How Gizmodo promotes Galaxy Note... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Have anyone seen how Gizmodo "promotes" Note? :
Some frustrated iPhone owner...? How unprofessional..
As others cleared out what the purpose of Gizmodo article (about how GNote users are naive and stupid) is, I decided to remove the link. Sorry for the fuss...

Linkbait. Don't click and don't feed the trolls. Applies for Gizmodo in general though.

and why is that...?

What a waste of bandwidth this article is.

edit out the link.. they just want clicks to draw 5miljon note users to their site.
the more ppl that goes into their site = more money.
but a very strange "open letter" - article.
But i guess you cant stop ppl from not getting the idea of the note.

for me, the article writer is just pure and plainly flame baiting....
why? maybe to attract more readers (and flame baiters) to go their side...
it's just really a waste of time (on my part), contributing to such inane and preposterous remarks on the part of the writer...
I'd rather just go on with my day and use my Note as what I would like it to be...
Different strokes for different folks...

Yawns...

Who cares about this wanna-be-fancy site anyway ? Remember, that's Gizmodo - they publish articles like "5 Reasons why the iPhone sucks" etc.
I don't care if the iPhone actually sucks or not - but that's not how you run a tech-news site...

Must See!!! Amazing!!!!

My friends sisters cousins boyfriends dog sitter just got back from the swampy region in Antartica, and you'll never guess what he brought back! A 15 inch widescreen iPhone which runs windows mobile! Other than that, it quad boots from those two monsters, to run the psp platform, linux, windowsVista, and atari! PLUS THATS NOT ALL!!! Its powered by a hampster in a wheel which come with a custom water bottle (for more SPEED)!!! And just when I thought it couldnt get any better, THERE WAS MORE!!!! When you hit the red button located on the atari screen, your able to use it as a can opener, screw driver, and hair drier! Plus we just downloaded a freeware program which unlocked the MICROWAVE & TOASTER OVEN FUNCTION! This thing is also equipped wth 22 inch Giovani spinners and two kenwood 12inch subs. Its also a good babysitter for those long nights out! Im no tech, but Ill post pics in 3564 years! Keep asking thou, I may do it tomorrow when I get off work from the multi million dollar company I own called Microsoft! By the way Can some one please tell me how to get coverflow to work with s2p while still having the artists listed as seperat folders?
I fig Id get a few hundred replies this way! Fu** you t.kilgore86, phillips_tech, and TechRev! I hope you all got to iPhone he** and steve jobs rapes you apple style! Sorry for the bluntness fellows!
What the heck is the point of this thread? You've posted pretty much the same thing in other threads and yet decide that it was important and funny enough to make a new thread, I disagree. You are spamming the forum just as much as the people you listed.
Stop spamming our forums and don't post on here again.
Apparently the full might of the Mod needs to be exercised.
No kiddn'

Why not ban them all? That would solve it!

Sorry, but I have to laugh! I thought it was witty
See the point
Im not disagreeing with the mods. This guy should have been banned. But I dont disagree with vogue_trip either. I mean look at it. This guy made up a post that everyone knew was fake. Apparently used three screen names to do it, and its still not closed. Its pulled alot of time away from peoples threads that were serious. XDA is by far the best sight around. Anyone with a PPC comes here for every answer there is. The guy who started all of this is a joke and in my opinion doesnt deserve the benefits from this amazing sight. I noticed he was doing similar things @ ppcgeeks as well. So I dont disagree with this guys frustration but h went about it all wrong. So Im sticking with my opinion, 2 posts or a milliion. They all need ban. They dont deserve the excellent services on this site.

Of course it does. The EVO has flash and um, um, well that's really the only connection I see here.
Actually there are more connections when you really think about it. These devices run on batteries. They have memory. There considered electronics. I can go on and on......
You see, when you use your imagination you can come up with so many things that link this to the EVO!
I am going to go and start another thread here comparing 3d TV's. Imagine all the relationships to the EVO there!

whatever guys...im showing you a big innnovation for apple, them getting a way of flash, something that us android guys have had over them for a while...all i said is i think its cool, a little late but cool, but its still not better than android because if i read correctly it has to reroute the videos into a format i devices can read...some of you need to relax and open a notch on your belt,real talk
and btw how is this not related to us? We have had flash for a while and has been a main selling point on commercials! if you listen to advertisements you can hear it yourself, some of you really need to calm down

I come here to read about the evo and android, not what's going on with the iphone.
You are missing the point everyone is trying to make. You are clogging the general section with garbage that really has nothing to do with the evo. There is an off topic section that is accessible from the main forum (I believe that's where it is). I think your threads would be more appropriate there.

+1 all you do is link us to phandroid or engadget or some other android/tech blog. Some of us already frequent these sites and see this information and the rest of us don't go to those sites for a reason.

Innovation?? More like a need. Apple decided to take off flash favoring HTML5, unfortunately a very significant amount of websites still use flash and there is no incentive to make the switch to the new format. I guess Jobs got pissed that he could not access many websites that were flash enabled and decided that it was needed to put it back. There no innovation on this.
and btw how is this not related to us? We have had flash for a while and has been a main selling point on commercials! if you listen to advertisements you can hear it yourself, some of you really need to calm down

I won't agree on this. As stated by myself and others: we see these already. If they are not "HTC Evo 4g" related they do not belong here. Even if they are related they are not necessary. It is nice to get a discussion going from time to time but it makes it really hard to sift for ACTUAL news when you post so much of this stuff.

Please vote for Samsung SII over IPhone in this newspaper article

Hi folks,
There is an article about the upcoming iphone 5 in a UK newspaper:
www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2033976/Could-Apples-iPhone-5-slated-launch-October-21.html
All the comments are from apple fanboys, and their are two comments praising the Samsung Galaxy S2 bu they have been red-arrowed (people voting the comment down). Could you please help stick up for the Samsung and green-arrow those comments? You dont need to register, just press the green arrow next to the Samsung Galaxy comments - thanks!

Lol. Man, after our recent discussion on another thread I find myself totally agreeing with you here.
I personally couldn't care less what some rag says about my phone, especially when comparing it to another one (whatever it may be). I like my phone. That's all I'm bothered about!
Some funny comments left on that page though.

If people that insecure that they need to argue over whose phone is better in an online newspaper article, then they need to find something better to do with their time.
Apple fanboys are probably the most rabid of all fanboys. It's like trying to convince a Christian that there is no God.

How do we make this forum better?

Ok, guys. I have not been a user of the Fascinate forum for very long now, but coming from the Droid X section, I have to be honest in saying that this forum needs some help.
That being said, I do know that there aren't a lot of Fascinate owners, especially on this site. Its just sad that I can go and sometimes need to go over to the Captivate forums to get answers. Sad panda.
I would like to get every ones opinion on how to make this forum better, and once the ideas are put into one place, go ahead and have them implemented.
No excuses fellas. Lets make this forum better for all of us!
Thanks in advance!
This may be more directed to a mod than you, but if we keep ONE thread specifically for a lulz thread where we can troll and stuff would be great. Also issue infractions if we troll other threads. I love trolling but there's plenty of times where trolling is unnecessary and possibly hurtful. With all the lulz around that ONE thread would stay busy, while not cluttering up potentially important threads.
/steps off soapbox
More than one troll thread will be necessary to allow for anyone who wants to start one. But if you want to start one use a header like [Troll] or make the title so obvious no one can miss it. Also, confine to the General or Q&A section. Keep it clean, free of excessive profanity and vulgar sexual references, and flagrantly abusive posts.
Edit: I also visit the Captivate forum for answers, but that's because I still have a Captivate, though it's deactivated (wifi only )

Does that really help the problem or just hide it in the basement.

It hides it in the basement. What some of us are really looking for is lulz threads. What we often get, though, is lulz threads that degenerate into nastiness and get closed, leaving us with one less lulz thread.

Find a like-minded individual with A LOT of spare time to moderate. We could be trend setters for the entire XDA community.

Just wondering why is it called lulz, what does it stand for why not call it hating or something else just wondering...

Wait, what? How can you even begin to justify this statement? The Woz is a co-founder of Apple and probably holds more patents himself than you can shake a stick at. If that guy doesn't know what he is talking about, no one does.

From the article: "If you're shocked to see such a senior figure at Apple blurt out such an anti-Apple opinion..."
Actually, Wozniak hasn't been an employee in any normal sense at Apple for a long time. He does hold a significant number of shares of course.
That aside, I have to say, that article kind of raised my opinions abuot Woz. I knew he was a fan of Android - but it's good to see him come right out and say what needs to be said.
