Yup, it's totally true. It's like the only thing my relative's iPhone can do that my Nexus can't, and he rubs it in no at every possible chance. It's a totally worthless party trick, but it's true.

Holy ****, even if our device could stand up like the iPhone it would not be possible because the vibration motor is located at the top of the device I think.
But thats awesome that will get a LOT of downloads!

Yup its legitimate cheap trick i would say btw i fans would make merry out of it
leap before you think

Now to sell flat shiny surfaces to attach to tripods!
Can see it now, tourist areas with ispin surfaces to take photos.. $5 per spin!

I wonder if this will scratch the bottom of the iPhone?

If it's on a surface that can scratch the yes, it uses the vibrator to rub the phone slowly lol.

I must be missing something here.......so the vibrating motor causes the phone to spin?......blurry photo anyone?!

That's the innovation apple is talking about. I love it! Can't wait to see apple users put the phones like this and show us 2 magic tricks at once. Spinning around and scratch the bottom of the phone. Reminds me of the song by Kylie Minogue. Don't remember the lyric, I guess it was something like "I keep spinning around and scratching myself!?!". Idk but it's very nice trick. Next iphone will jump while spinning.

Apple makes products that are grossly overpriced just to give people a few gimmicks. Precisely why Android runs the market.

Easter Egg image a hidden insult?

I'm sure I'm reading too much into it but I looked at the Easter egg image a few minutes ago and the first thing that pops in my head when looking at it is a bunch of mindless zombies on cell phones being dominated/controlled by the evil android gingerbread.
What do you see when you look at it? A hidden insult/inside joke perhaps from the developers?

I am sorry but how you could even find this insulting is beyond me. However, if this were really true, props to you cause I have always found it to be a charming picture. I don't know what it means but it says who made it as soon as the image pops up, you could maybe find the guy and ask him what inspired him to do such an image.
Yeah I wonder what the inspiration was. I work in IT and there are always inside jokes about end users that have a similar ring to it. Perhaps that is why I saw it how I did. Its a cool image either way lol

I never thought of that! That could very well be it. Much more likely than the way I first interpreted it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
After getting harassed by Best Buy for trying to exchange my Nexus S for the third time, I couldn't help but remember this picture and feel like Google thinks I am nothing more than a mindless zombie. It's like they feel I'm a simpleton who will buy any Android phone that bears the name "Nexus", even if it's built out of the cheapest, easiest to scratch plastic Korea can find.

I have to agree. I may not like Mr. Jobs very much but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I hope things are as well as they can be for him in this dark time. I wish him all the best. Now that that is over. Down with icrap. Lol
Regardless of what one thinks about his products, the man was definitely a visionary and a marketing genius.
I personally think nothing will change with his absence. He will still be in the backgrounds doing quality control.
The guy is dying. That is the only reason he is leaving.
He is leaving at a good time, they are still on top and will only now start to falter. Apple will fall for the exact same reasons they failed in the 80's. It won't be a terminal fall but they will fall.
Even if I don't like him or Apple that much I still respect him and what he did. His health is worsening I believe. I saw him once in Palo Alto and man has he become thin. Good luck towards his health though.

I wouldn't pity him too much. He has the money for any and all treatments available. It's safe to say he has a panel of the best medical minds looking over his health.
Granted, it's a terrible way to go, but I'm sure he is in good hands due to his company's success.

Expected Step Down
Given his recent couple of years and the known health battle (without knowing the full extent) it is really no surprise he decided to step down. Will Apple hurt from his step down? Yes! Will Apple continue to fall? Quite possibly but only time will tell.
Regardless of previous posts about how much money he has, it is still a disease that I do not wish to see anyone with. While I did not agree with all of the Apple "mentality" I cannot find fault in Jobs ability to innovate and market the products. I can only imagine if Apple had kept him on from the beginning where Apple would be at now.
What do you mean regardless of previous posts? Nobody has wished this illness on him. All I said was that he is in good hands.
Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.
One thing about Steve Jobs is he paved a nice path for the future, I don't think we would be where we are today if it wasn't for the iPhone and iPad, but just like with any pioneer apples days are numbered..
P.S. I never owned a Apple product
As a person I feel sorry for him. But as a company, I hope apple fails.

Google is readying a Siri rival called Majel

This is supposed to be Google's answer to Siri Apple's iPhone 4gs favorite.
TECHNOLOGY GIANT Google is apparently working on a Siri rival that is called Majel and could be released this year.
The voice recognition software has been named after Majel Barrett-Roddenberry who voiced the computer in Star Trek. There isn't much of 2011 left but it could be released before the year is up.

That is an extremely confusing article. For example:

That makes it sound like an actual physical entity rather than a software solution. I think what happened is Goog is working on two separate projects and this article combined them.

Majhong
Other than the New York Times article, is there any reason to believe it would be out before the New Year? I would absolutely love an early build, but if it means taking another month to work the kinks out and release a solid product I would prefer that.
Also, Majel's voice would be great but I think I would choose HAL's if I had the option.
This wouldn't rival Siri, it would be significantly different in that it would integrate with our phones and its applications.
Google voice command is sufficient to me. I used Sirius and its the same but Sirius has a personality gimmick.

Too much money in it for the government not to step in. Some money will be paid from android to apple but that's all that will happen if the patents are upheld.
I would laugh if Apple tries to sue Google for the several things they stole from android. Especially noted the drop down notification bar that I recently saw my girlfriends iPhone has the ability to do.
I hope Google tries to fight back on that stuff.

Why do bad things *apple* happen to good people *Google*.
Apple is pretty stupid to sue Google for what they created and improved. Apple is just a monopolizing S.O.B.
Apple is just a rotten fruit that will decay soon, I hope Google does something about this.
This is nothing new. Although Apple has made strides in their field, they try to kill off any decent competition in their market. They'll patent **** that shouldn't be patented and sue based on that. For example, suing Samsung for using slide to unlock. They're pretty pathetic overall. Apple will never decay, which is both a bad and a good thing. They simply have incredible marketing and brand management. That's why they can release something small like video recording on a brand new piece of hardware, and people will upgrade to it without hesitation.

Nice to see someone gets it. Apple is the largest US company by market cap. Not only the largest but as of right now it's 50% larger than second place(Exxon-Mobile). It's not going anywhere for a very long time. While it's tactics may seem dirty to the public this stuff happens all the time in the business world. That's why we have a patent office in this country. You can hate apple all you want but it won't make them go away. Their business model is second to none and they will continue to grow.
Companies are doing underhanded things in order to obtain an advantage over their competition? Tha-tha-that's not fair! My trust in huge, faceless, multinational corporations is forever shaken!

While I am happy that someone is fighting back against Apple, and am defenately on Googles side on that one, I am asking myself where all of these trends are leading.
Instead of being concerned about User satisfaction and service, companies seem to tend more and more towards monopolizing and trying to get features from other devices and applications, instead of just leading onward and trying to get the best product.
I think a little competition goes a long way in increasing development, and history has shown in many cases that certain developments are being made by different parties independantly once their time has come.
In the end I believe that no matter who wins or loses the lawsits, if this trend goes on the way it does, the only one losing out will be the users.
I just see a much brighter future with companies supporting and encouraging eachother, instead of fighting.
After all, theres enough money, users and applications for everyone.

Ya that's true! I honestly think that the reason why apple had that law suite was because they are scared of android and the popularity of it. Apple wants to be at the top of the market and bringing google down is in there agenda IMO. I just hope that this dosent turn into law suite after law suite, then it would make both companies look bad and nothing would get done. I think google should take on apple and do what they have to do and put an end to this mess
I'm definitely on Google side...
Go Google...Go Android..
