big deal

depending on who replaces him I'd say it could bring the demise of apple.
or they could get better....
but im going to say most likely the demise of apple. I wonder how much their stock is going to drop

Huzzah!!

ummm...shouldn't that read "retires"? He's not a healthy guy, as is well known.
This will mean less than nothing in terms of their day to day biz. It's still his company. I have my issues with them but objectively speaking there's a lot to admire about him and Apple. (No, I don't and won't own their products, but I don't have to be a tribalist either.)

Considering, they can't get any worse IMHO. You want to touch that icon? Oh, there's a charge for that. You want, this to work? Ya, there's a charge for that too. ROFL!!!
And whats this, its a rectangular shape? LAWSUIT!! A Windows original icon borrowed by crApple? LAWSUIT!!
Sorry, crApple sucks, I hope it is their demise.

and I thought he died

Yes I agree. The whole death scenerio entered my head at first.
I wonder how the stock will perform in the next few weeks ?

iPhone gets flash now, Steve jumps off a cliff.

honestly, I hope apple can keep up the momentum he started. If iphone didn't start the trend, we may never have gotten android, and if the 2 didn't keep trying to 1up eachother, android wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Competition drives innovation. I wish apple luck... if only to keep a fire lit under google's ass

Seems Samsung is paying close attention. Apparently they approached supercurio a little while back and we may actually see voodoo enhancement native on Samsung devices in the future.

Well we don't have to worry about the up and coming next gen phones from Moto being as google now owns/will soon own Moto. I can hardly see google blaming google or a google partner
This is awesome how Samsung is getting all buddy-buddy with the community. Only going to make their phones that much better. I do wonder how much or what exactly he will be doing there, though.
I can see it now, Samsung Custom ROM portal.
Take your unlocked phone and install our official Custom ROMS do not void warranty!
LOL @ guys saying CM is gonna leak out the sources for Sam-phones
LOLOLOLO
its against their contract and yeah... they'd suspect him first.

Why oh Why Samsung!

READ THIS
Cause they is inept.......Plain and simples!
They have THE best phone currently available in the market (SGS2), one of the best tablets (10.1) and about to have the mutha of ALL phones (Galaxy Nexus), SO you have to ask yourself a question about the motivation of a company who seems to be hell-bent on cementing their place in the market as a rip-off merchant.
At least Apple try and pretend to have come up with an idea (by preaching out the usual "innovate" subliminal dictorate) BEFORE launching their attack dogs. Sammy just blatantly highlight>copy>paste>plagiarise and HOPE that no-one else in the world has eyes, sense, access to a computer or quite simply the nous to notice what they have done.
What is the Korean for "IDIOTS"?
Rofl, thats hilarious!
This is ingenious, i think we're not giving them enough credit. Now when apple sues them they can say "clearly our products are different enough for anyone to spot the difference" and cases get thrown out of court. Or maybe their just stupid as fk, who knows.
Well a few years back, wasn't it just norm, to copy paste publish what ever they wanted. Like the pirates they are.?
I am not surprised, seems they need to engage a USA firm of Americans who know the difference, and can setup a good thing.
Boss: Can we have a picture of Google maps running on the Galaxy Player 5.0 please.
Marketing firm: Sure no probs, a quick google search later and 'shop out the Apple bar and nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Boss: Thanks

Not a Goodbye thread

So I got a Epic Touch for a reasonable price that should be arriving tomorrow. Not getting rid of my Epic, but it won't be on a line. I'll be happy to test anything for people. Please feel free to contact me. I'll be lurking and helping here still. Not to fear.
Let us know how it is going from epic's QWERTY to no-keyboard.
The keyboard options for new phones are sparse and not terribly viable (droid 4's display, bootloader, etc).
It will soon be time for all of us to move on, and life in the non-qwerty world seems daunting!

Omg when my sister upgraded to the 4S on att I played with it for a bit and she got a text and I saw a little symbol in the "notification bar" uptop and habitually swiped down and forgot I was on an iphone lmfao I was like "O.O and they sue google partners over **** that people can't even see?"
I wish we had "technology courts" or something that will have judges who specialize in electronics and will actually know when a company is suing, that company also has parts blatantly stolen from "company b".
One thing I admire about apple is their control over the sheeple. Its so amazing!

has everyone read the article on here about xda focusing they're attention to the iphone development? WOW.

I also agree that iOS is superior because the features are so unique and it is much more customisable with a variety of devices.

so would you say that xda is going to slowly move away from android os and start strictly focusing on ios?
i have to say that the smart thing to try out for trial and error purposes is, to come out with a phone that can switch between ios and android. just like the mac can also run windows.
