iPhone Killers Killing Each Other


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? This is the case with iPhone and Apple's so-called iOS devices.

After so much bickering at work, and in my personal life about Apple vs others, I had decided to stop sounding like a fanatic. However something happened yesterday and I could keep my silence no longer.

I and a colleague tested two smart-phones yesterday one of them on Windows mobile and the other on Android with a multi-touch screen, just to open an e-mail message, click the link on the message and then write some comments on the page where the link would take me.

Such a simple task would take less than one minute on the iPhone, but it took 10 and 5 minutes on the Windows mobile and Android devices respectively to perform exactly the same task described above.

Because on the Windows mobile device the navigation was a real pain and the user interface so confusing that we mistakenly quit the mail client (Outlook mobile) 4-5 times while struggling to receive and locate the mail message.

On Android, which I'm normally fond of, the multi-touch gestures were usually mis-interpreted and navigation was a total struggle to do anything - not even close to the ease of use and the accuracy of iPhones without gyro.

So good luck iPhone killers in your quest to bash iPhone and not each other.

High Valuations and Potential Corrections: Precautions for Global Investors in NYSE and NASDAQ

he New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ are key investment hubs not only for American investors but also for those from Canada, Britain, Europe, and Australia. However, given the current economic signals—specifically the Buffett Indicator which suggests extreme overvaluation at a 193% ratio—investors worldwide should exercise caution. This gauge compares the total market capitalization of publicly traded stocks to the gross domestic product (GDP), and a reading near 200% indicates potential overvaluation which could lead to significant market corrections. Understanding the Current Market Environment The Buffett Indicator, a measure devised by Warren Buffett, assesses whether the stock market is fairly valued relative to the economic output. A ratio of 100% is seen as fair, but the current 193% suggests that the market is potentially overheated. This scenario resembles past conditions, like those in late 2021 when the...

Neon Desolation: A CyberPunk Short Story

In the city of Neo-Babylon, year 2073, rain seemingly never stopped. Metallic droplets clattered on chrome roofs, a ceaseless symphony of the future. Neon lights punctured the gloom, reflecting off slick streets and towering monoliths of steel and glass. Amid this panorama of progress, countless digital billboards flashed images of prosperity and satisfaction. But beneath the glossy surface, shadows crept. Our protagonist, Jack, was an echo runner. A professional data thief, wired to the teeth with the latest sub-dermal implants. He carried secrets from one end of the city to the other, an encrypted courier in an age where trust was as scarce as clean air.
