TechCrunch : A Raging, Rambling Debate About Antennagate, Followed By A Fanboy Intervention

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 08:46:11 +0000

I know I'll probably get Negative Intense Debate point, but this TechCrunch video is good. Michael Arrington was brilliant. I know most of you see him as a Bully or Bad Mouth person, but hey no one is perfect. :) I actually like Michael's no nonsense-get to the point guy..or like Mike would say, " Get to the F*cken Point" guy. Its good that we have people like Mike putting pressure on companies that mess up. People need to call out companies. Mike tells it like it is, he also calls out Evo for making a great Android phone....that you could only use for 1hour. His style is refreshing and he doesnt back down. You might not like his opinion or style(to many expletives), but you gotta love his honesty. Going back to the Apple Event today...think about it for a moment before you hit that Negative Thumbs down: 1. As a Tech person or iPhone 4 owner/Apple fan do you REALLY think anything was solved today at the Apple event? 2. Do you believe what was said at the event? 3. If AntennaGate was happening with the DroidX would you find it funny if the Motorola CEO replied to a customers email by saying "Your holding it wrong" instead of saying, Hey, we have a design flaw or we messed up by putting the Antenna around the iPhone 4. We all need to hold companies accountable if they create a product that does not work as it should. A phone is to make phone calls. Comparing AntennaGate with Toyotas issue is a little extreme, but Apple PR should be at Fault. They could of took the blame and used Mr. Jobs another way about the design flaw. Late today companies like Nokia and Rim blasted Apple for trying to bring their products down with their design flaw Antenna issue...pretty low move by Apple i think. Nokia and Rim have great products and Apple did not have to bring the in as well. Mr. Jobs rocks! I mean he IS Apple. He has so much Klout that even if he would of said, "We messed up and we're sorry to all Apple iPhone 4 users. That! would of looked better. The media still would of ripped Apple, but the Apple community would of forgave them and this topic would be mute sooner than later. Honesty would of helped a lot today..

TechCrunch : How I Think The iPhone 4 Antenna Press Conference Is Going To Play Out

:) Yup. That Evo vs. iPhone video is hilarious. What would be classic this Friday is if Steve Jobs gets up and says, "Im sorry, but the Antenna issue is going to get fixed and we're going to add "The Wifis" :)

Nexus One is great. Using the Droid Incredible for a few months now and I like it. Droid Verizon #1(keyboard one) was a little bulky. Im waiting to see how the next Droid(Verizon Droid 2) with a keyboard is in 30 days. Have you tried the Incredible Michael?

Other Manufacturers are going to counter for Google with all those New Android Phones and Tablets coming out this year....especially Dell with the Dell Streaks 5", 7", 10" Google is also going to try to get Android version 3.0 complete by the Holiday. This Holiday is going to be fun for Android: Dual Processor chips for Android Phones and more!

TechCrunch : Hitler. iPhone 4 Antenna. You Know The Drill

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:52:56 +0000

This is not looking good for Apple. The iPhone 4 issue with the Antenna needs to get fixed ASAP. I wonder if maybe that is why the white iPhone 4 was held back? Anyways, Mr. Jobs need to say something else, saying that all of us need to hold it differently is just so wrong. A free case should be a good start to calm down all the people having issues with the Antenna. Apple could come out of this looking good, but they are not doing it correctly or they knew about the issue before...if this was true...its going to enrage a lot of Apple users.

I agree Michael. They probably do have an iphone and are in denial(I have a few friends that always try to downplay their issues with ATT or iPhone)I think they might be Certified Apple Fanboys(Team MG). jk MG. :)

AndroidGuys : HTC EVO 4G and Droid Incredible Afflicted With Unresponsive Touchscreen?

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:45:26 +0000

Yes, I own a Droid Incredible and the screen at times doesnt respond. Hopefully HTC or Google can create a fix for that ASAP. Or maybe they should give us a free upgrade to another new phone like the Droid X? hehe I wish. :) It happens about once or twice a week....I usually hit the top lock button and when I unclock it the screen works again.

TechCrunch : An iPhone Lover's (Initial) Thoughts On iPhone 4

TechCrunch : An iPhone Lover's (Initial) Thoughts On iPhone 4

Wed, 9 Jun 2010 06:53:36 +0000

"a strong rivalry between iPhone and Android is a good thing for us all" I agree! For iPhone and Android lovers, competition between the two will keep Android & iOS on its feet. If Android comes up with a new feature, iPhone will have it as well..maybe make it better. If iPhone comes out with something unique...Android will copy it as well. Competition will keep, prices low, us happy with new tech and every few months a new Android will on sale and every new year a new iPhone will have new cool features. Competition will keep all Apple & Android Fanboys Happy. :)

TechCrunch : The OS X 10.7 Cat Is Out There, But Purring Quietly Leading Up To WWDC

Nice! I'm pretty sure 10.7 will be mentioned. I have to give you Props MG, I think TechCrunch should create a special section on TechCrunch for you named: AppleCrunch. With your very informative & constant Apple Posts, I rarely visit all those other Apple News websites. Mr. Arrington should give you a raise. :) Ruben
