He's not picky. Any thread'll do.

If you look at page 1, post 1 of this very thread you'll see it was tried before. But it got ruined with the usual anti-apple crap, which just fuels the either-side trolls.

So, no.

Ab · 2nd September 2012, 15:37

These days I don't even really care about SMS or Bluetooth.

CCS · 2nd September 2012, 16:45

Widgets is pretty good. p01s0n wouldn't know.

p01s0n · 2nd September 2012, 16:56

as an ex-winmobile rom phaggot i can confirm that widgets are in fact, gay as shit

CCS · 2nd September 2012, 17:01

Win-mo maybe. I'm talking about Android widgets. I'm using a total of 1 widgets and they're awesome.

p01s0n · 2nd September 2012, 17:03

which widget is that?
the giant skeuomorphic folding clock? the one that clouds up your display with clouds when it's overcast?

CCS · 2nd September 2012, 22:51

It's the Stab p01s0n In His Stupid Face widget. It's always there on the home screen and I can stab p01s0n's face any time.

p01s0n · 2nd September 2012, 22:52

oh ok, i hope its licensed
edit: the pirated version turns into an RSS for rinse posts

So, no.

Oh yeah, let's not try again. God forbid that those capable of ignoring the idiot fanboys actually get a thread dedicated to their own device.

Dumb.

haha that post was dripping with sarcasm
i still hate texting on a touch screen but at least it has got rid of my text speak
swype for the lasy win

Odysseus · 3rd September 2012, 12:02

I've got a mac-book air, an iPad, an iPod and a blackberry (read mild apple fanboi). I hate the shit out of the BB and all its faggotry except for one thing - its raised-button qwerty, which I think is just dandy. I like apple crap but I don't think I'd be able to switch to my main messaging device without a raised button device....shame cause I'd been jerking off with anticipation for the IP5 for ages until I realised I would regret buying it.

Thanks for listening

Here’s how Samsung flew bloggers halfway around the world, then threatened to leave them there

It's almost like there's no such thing as a free lunch... someone better tell the blogosphere.

You should probably read the article more carefully.

Cyberbob · 3rd September 2012, 14:24

For the TL;DR crowd:

Samsung invited bloggers to a trade show, expenses paid.
Bloggers got to decide whether or not they were going to be there in a reporting or a prompting capacity.
Samsung had absolutely no problems with bloggers signing up to be a reporter, rather than a promoter
Upon arrival, bloggers are told to promote Samsung wholeheartedly (Fitted for Samsung uniforms, told never to leave Samsung booths) or face cancelled international flights home and getting kicked out of the hotel.
Bloggers think WTF and push back.
Samsung cancels their flights and hotel bookings
NZGamers complain that the bloggers shouldn't have expected a free lunch

Deadmeat · 3rd September 2012, 15:02

Sounds like somewhere along the way some admin probably messed up their entry and put them down as a promoter by mistake, onsite staff then thought they were trying to back out.

Still shitty but.

crocos · 3rd September 2012, 15:08

Looks like Samsung Korea has a bit of a history of this; they really don't understand western culture. Lesson for bloggers seems to be, if Samsung's Korean team (ie, head office) invites you to anything, politely decline.

The S3 is nice (nicest Galaxy yet, by a long way), if enormous. I really don't like using Android though.

Phantom · 3rd September 2012, 17:46

My Samsung TV is pretty nice.

p01s0n · 3rd September 2012, 17:47

i wonder what tv steve jobes had

Ab · 3rd September 2012, 18:00

I'm sure Samsung founder Stefan Jobes had the Samsung Application Television - often abbreviated to simply "ApplTV".
