non-jailbroken (to the amusement of all my IT work collegues). I also only have about 6 apps installed. I typically use it for phone, SMS, email and the occasional eBook. It does all I need it to, and well. Better than any WM-based phone I've ever used (and I've used more than a few).

[bezender]

i reckon less apps/mods = more stable. it has been a fun phone, but im not gonna get another

[Volk34]

i have an iphone 3gs 32g thing is jammed packed full of music, movies, apps & games im up too like 27gb worth of crap on there and still runs like brand new! never had a problem with it...only tim it did was when i tryed to jailbreak it & it shit itself, but it does say do that at your own risk and you will encounter problems...

[bezender]

probably the biggest frustration i have with the iphone is there is a known problem with the chipset on my pc and connection of apple devices via usb.... has been known for ages and it prolly wont get fixed... oh well, im off to greener pastures

[dark.sky]

I've got a non jailbroken 3G with only about 1GB free, got heaps of apps etc and it simply doesn't crash. To this date I haven't found a website which won't load on it (Im posting on it right now infact). I can even log in to my outlook account remotely with a FULL Microsoft interface. Also people say they are fragile, I've run out of fingers to count how many times it's been dropped/squashed etc and it's fine. I broke the screen on brand new high end nokia in 2 weeks.

[CRoNic...]

I managed to get iPhone working with our Exchange 2003 server a few weeks back. Literally took me about 2 weeks to get working. Such a head f**k!!! So many configuration settings on the server end that have to be performed.

But once it works, it works quite well.

In saying that, I implimented a Blackberry server for e-mail purposes in my last position and that worked so much easier/better than the iPhone.

[Krishy]

n97 ftw!

havnt had a problem yet with mine.....ahhh good read to see how many people are actually defending apple....

[bezender]

there are lots of fanboys out there

[dark.sky]

lol I gotta stick up for something I own, everything else I own gets paid out haha

I know the iPhone isn't perfect and isn't according to everyones taste, but that's life.

Apple > < Microsoft
