Why didn't people see this coming?

Has anyone managed to get USB headphones to work on Windows 8-8.1 without them being recognized as "speakers?"

Square smart watches are for, are you ready for it? Squares.

CRAP, I clicked on your link and now I got FoxNews all in my cache.

I have a strong wrist.

You may be right! I didn't have the phone, ergo it never affected me.

RTFM, amirite? Them boards are brutal. I'm proficient enough to get Arch up and running smoothly and fleshed out and even then I find crowd to be vicious.

Hey, if I'm going to browse the internet on my phone, I want a screen bigger than 3". And I'm glad that is an option. And in no way do I think tiny phones should stop being produced. It has a big piece of the market and I'm okay with that.

Different circles, I guess. I ran into a lot of Mac snobs in the 90's and I mean jackasses. They were only second to Linux people. ;)

Suggesting I have the perception filter issue would somehow have to suggest I fabricate or make comments up that never happened. I could, if my attention span served me to do so, go into Android comments and pull out the comments as examples. They do exist.

I don't know if the maps were labeled as 'beta' or not, I honestly don't remember. I just recall the shit storm that followed that product implementation.

K, I did. The first paragraph plus the second made it sound like NFC wasn't ready at the time, as if it was technical issues.

Yes, I've done web development, as well. That is a huge Apple community thanks to Adobe. Its Creative Suite worked best on Macs for years. And a lot of people still buy Macs for that reason. And I've seen that reasoning over and over again. What I'm saying is development has come a long way and PCs are just as…

That doesn't necessarily mean intelligence. It's part branding, ecosystem, and tradition.

You're still Aces in my heart, Whitson, but my Note 3 might knock you out if you get too close to it.

You never read the "iPhone 3.5 inch device is the most perfect screen size ever and Android is stupid for making Phablets" articles from Diaz. Needless to say, I bet you a box of doughnuts that little pearl was quoted yesterday during Apple coverage in regards to the iPhone Big, I mean "Plus."

I'm sorry, I didn't make it to the end of your post. That's rude of me but I have to comment. Google Wallet and Android's NFC hasn't had much success not because of untested hardware, it was because the Big Three cell providers ganged up on Google Wallet and banned it citing "security" or "technical" difficulties…

Look a little harder. I agree it isn't as rabid as it was circa 2009, but it's still there. For example, on an Apple article (like this) you'll see a comment that says "Apple fanboys don't go on Android articles and start shit" (like your comment) and then inevitably on the next Android article there will indeed be at…

Not to mention Apple's mindset "We don't like porn, if we had our way you wouldn't be able to use your iPhone to browse it, either."

They won't release a product that's half baked?! Does Siri not ring any bells?!?! It's been theoretically in "beta" since its release!
