Thread: Samsung LIES. New Galaxy Tab NOT thinner than iPad 2

I have, multiple times. And im not trying to prove its thinner than the Air, honestly i dont give a rats ass which is thinner. Their both thin! Their both light! If one device is 2 friggin' millimeters thinner i dont care! Samsung Series 9 is a great computer, just like the MacBook Air is. However, you cant seem to comprehend that someone other than apple is able to make a proper ultra thin laptop. Just like you cant comprehend Samsung being able to make a thinner tablet than the ipad.

The example I gave was Evernote.

Now you are talking about an individual app being made for the larger screen. I'm talking about the OS itself which is basically a clone of the ipod touch blown up. The majority of time on a tablet device for people will be spent in the web browser, os email app, and maybe the google maps apps. Thats where Android blows apple away in innovation. ios = last generation. Honeycomb and future dedicated tablet OS's = the future.

You responded to my posts over a series of about 3-4 posts, each with multiple post merges in them. You gotta sooth that anger, bro. Your posts are getting longer and longer. Thanks for providing me with morning entertainment though.

You read this crap and find it amusing? Real man of steel.

iPhoneuser is going for a record, longest post on ajarn with most "updates" merged into it. Just don't interrupt him and he might get ten updates in a row.

Its entertaining seeing someone who knows so little claim so much and then get angry about it. All of his posts consist of google'ed information, pictures from google image search, and videos from youtube. We should dig up those old posts about how traveling to mbk is superior to using torrents to download tv shows and movies.

I kind of want to see this. Next time I'll let him keep posting.

He said that?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That made my morning Time to eat breakfast! (Well, lunch for normal people, breakfast for people who wake's up late )

He said?? HAHA

Yeah, it was a long exchange but the thread name escapes me now. Something about mobile internet options to replace bad wifi in the apartment.

He knows a nice shop where he buys all his movies and TV shows once a week and he honestly thought that all local markets have the same selection and quality and so downloading torrents was out, buying pirated DVDs was in.

Found these old gems. jlsdfgb = sl4ve = iphoneuser

Also, you are forgetting you have unlimited WiFi access. Every mall I go to hasTRUE WiFi access. If you really want to download something big, go have a nice lunch where they have a true move spot and download away.

Anyone that sits there and wastes their data/bandwidth downloading crap when they are in Thailand! Is a fucking loser and an absolute moron. You can get anything you want here in Thailand. I got AVATAR just when it came out on the Theater. It was an official release that said "Don't distribute. Property of such and such pictures" at the beginning. So, it was a real master copy while it was here on the theater. Perfect DVD. I got it for $100 baht at the local Home Works.

There's a guy there that has everything. Yes, including whatever season of whatever series I want. But I have cable so I just watch them on TV.

You think I am going to spend my time downloading torrents? Yea right. It's fucking THAILAND! You can get anything for 100 baht.

Why do it when I can have someone else do it for me. I'd rather be out 100 baht than 1GB of my monthly 3G monthly allowance on something I can just pick up across the street.

Buying them is the way to go. This is Thailand, you can find these things anywhere.

It certainly hasn't stopped them from holding a market dominating position. The average consumer couldn't care less.

The "open" argument only matters to extremely hardcore geek/nerds of the Linux / open source persuasion. Everybody else doesn't care.

"Android code" - just the way you preface and describe it makes it more than obvious that I'm more qualified to evaluate it than you ever will be.

That's actually funny, *you* lecturing about courtesy - what's next, Baksiidaa lecturing on honesty?

Honeycomb code is available as part of the Android SDK, including a simulator, as well as code that could be recompiled for any other device.

This is all public knowledge, but most of all, it's very obviously discussed and made available at xda-developers, where various developers have already ported it to all kinds of devices.

Not that you'd understand any of that.

you're correct - part of the charm of reading your messages, albeit trep has you beat in the "knows so little" category.

Ok, this is where I know that Honeycomb's source code is not released to the general public yet

Google keeping Honeycomb source code on ice, says it's not ready for other devices -- Engadget

What is available on xda-developers forum exactly?

That blog contains a nice reference to "tablet only", too.

What do you smoke to charge into this anti-open crusade against Android?

You claim a lot for yourself - the ability to read and understand Android source code, the deep knowledge of how Honeycomb is not really a tablet version and so on. Can you demonstrate any knowledge on the subject at all?

Like symbols, Cthulhu likes to pretend that he has a vast knowledge of all things technical. We may not know random tidbits about certain apple products as well as him, but when it comes to technical knowledge, its easy to see from posts how little cthulhu and jlsdfgb actually know. No real surprise as the stereotypical apple user is normally one that knows very little and talks a whole lot.

I could, but it's pointless, so why bother - you and Baksiidaa will simply declare any statements of mine to be irrelevant, or will decide (based on your own vast expertise of ....nothing) that I am incorrect, and we would then be left exactly where we are now.

I prefer, at this stage, to just know that *I* know what I am talking about, while you and Baksiidaa continuously demonstrate to anyone paying attention that you don't have the faintest idea about any technical aspects or concepts. Honestly, to me at least, this isn't an audience popularity contest.

How is it "open" - just because Andy Rubin, who is on record to have bullshitted on several previous occasions, says so - despite that his actions contradict his statements?

Let's do this - how do you define "open"?

Finally, if by your own declaration, Google hasn't released Honeycomb code, then how is it really "open" ?

Ah, right, I forgot, the ability to read, as well as to conclude based on observations, eludes you. Here, let me help you:

Yes, please. (Honeycomb) - xda-developers

Let me take a stab at both your responses to this, okay:

B&T: "But these are not official releases, and hacks, so that doesn't count"
Ct: "yeah, but didn't you say that "it's open", and isn't that what "being open" is all about?"
B&T: "Lalalalalala.... we can't hear you ...... Lalalalalalala"
B: (sudden shift in subject to something unrelated) "...and iOS is a dinosaur, and you and symbols should get a room, or something"
T: (busy grooming his beard and talking to an imaginary girlfriend) "... and you haven't proven anything, and I'm busy living under a rock"

QED - see, Baksiidaa proves me right within seconds.

Congratulations on figuring out how to use google. You've now achieved equal status to that of jlsdfgb.

Congratulations on yet again evading giving an answer, everytime that you are proven wrong -- you have quickly evolved to be the King of Dishonesty.

I'm surprised - no diminutive digs? I'm disappointed.

Sadly for you, these are the threads on xda that I actively follow, but then again, anything that doesn't agree with you must be "googled".

As we have already established, a minimum of familiarity with Google would potentially save you from repeat embarassment of looking like a fool (*cough* four icons *cough*)

Again, ironically, Symbols is contributing far more, even if just Googled, than you and trep are. You're basically just another of these typical nerd bullies, always boasting about "the latest thing", never really getting anything done, and getting quite flustered when someone comes along that knows more than you, and thus endangering your perceived position on the top of the crap heap.

If this was a face to face conversation, this would be the point where I would invite you to go and frak yourself.
