Me too.

Yep, and you can still see it by googling "galaxy player 50" and clicking on google's arrow/preview button thing just right of the link right now. Not sure why anyone thought they'd make something so easily verifiable up. Kind of funny Sammy pulled the whole site though.

I have an HTC Sensation running on T-Mo for work, and an iPhone on Verizon as my personal phone. My parents have Android phones (admittedly cheap, crappy Froyo ones with the horrid MotoBlur skin on them), and trying to teach them just to get some music on their phones is quite an exercise in futility. Small sample…

Thing is that there are, what, close to 200 million Android devices sold so far? But Google Music is showing downloads of 1-5 million. G+ is showing downloads of 5-10 million. Those are really small fractions of people using the main ways Android syncs music and photos, respectively. If it were easy, of course…

You're right that they didn't invent anything here. Just like they didn't invent the GUI-and-mouse-based computer, or the MP3 player. Or how Henry Ford didn't invent the car. But they made them popular and easy to use. Great tech goes nowhere if nobody uses it. iCloud, like it or not, is going to be huge. How…

Hahaha, you are correct. Well done.

True on the web apps — much better than Microsoft Office. But syncing music and photos (which are probably the two most important things people want synced) sucks to set up on Android, and the average user has no idea how to do it. And you're right about Apple's walled garden, but it's a pretty big garden with…

Apple is rolling in cash because they don't put things out that only techies can understand. That's the mistake many, many other companies make; they think "morons" make up only a small portion of their potential consumers. When, in fact, it's a vast majority. So Apple puts out devices and services that techies can…

Exactly. It's like Ford and the car — he didn't invent it, but he made one that was easy to operate and was reliable — an intuitive, slick package. Who invented the car? Who knows. But Ford brought it to the masses and is a household name for it.

Agreed, and that's pretty much the point of the article — "computers" will someday just be portals to cloud servers capable of doing amazing things, like what OnLive does now.

Why? What do you think they would do with it?

"Anyone with an Android phone has had cloud access for quite some time, without even really realizing it."

Why take it so personally? Yes, cloud computing has been around for a while, but this is its first implementation in the most popular mobile phone and most popular tablet, and since it's stupid easy to use and fairly wide-reaching in what it can back up and sync, people will use it. Half-baked, you say? Good! …

Have you ever seen a non-techie (i.e. >95% of the rest of the world) try using some of Google's cloud services?

Yes, true, but iCloud is the first attempt at it that makes it stupid easy, so people will actually use it. It's like the car — Ford didn't invent it, but he made one that ran well and was easy to operate. Making an Android phone back up everything is not easy (and impossible for certain things), certainly nowhere…

Thank you Jesus, that was beautiful. I'd be lying to say that didn't make me tear up a little. RIP Steve, you will be missed more than we could possibly fathom.

Like Apple or not, Jobs is still the best product presenter I've ever seen. He's just such a natural, and captivates an audience like none other. Nobody holds a candle to him, at least not yet.

I don't get the fear of the government looking at my texting usage from two years ago. As is the case for a vast majority of people, my text and call history is completely unremarkable. What could the government do with the knowledge that I called my grandparents for 23 minutes on July 2nd last year? Why would they…

Most of the people I know use Bada, it won't be a huge help to me...
