Yeah, but see, when you use PenTile, it's not really 313 ppi. It's closer to, like, 200. After switching to a Galaxy Nexus from an iPhone 4 I will never get a phone with a PenTile display ever again. The difference in clarity between the two is ridiculous.

No, Apple uses LCD's while Samsung has pretty much switched exclusively to AMOLED displays. They're completely different technologies and probably wouldn't even be manufactured by the same Samsung subsidiary. I don't think Samsung would use the iPad's display even if they could, because it's not AMOLED.

Jeez. Thankfully you don't have children, then.

iTunes locks itself to 5 computers, each of which then can support unlimited iOS devices. It's very easy to share an iTunes account between a family; in fact, I believe this is standard for most people and something that Apple supports.

The difficulty of making extremely dense AMOLED displays without using PenTile is a huge limitation. I have a Galaxy Nexus and its display is pretty shitty compared side-by-side to the Retina Display on an iPhone 4/4S, not because of the colors, but because of the difference in clarity. The GN literally has the same…

Sorry, I don't see where you gave any information whatsoever. All I see are baseless assumptions.

No. People actually really don't care about the Chinese workers who manufacture their products. People will not care if the suicide rates for factory workers of other companies is higher than Apple's. That's such a naive assumption!

"I really long for an unbiased review of the new iPad."

I can't believe how amazingly awful Android Twitter apps (well, Android apps in general) are.

A very naive worldview, though.

That's clearly not what the author meant, and *surprise* the only people who read it like that are the same people who accuse Gizmodo (and every other site) of bias toward Apple.

... really? Apple haters will never be satisfied with any words describing Apple in a non-negative light, I guess.

Even disregarding the illegality of this, self-righteous douchebags are far more annoying than obnoxious people.

What about symlinks? Or whatever the Windows equivalent is. You can go one step further and sync all your application preferences between computers using symlinks to Dropbox. I don't do this for all my applications, but I do sync the "texturepack" folder on Minecraft between my desktop and laptop this way, and it…

Rock isn't the only legitimate genre of music. In fact, since electronic music exploded, it's (IMO) one of the least legitimate genres, considering how restrictive it is (i.e. every rock song uses the same three or four instruments).

You can't really compare contemporary production techniques (for contemporary pop songs that literally do not contain a single "real" instrument) to those of the 70's and 80's, because different musical styles calls for different production techniques. Auto-Tune and digital recording sucks the life out of acoustic…

Those are an awful lot of hypotheticals. The same could be said about virtually any service. What if Google were hacked? Someone could get access to all my Gmail messages!!! And all my contacts!!!

That wasn't your original question. Your original comment talked about how troublesome emoji is because of the lack of standard support on non-iPhones. My point was that you don't think emoji is awesome because you have an Android phone, and emoji support on Android sucks. I now have an Android phone, too, and it's…

Why are you such a hateful person?

Holy shit, what? You realize that this is the exact defense Apple users used for the iPhone a few years back, right? I'm surprised of all people YOU would be using this defense, considering you were probably one of the people who ridiculed the iPhone for the same deficiencies.
