yes, but then apple failed to gain even a single point against the android phones

truly a poor showing
yeah they actually got the exact same score as last year's 6 which means the new camera in the new phone is useless and they may as well just stuck with 8MP while saving more disk space, some other test shows there's a increase in resolution though so who knows


also lol

yeah that's actually wasn't the shadiness i was talking about but still lol to see

they publish lens scores based on resolution, but instead of using an optical bench and measuring transmission like MTF charts like every other lens manufactures have done ever, they do it with camera bodies and judge the resolution that way
which means that canon can make a million dollar 10-1000mm f/1.0 lens with perfect resolution, it will still score lower than nikon or sony lens that's tested with higher megapixel body

apple should make people buy apps like notes off the app store instead of giving them out for free with their phones. its not fair to little guys like vesper, just as microsoft bundling an app that plays music and video was not fair to some strawman european company somewhere making an mp3 player

if podcasts werent free, little guy marco wouldn't have had to make his overcast app free to compete. altogether, apple drives down costs, stifles innovation, and is anticompetitive! bad apple!

I just dropped half a grand on a glorified placemat and now I have to spend money to take notes??

they're doing the right bmthing by supplying poo poo apps with their product. apps that tap into hidden Apis that nothing else can

you can do that anywhere too if you use the zoom function without actually zooming but instead add a filter to make things darker and then make the triple tapping home key to 'zoom'

quote:

Speaking to more than a thousand Apple IT administrators was Fletcher Previn, vice president of Workplace-as-a-Service at IBM. Big Blue began offering employees the ability to use a Mac at work starting on June 1, and adoption has been a tremendous success.

Previn revealed that IBM is now deploying 1,900 Macs per week, and there are currently 130,000 iOS and Mac devices at use within the company. All of these devices are supported by just 24 help desk staff members.

Further, Previn revealed that just 5 percent of Mac users call IBM’s internal help desk for assistance, compared to 40 percent of PC users.

according to wiki, yes. kinda surprising since there's absolutely nothing special about it and it's not even in a particularly high-volume part of the mall.

apparently it and the glendale store opened the same day, but tyson's opened first due to time zones
