not arrogant, just honest, blunt and absolutely confident.
you can still speak plainly and not be arrogant.
You sir, sound exceptionally arrogant - maybe you should think about how you persona comes across online?
I used to be like you, speak like this, tell peole how it was, not allow room for anyone else's opinions, it stops life being as enjoyable as it can be.
I didn't reply to any of them because I a) don't generally argue on the internet - it's a bit pointless & b) I could't find a coherent point in what you said. However as you've asked, - please let me respond.
What? I mean, what? You don't make any sense, not in a "I don't agree with you" way, but in a "you can't put a sentence together" way.
Again - what? That's like saying cars need wheels and doors to make them work - hardly a revelation is it?
So?? Does every android user have a registered account, with a stored credit card and is able to make a one click transaction from a single store with a unified customer services system and unified redownload system? No.
That's one of the huge reasons IOS users buy more apps consistently in every report ever written about it.
I *said* this in MY OWN article.
AND you linked to an article - TWO YEARS old
and the article *actually* said:
"The piracy rates for apps on the iPad may be much higher than on the iPhone, if one developer's report is any indication."
So the report is based on ONE person and is comparing iPads and iPhones! not Android!
Er - yes, and - what's your point? Do you have one? Do you have any figures, articles and examples? Do you have anything?
Well that makes me feel a lot better - good to have you on board Mr Confident.
Contrasting views are the most important views I can find, they help me understand other people's points of views, empathise with their problems and enable me to work towards solving these problems and making their interactions with something I've worked on, smoother.
Users don't always want to help however.
Anyway - anyone else? I'll be updating the original post ASAP and I have the first draft of the recommendations to come as well.
I look forward to your views on that to "Uncle Nutsy"
IF THAT'S EVEN YOUR REAL NAME.
strong confidence is always mistaken for arrogance.
interesting. you're the only one that's mentioned that. And yet, I have had university professors compliment me on my writing. I can write very well, but I don't like writing. Go figure.Quote:

Your assertion stemmed from the amount of models on the market currently. I countered by mentioning that all models ran on similar hardware and noting that part of your blog post should reflect that instead. But seeing as we're on the subject of cars, your assertion was like trying to tell people that an aftermarket manufacturer shouldn't create parts for Ford because there are too many models out there. If you wish to write into GW with a proposition, you need to have a tighter comparison, such as the hardware that runs the tablets instead of the models of tablets.Quote:

If they have an account with Google Play, then yes. That android user will have a registered account with a stored credit card and will be able to make the 'one-click transaction'. but why is that even part of your proposition anyways? it's not relevant at all.Quote:

the reason iOS users buy more apps consistently.. is because there's only one place to get those apps. so of COURSE they will have higher sales figures. When you corner the market, you can brag til the sun turns blue that your figures are higher. And no one will argue because there's nothing to argue with.
I know. The age does not matter. The author is comparing one iOS device to another, making it relevant to the discussion. It doesn't matter if it's an iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone. they all run the same hardware and are almost identical, save for a few functions and sizes.Quote:

my point *is* that comparing a physical-based product with an electronic-based product is like comparing apples and oranges. they may be both fruit but that's where the similarities end.Quote:

Now, if we look at amazon's Terms and Conditions ([url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=1161302]known as a Participation agreement[/url]), we see that they can use and modify a persons' work how they see fit. Now if I were at Games Workshop, I would not like that part of the agreement. We can take this to mean that digital codexes won't be released there before some serious legal wrangling was done.
Google Books' terms and conditions are [url=http://play.google.com/intl/en/about/books-terms.html]here[/url], but at the time of writing this, it's been doing some really funny redirects and I can't read the entire document in the half second that it resides on the monitor.
I just want to add, after reading this last part, that your writing process comes off as disjointed, there's a typo, there is a hyphen missing and there's a spelling mistake. So please don't accuse others of bad writing until you brush up on yours.Quote:

Generally it's just arrogance. What you said is in fact a perfect example. So is this:
It also, quite obviously, means nothing - professors? professors of what? When? In what context?
Similar - in the land of software development, which is where I live, is not the same. It means more testing, more development work, a higher cost for purchasing hardware and a (much) longer development time. Tell me, what do you do for a living?
So the answer you are looking for is "no"?
No, you seem to have got embarrassingly confused. The higher sales figures are based on some simple figures.
1) IOS users download more apps, free to otherwise than Droid users
2) IOS users BUY more apps, per user, than droid users
Your "of course" means nothing in this case.
But it does matter - you fool - because you were using it to demonstrate there is more piracy on the iPad compared to Android. You fail at sourcing arguments.
Sir - I put it to you that you are ignorant of the subject matter (demonstrated by your own words and opinions) arogant (again indicated by your own words) and in fact you are continuing this argument for no good reason.
I - am drawing a line under this right here

Now - if anyone has any more valuable feedback I'd be hugely grateful to hear your views :)
Cheers
trust me if they were science professors, it wasn't really a compliment it was an insult.Quote:

:D So presumably in that instance it's like making the statement "I'm good at checkers?"
But seriously Nutsy, the fact that you claim the age of an article doesn't matter sorta invalidates anything you say. In technology, the age of your data is everything.
In term of app purchases: you realize that there being only one marketplace has nothing to do with it, right? Literally nothing. It has to do with the purchasing trends of the user, which again, people have proven that iOS users spend more, attributing the lack of Droid purchases to the fact that their users won't pay for it because it "should be free."
And as your comment about writing processes go: if you were so smart, and such a good writer, you'd clearly see the difference between poor writing and typos. But you don't, so we'll leave it at that.
lol, no it's like being told by Michael Jordan that you're good at baseball. Or like being told by Shaquille O'Neal that you're good a free throws.Quote:
