And you look like an ass asserting Apple is ahead in terms of 'outside phone design'. You can't refute anything said in the vid so you hide behind profit. Yawn!

There's no difference than many other companies who take inventions of others and meld them together and take it to a higher level and useful product for society to use. IBM comes to mind as well, they have taken inventions by the little guy and put their name on it and incorporate it into their final product. What's your point anyway? Apple has made significant contributions to society with their products, regardless if inventions came from others.

Really?

Let's see... People now take photos of what they're about to eat to post online and brag to mostly strangers about it..

People walk around with their faces stuck into their itoys..

People use texting to replace talking to each other face to face..

People take stupid 'selfies' all day cause having that option on their phone makes them full of themselves..

Shall i go on?

People who criticize Apple for not inventing anything either have never run a business and/or never created a product. Those types of people think that everything is about great ideas and pay no thought to execution. To me Ideas are a dime a dozen and execution is worth it's weight in gold. I only use Apple products if I absolutely need to use them, aside from that I stick with Android and Windows, so I am not an Apple fanboy but I greatly respect Apple's ability to execute everything to perfection. Before Apple, I accepted that as technology got more complex that it would necessarily mean that the user experience would also get more complicated. I design electronics, before I used the iphone I used to have huge manuals for my product because I thought the right way was to give customers access to all the dials and switches, now most of my products have a 1 page manual.

I don't see haw an iphone can have a baring on your manuals having more than one pg or not when most are online anyway. Then i assume you're talking about going online with your phone to look at them, but once you have a laptop or computer the phone is not needed.

From what I remember when I got my iphone and ipod, there was barely a manual in the box. Apple designed the user interface to be intuitive and hid all the underlying dials and switches from the consumer, many argue that Apple goes too far by hiding too much, but given it's huge success; most agree that Apple did the correct thing.

I don't think you are exactly describing an Apple phenomenon.

I was pointing out what pathetic behaviors from people their devices have encouraged.

Such as...



My opening post stands and OTB has no retort so he will resort to tossing the 'Troll' word at me or bringing up some stupid graph highlighting profit. He loses in every thread.

While agree with a lot of your statements, I have patents and been involved with new product design & implementation for most of my career yet I criticize Apple for stealing most of their technology. I'm old enough to actually see the original technology that Jobs later indicated he invented. I do give full marks to Apple's implementation and marketing of existing / new technology - in the years Job was there - their reliability was extremely good. Their history of late - not so good.

Hence what I've been saying over 1yr here and fanbois ignore.. That Jobs was only good at Marketing while the tech guys in the background (Such as Ive/Woz etc..) should be getting all the tech credit.

Ha! Now they are using patents to claim what Microsoft has already done with Kinect... :rolleyes: Sometime down the road when they actually release a product that uses the tech fanbois will once again foolishly think their fave company did it first.

What idiots.. I'm calling it now.
Like you called a $4b Apple Market Cap? ($637b today)

They acquired the firm that did it for M$.... Happens all the time (think Facebook and Oculus)

Sheesh.. I'll reword my last statement then to make you happy... "You always run behind anything that has to do with how much money/or bank the company has."

Happy? You're STILL are avoiding the topic like I've said anyway so fuck off.

You missed again, Market Capitalization is not a measure of either profit or "bank", you really are an idiot.

What topic, Apple has many patents, they've invented quite a bit of technology - its a silly and childish paper tiger you hold up.
