Pretty sure a bank near my house was held up this afternoon. Cop car at the bank, and many more racing around nearby, sirens sometimes on.

@jsnell Worth checking out Downcast. Seems to fly under the radar, but much better than Podcaster and Instacast, IMHO.

@SlvrLambStudios @Seanfunk For sure. Has that account existed for more than 6 months?

@SlvrLambStudios @Seanfunk My understanding is that if someone sits on a name for more than 3 months, you can ask Twitter to hand it over.

Nope.

@fpgeek The good thing is that when it comes to computers and technology, dominance is fleeting.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek I’m just a guy who needs to get shit done. And for me, they do.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Haha. Oh well; I guess the difference between us is that I believe Apple more than Google has my best interests at heart.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek On the other hand, Apple’s swimming hard to catch up. I’m starting to see the day that I no longer use Gmail for my email. Yikes.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek I used to be a huge Google proponent, but lately I’m not liking the changes they’re making, and feeling underserved by them.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Google’s web services beat Apple’s, Apple’s devices beat Google’s.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Yeah, I guess so. It’s a shame though; instead of getting best of breed from both, I’m forced to choose.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Ahh, but it’s a balance that includes so much more, like elegance and usability.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Hard to say. Apple likes to leverage their position, but usually not to the detriment of customers’ user experience. We’ll see.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Yeah. iBooks isn’t doing that great; if it fails to catch on, Apple will be forced to back down on that one.

@IanGClifton If the device gets the majority of the features from the new OS, it’s not obsolete. If not or it can’t get updated, it is.

via Tweetbot for iPhone in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton I consider a device obsolete when it reaches a point where it cannot or will not receive an update to the latest OS version.

via Tweetbot for iPhone in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton To each their own I guess, if that’s important to you. I prefer a phone that’s not obsolete the day I buy it.

via Tweetbot for iPhone in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton That’s still far better than not having the option of running updated OS versions.

via Tweetbot for iPhone in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton There’s no server load reason Google couldn’t make a decent Gmail client for iOS. I’d rather they not bother than release crap.

via Tweetbot for iPhone in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton The latest iOS runs on the last three generations of hardware. Compare that to Android.

via Twitterrific in reply to IanGClifton

@IanGClifton Siri only on iPhone 4S is a business decision, both to encourage upgrades and to attenuate demand on the Siri servers.

@fpgeek The buy button removal? Refresh my memory…

via Twitterrific in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek That’s true. But for now stuck with having to choose, it’s an easy choice for me.

via Twitterrific in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek And most regular (non-geek) users will prefer that, too.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek OK. I’ll take the complete lack of viruses and malware, higher average quality of apps, UI consistency, etc. the app store offers.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Apple prefers to make their user’s lives easier (that’s their competitive advantage). When things aren’t, often it’s the carriers.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Sure, but that’s not unique to iPhones. In daily use, the app review process makes my life easier as a user.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Yeah, and that’s a shame. It’s those same powerful rules, though, that make my iOS experience so enjoyable and trouble-free.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek True. I suspect it has more to do with competing in the mobile space than Apple’s review process though. Everybody loses!

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek Sure, but Google also shares a lot of users with Apple. Surely it’s worth it for them to deliver a good experience. So far, not one.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@fpgeek There is a metric buttload of great iOS apps out there. Not a single one from Google is one of them.

via Twitterrific for Mac in reply to fpgeek

@leeroyholmes Google’s iOS apps are awful. Android gets true native apps, iOS gets buggy, slow web views.

@rjcc @geektonic The Android / iOS debate for me is straightforward; I value strong design and simplicity over configurability.
