Superthread XXXVII

[Hallatia]

The only time people should go to Phillip Island is for the V8 Supercars and Moto GP.

On another note Brother in Laws missus has gone into labour this morning. Making it baby number 7 under the age of 6 on my wife's side of the family. With number 8 (our new addition) due on New Years Day.

Then my brothers missus is due with identical twins in Febuary.

Next year Christmas is gonna be hella expensive.

this is what happens when you marry someone ethnic, you become exposed to breeding patterns quite alien to the western 1.5 (or whatever it is) kids

"I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this." ~ Steve Jobs

And in the great mans memory Apple has just won a court case and been awarded over a billion dollars from Samsung for Copyright Infringement.

Winning.

NEVER mess with the best because you die like the rest.

There simply is no smartphone market war. There is one great product and a ripoff of that great product.

Apple forever.

Iphone forever.

Steve Jobs will never be forgotten. His name will be known a century from now long after Android and Samsung are finished.

Wow.

So much wrong in such a small post. You either don't know what ethnic means or don't know what western means, or both. You can be both ethnic and western. Western does not mean "anglo". You can have French/Italian/Spanish etc background and still be described as both western AND ethnic.

Also there are anglo people around with big families.

I still subscribe to the belief that the far majority of professional athletes are taking performance enhancing drugs.

Personally I hope Armstrong didn't cheat, it's highly unlikely though. One of my favourite quotes was from Armstrong: "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." It helped me finish some really difficult runs.

When/if he admits he cheated, or when the proof is released, I will take that quote down off my wall and never use it again.

BM is definitely the 0.5 in his family.

 

[Hallatia]

BM is probably the regret his/her/its parents have that they weren't DINKS

Samsung basically double Apples smartphone sales :lol:

[HowHigh]

And another BM fail

 

[Timmah]

LOL @ Bunniesman. Apple fanboy if I've ever seen one.

As mobiles, Androids are so ridiculously superior it's not funny.

You might also wish to learn the difference between ANDROID and SAMSUNG. One is a GOOGLE-BASED operating system, the other is a mobile phone manufacturer. And regardless of the phone styles, the bottom line remains Android is infinitely more personal, customisable and usable than the rigid format of an iPhone (one that's not jailbroken to effectively look like an Android, that is).

And this isn't coming from an Android fanboy either - I have an iPad which I absolutely love. I just don't subscribe to the ridiculous notion that iPhones are somehow not challenge-able as the best phones in the world.

 

[abpanther]

I've tipped them as well. They're a great team but they've only shown it a few times this year. I think sacking the coach will bring the best out of them. They will want to finish strong.

Problem is have you seen their team? So many players missing, Mannering, Hurrell, Friend, etc.

Im sure they will put in a better performance, just not sure if they have the troops

 

[Hallatia]

Feleti is in great form

You fool. You're on the wrong side of history. When the appeals process is over Samsung will be finished. Samsung phones are a cheap knockoff of Apple.

It's like being a fan of some crap shoe company selling knock off Nikes.

Samsung is finished in the smartphone business. They're going to appeal this, they're going to lose.

The Samsung phones that have built this lead will be banned from being sold by the time the court process is over.

It's over. Apple has won. Samsung got it's lead by breaking the law as this court case has proven and it's cost them in the TEN figures.

 

[adamkungl]

Fact: Apple are attempting to stifle competition.

If Samsung phones were banned, I'd go to the next best non-iPhone thing. You can't sue your way to market dominance.

 

[BunniesMan]

LOL @ Bunniesman. Apple fanboy if I've ever seen one.

And proud of it. Like I said, a century from now Apple and Steve Jobs will still be known. Samsung will be nothing.

Why does the cheap knockoff have superior reviews and higher sales than the great product?

You can if your rivals can only beat you by stealing your product.

 

[Hallatia]

apple is a Samsung customer, a big one too, apple rely on Samsung for some of their components. Winning $1billion from Samsung is nothing. It is nothing compared to what apple spend on buying Samsung products. It even said that in the article BM posted, but we all know that BM is severely lacking comprehension skills and his/her/its literacy skills are rather questionable too

Epic lols at the suggestion of apple putting Samsung out of business.

 

[BunniesMan]

They wouldn't have got those reviews and sales if they had to rely on their own creativity to make the product and not just cherry pick Steve Jobs' best ideas.

If Samsung thought their product was good enough by itself they never would have done something that ended up costing them a billion dollars in court.

Yeah. My wife is half Indian. And it seems her family is really fertile.

Also on my side though my mother was 1 of 16 children (same parents).

There must have been nothin to do in Singleton between the 40's and 60's

Samsung won't be out of all their business. Just their smartphone business. Smartphones are pretty much the most important market in modern technology.
