Did you guys in the hear about the battle between Apple and Samsung?? Seems like Steve Jobs and the whole possy can´t swallow it that Samsung and especially all Android devices are taking over on the market. I know Apple is an US company and most of you will stick to it instead of Samsung, but I have had tried both products and tell you what : Apple and the iOS4 sucks big time...I love the Android and it´s open source....

 

What Apple is doing now, they went to the court and now Samsung has to stop all sales of their smartphones and tablets in Europe by mid October...I mean WTF??? Does Apple really think that will bring customers back??

 

Sorry...I´m so angry about this....I hate if someone want´s to tell me what to buy...especially if the product sucks :fume:

Have never had much luck with Samsung phones, had a couple and both had problems within a couple months and needed to be replaced. I haven't used Apple but if this is true won't be hurrying out to buy one soon.

Apple is barely an American company, everything is made in China (though I know all the design stuff is done here). The smartphone makers are constantly suing each other over here, it's nothing new and nothing ever seems to come from it. I will admit I just bought an iPhone coming from an Android device and I know people love to tout the open source thing but I can't see the appeal of it. I ran into a few buggy apps that were a pain and now on the iPhone I have all the same programs I did before. The only thing I really miss is the integration of Google services (the maps program pulling up reviews, phone numbers, etc). I haven't tired a Samsung tablet or phone so I can't comment on their hardware but while Android is a real good OS, it failed to blow me away enough to buy another device running it.

I have a Samsung Droid Charge and I can tell you first hand that the newest Android phones (mine at least) are not as buggy as the old versions. The new hardware/software is 100x better than ios4. Android is taking over and Apple is doing everything they can to slow it down.

 

BTW: Motorola Droid Bionic is the new hotness starting tomorrow.

I had the Droid X running 2.3, the newest OS and I hated it. 2.2 was more stable and gave me tons better battery life. I don't miss it.

meh, i went through the whole Apple phase. honestly, when people ask me how i like my Macs, i just say, "Meh, its okay."

 

its nice for uploading pics from a camera, which is all my wife uses it for. the all in one computer with wireless keyboard and mouse is nice too. BUT there is still a lot that i cannot do on a mac, that i have to pull out my 5 year old Dell laptop runnning Windows XP, to do. like tunes for cars, plugging in an older camcorder to download a video, some programs are only windows based, etc. etc.

 

i didn't buy an ipad, cuz i didn't have any use for it. i do have an iphone, which is nice for all the apps, but i don't ever listen to music on it. when i need to upgrade, i will most likely pick the phone with the best camera, between the Droid and iphone... and right now the Droid is winning that battle!

 

when my iMac is done, i will most likely go back to Microsoft

My Droid X had an 8 MP vs the iPhone having 5 MP and the iPhone takes waaaaaay better pics than the DX.

well i wouldn't really know with no experience, but the big camera lens on the back looks better than the tiny lens on the iphone. :fume:

 

hopefully someone comes out with one that has optical zoom that can rival some compact point and shoots!

I doubt you'll ever see anything that good. Picture quality comes from nice optics and a good CCD chip, neither of which are likely to make it into a phone anytime soon. The phone has always been a quick and dirty way for me to get pics. I'd never use it for something important, that's why I've spent like $2000 on a Nikon DSLR and an assortment of lenses. Expensive as hell but it takes amazing pics.

Early on Apple dumped tons of money into the aesthetics of their products, but now there are other companies who have caught up. I purchased an ipad2 a few weeks ago and took it back after a week. Was not impressed at all, and I really hate the Apple store. I will most likely get an ASUS or the new Sony tablet that comes out on 9/16/11.

What was it about the ipad2 you didn't like? I just checked out the Sony Tablet S and it looks really nice.

I know its been out for a while, but the speed was a little sluggish compared to my HTC Sensation (Tmobile), and for having to pay for just about all the apps I would expect them to be a little more visually appealing. Last but not least I don't like the idea of having to use their formats for music and movies. They can stick their proprietorship where the sun don't shine.

 

Don't get me wrong, they make nice products, but now that there are other options that are just as good and some are better at a lower price. For most people is just about the brand name. Like owning a northface jacket.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
