    You read the first article and figured that site was worth checking out?
    Actually, I figured it was an Android site. But it turns out they just have a bit of everything in there.

    Yeah, the camera argument is re ed. Don't Android phones have that too? Not confusing there?

    You can turn off syncing various types of content/files to iCloud....so that solves that problem. If you don't want your videos to be synced...disable it.

    The rest of those arguments, people have already addressed.

    People can try to find problems with anything, but these are really just stretching to hate for hater's sake. (Ironic, considering the source here.)

    sorry don't answer personal questions in the internet.

    back on topic:

    http://celljee.com/iphone-ios-5-suck...valid-reasons/

    iPhone iOS 5 Sucks And We Have Valid Reasons

    iMessage – We already have such apps
    iMessage feature won the battle for being “numero uno” feature is just a gimmick. Through the feature an iOS 5 user can send free messages to other users. The feature is already provided by many IM apps and just like Facetime you will find it sitting on your iPhone and eating a lot of memory. Luckily iOS 4.3 users are shielded from this poor feature.

    Name is iCloud not James Bond
    iCloud closely comes in after iMessage in being a useless feature of iOS 5. The feature aims at wirelessly synching up data and apps on all iOS held devices. There could be instances where you won’t want data to be viewed on all iOS devices held by a user but one. This could leak out sensitive user information if it is stored on iCloud. Currently, you can delete a private video from your iPhone but imagine with iCloud the MMS is saved in the cloud waiting to reveal your dark side.

    Camera on Lock Screen – Confusion Oriented
    Users are bound to get confused with this feature on iOS 5. You might end up placing taps on camera in pre-text of hitting the lock/unlock swipes.

    No Flash Support
    The web world has not become Apple friendly even after Apple realigned from Flash support in 2009-10. Their OS and products do not identify Flash at all.
    If you think that the above mentioned reasons are not valid then you can give your own opinion, but we really don’t care.
    That's a pretty weak group of reasons. iOS 5 seems to be solid AFAIK. We'll see how it fares over time.

    I have to credit the Iphone 4s for something. It made me realize some features that my phone had that I didn't know.

    Siri for example. I knew that the google voice search had been doing this for at least a year before the announcement of the 4s, and stated this. However, as others have made the same claim, they got specific about what exactly google voice search could do. Now I use it far more than I did before. (Set alarm at 8:15, etc.) I won't use it to check weather, since I have a widget on my home screen which shows it to me, but its cool to know that I can.

    Thank you Iphone 4s for giving me a greater understanding of all of the features that my android phone has had and I didn't even know.

    Yeah, but I already ran into an unintended consequence. I took a screen shot of a porn that I played on my phone because my friend was ing about something so I sent it to him to make him feel better. Also, there might be a chance his wife might see it and well, fun for us, but not for him.

    Thing is, I had my phone charging when I did it, so it automatically backed up to my photo stream. I had to turn off iCloud for photos and have it erase everything from the servers, then erase off my phone and then turn it back on.

    I don't mind it when people think I'm a perv, but I don't want just anyone to KNOW I'm a perv, and I don't want evidence backing up on servers halfway across the country. I'm sure it's still there in some form, but it's not as easily accessible now.

    Call it a lesson learned.

    iCloud is really convenient, imo.

    Siri has been pretty entertaining. Asking it things like the meaning of life and what-not to see what she responds with has been pretty funny. It hasn't been too consistent, but when it works it's pretty spot on. It's a beta, so I'm not surprised. It'll prove to be very useful.

    You can set it not to backup your Camera roll. I basically only enabled do ents and app data.

    Yeah, but it's very easy to forget that it's on, and if you're ing around with a friend in the same manner I was, it can come back to bite you in the ass if you're not careful. Also, did the special characters get added to the general keyboard by holding say the letter "e" or has that always been the case and I'm the moron who just figured that out?

    It's been there from the get go... another keyboard trick is that if you need to just enter one number or symbol, tap and hold on the '123' key to switch to numeric, then drag your finger to the number/character you want to enter. Once you release, you'll be back in the regular text keyboard.

    One, I don't text much, and two, when I do, I tend to do so pretty quickly so doing the tricks I've just learned never even occurred to me because I go through my texts pretty quickly.

    tbh, I never text. Just stuff I either found out or other people told me.

    Cause and Effect? Financial Times Ditches the App Store, Digital Subs Increase



    no 30% for you!

    http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/...subs-increase/

    The Financial Times reports that it now has 250,000 digital subscribers — up 30 percent from a year ago. For about five of those 12 months, the FT has not been in the App Store, ditching the shop window of Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod eco-system and going it alone via mobile Safari with an mobile-optimized HTML5 web app.

    Coincidence?

    Maybe, or maybe it’s just that the FT is one of those media outlets which really is a must-read for a significant demographic with money to happily spend (or be spent on). Of the quarter-million subscriptions, the FT says in a release, ”100,000 are corporate subscriptions coming from over 2,000 different licences.”

    jailbreaking your pc

    Apple now requiring Mac App Store applications to be sandboxed by March 2012

    http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/04/a...e-sandboxed-b/

    Apple's already made OS X more like iOS in more ways than one, and it looks like it will soon be taking another step in that direction. As of March 1st, 2012, Apple will require all apps available in the Mac App Store to be "sandboxed," which Apple says is "a great way to protect systems and users by limiting the resources apps can access and making it more difficult for malicious software to compromise users' systems." The other side of that coin is that by limiting access to said system resources, applications are also more limited in what they can do, which has left some developers facing a tough decision: either comply and get in the App Store, or go it alone. They will be able to request access to some resources, but they'll have to provide a justification for it to Apple as part of the submission process. As TUAW notes, however, this isn't a completely new development -- Apple had actually intended to implement the requirement this month, but it's apparently decided to give devs a bit more time to get used to it.
