It’s “dead to me” not for…

Watch Shark Tank, you’ll get it, eventually.

That CNET full review page has been hacked. Even if you go to the CNET page and click on the headline, you get a page of gibberish.

CNUTJOB almost did a good review. I guess he was afraid of the Freeloaders/Android and iHaters revolting and leaving their hit whoring site. lol

Or more succinctly, 2.32x *as fast* is 132% faster.

2.3 times faster is 230% faster.

1.32 times faster is 132%

If I was wrong, don’t you think I’d know it.

Actually, no. 2.3x the speed is 1.3x faster which is 232% of the speed or 132% fatser.

One of the top 3 designed phones…. The other two – iPhone 4/s and 3GS

One of the top 3? Yes. One of the top 1? Yes.

“something with gee-whiz bells and whistles” Apple doesn’t go for ‘first’, they go for ‘best’. What good do “bells and whistles” when they’re poorly implemented and/or supported?

Remember before the iPhone 4 came out, several smartphones had front-facing cameras that were useless and people had to wait for 3rd parties to develop software to take advantage of them. In contrast, Apple shipped the iPhone 4 as a complete solution and allowing video calls between iPhones, Macs, iPods and iPads.

Actually, it is. (To be exact, 2.32 times faster is 132% faster.)

Only four stars of five?
Then they have to rate other smartphones three stars.

2.3 times faster is not 132% faster.
