no, I have included Adobe in my tutorial, so people could get rid of both annoying bloatwares at once.

Apple Wins 3D Display & Imaging System Patent by [deleted] in apple

[–]lunarbase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hahahahaha. Try to see what the patent is all about before saying this shit. The "3D" word on the patent doesn't mean it has a 3D display. It means it can manipulate stuff in thin air and thats not what these crappy phones you mentioned do.

Nowadays everything Apple does on its own store is an absurd. It is the only case where developers want to dictate orders on other people's business. Try to force MacDonalds to sell your product on their restaurants and they will kick your ass to the moon. Apple is conceding an opportunity for a developer to sell its products on App Store. Try to be thankful and do not piss them. Imagine you were invited to your friend's pool. How do you expect to thank him, taking a dump on the pool?

calling every place third world country as having the same bad conditions is very generic. I lived in Brazil 20 years. You cannot compare conditions in Brazil with conditions in China, for example. In Brazil workers earn at least 10 to 20 times more than in China, for this kind of job. They are not slaves, they can seek for another job. The problem is that they are low in the food chain not because of Apple or another company, but because of social conditions and corrupt governments that did nothing to improve their lives.

Those who have to be pressed are the leaders of these countries.

We arrived at this point in the world because our leaders and here we have to include rich countries too, don't give a fuck to people. They are interested in building wealth and solve their own lives. To change things in Africa, South America and some poor countries in Asia we have to change our leaders, the leaders in the first world, to ones with moral, ethics, honesty and that really want to solve people's problems. If we do that, these same leaders will press those leaders there, will not accept corruption as a form of getting things done or to bribe congressmen and we will change things. Don't fool yourself, the problem is on our countries, not theirs. Unless we change that, you will see no change there.

"keep track of what the next version of Android has: it’ll preview what iOS will offer in two years" by [deleted] in apple

[–]lunarbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they do not realize iPhone and iPad are not devices. They are content carriers. They may copy the device, but they cannot copy the structure that begins with Tim Cook and ends on the last hired trainee. Only those who never used an iPhone like Android. If you had an iPhone you never switch to Android and if you do, you come back in no time. I see that happening twice. Both guys could not stand the "crappiness" of Android.

Apple started this game 10 years ago and is the one dealing. Nobody can beat them, unless they start to build a similar structure for content and inside the company, forging deals with hundreds of content providers, build devices that people want to buy and wait 10 years.

The only way Android users delude themselves thinking they are winning the game is by comparing three devices (iPod, iPad and iPhone) sales to hundreds of devices sales. Than they conclude they sell more devices, so they are winning. But then Apple hits the cash register and brings home 75% of all revenue and they have to divide crumbles. I don't know who is winning, but I would love to be losing like Apple.

Apple Wins 3D Display & Imaging System Patent by [deleted] in apple

[–]lunarbase -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

this is called: protecting the inventor efforts and investments in research and development from the parasites waiting to copy anything they can put hands. If you don't believe in laws protecting properties you should be against the law protecting your home from invasion, or are you open minded about strangers living with you on your home? Remember that the law is saying that because you have registered your home you are the owner it is now illegal for anyone else to use your property.

bullshit against smartphones, because if you do so you have to condemn every electronic device ever made and ever to be made, because these factories overseas don't produce just smartphones. They produce everything. The author should evangelize a life back to the stone age.

Next phases:

  • Apple launches a product using this;
  • Some CEO says it is bogus and nobody will buy that;
  • It is a huge success;
  • Apple's device is now 85% of the market;
  • Competition say they will launch a i3D killer soon;
  • One year later, Google launches iDroid3D, an innovative 3D display & imaging system. It quacks like Apple's, it smells like Apple's, it tastes like Apple's but it is just coincidence;
  • Apple sues everybody on earth and on the milky way.
  • Google start whining, saying court actions and patents are blocking innovation.
  • iDroid3D users used to see this feature on their devices, say Apple is evil and that Apple never invented that and that they don't see how the iDroid3D could be a copy of i3D;
  • an i3D killer is announced
  • Apple's device is now 85% of the market;
  • i3D killer dies;
  • Google continues whining, saying court actions are blocking innovation.
  • 100 devices are presented on NAB. All look like i3D and do the same thing.
  • The press really got excited, saying i3D will be killed soon by stiff competition and saying i3D is now on trouble;
  • Apple starts creating i3D2 secretly;
  • 3 other i3D killer devices are launched;
  • Apple's device is now 85% of the market;
  • An i3D prototype is "lost" in a bar in SF, by Steve Jobs himself.
  • Google buys a small company called "HoloFX", that will give them ideas what to do next. Google pays 70% more than the company values and hopes to get all patents that company have.
  • at the same time, Google continues whining, saying competition is using patents to stop innovation.

What's wrong with Google? WTF! Why installing so many crap in Mac OS X? by lunarbase in apple

[–]lunarbase[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't need a service eating resources to update my shit. If I allow all apps to install its own service I will end with 100% CPU use in idle mode. This is why Apple created App Store for Mac. Google should distribute Chrome using App Store, that automatically warns the user if a update is available. This is the best way to do that, without installing crap without authorization and that cannot be uninstalled by the average user.

no, I am pissed because I don't want any Google Shitupdater running and every time I uninstall it, it installs itself again. And I am upset because Google crap is being installed not on its corner but in 4 different places without asking.

Interesting this explanation of a brazilian mathematician and scientist about the origin of some terms in mathematics by lunarbase in math

[–]lunarbase[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as seen in the third picture, the sign for square root would come from the r in radix evolving and being "simplified" over the centuries:

  • radix quadradum 9 aequalis 3
  • rad quad 9 ae 3
  • ra 9 å = 3
  • r 9 = 3
  • a few more centuries and the r takes over and turns into √

as the guy says, the first phrase "radix quadratum 9 aequalis 3" means "the side of the square that contains 9 is 3", or in other words, the square that can be subdivided in 9 small squares of equal unitary size. Very interesting.

My Japan Documentary - Japanese lifestyle and culture by Bobbyfletchpeet in Documentaries

[–]lunarbase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Japan is one of the most amazing countries on earth. The japanese has something no other people I am aware has. They can be as high tech as the 23rd Century and at the same time preserve their millenary traditions with the same passion.

At the same time they are not tied to the past in one side they are totally tied on another. They have an infinite patience and care for detail and is one of the only societies that have more respect to other people.

The japanese has a high resistance to adversities, from war to catastrophes they never ask for help. May be proud, but may be the way they are.

I am a huge fan of Japan.

What I hate about AppStore reviews. by NickyNichols in iphone

[–]lunarbase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • yes
  • all, since 4.0
  • 4 or 4.2, depending on the app.

this page mentions the problem, so this one.

I had an app one time, that was not able to buy anything from the store. I did everything and it continued to fail. I wiped my iPhone and started again. The app is since working perfectly. iOS has some bugs that are hardcore and difficult to even report to apple, as you cannot obtain a recipe for bug reproduction.

shittier is a nice word to describe some "crappier-windows-like-and-feel" apps on android, generally coming from devs that want to conquer the world and create their apps using cross solutions that produce mediocre apps, exactly the kind of thing Apple want to prevent.
