Why I Hate Android
parislemon:
Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse.
I should probably explain.
Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That...

I’ve long said that the hardware buttons on Android phones were/are a really bad idea. Thought I’d elaborate on why, since it’s been pissing me off lately:
The back-button

I approached this experiment with a lot of questions, the primary of which was quite simple: why do people use Android? I had my own preconceived answers — they dislike Apple or couldn’t get an iPhone for one...

paper mail: What's wrong with Android →
jawcl:
In the recent months, I have spent a lot of time using an HTC ThunderBolt after selling my iPhone 4 because AT&T’s service was terrible where I lived. It’s been nice having 4G LTE and all, but the actual Android OS is a joke. Don’t get me wrong here, I do like Google when it comes to some things - Google+, Gmail, Music Beta, Voice, and Calendar. I believe that every company has...

android-gripes:
Congratulations! With this recently released “Smart Case”, Samsung has successfully 100% completed its shameless rip-off of iPad 2.
Being shameless is not just Samsung’s problem, it’s a problem of the Android’s ecosystem. So I’m not surprised. Samsung is just one of those who gave up innovation completely.

The First Zombie-Proof House
Somehow, ritual drunk-conversation concerning team captains for the apocalypse has become a major part of the lives of 20-somethings. Having been matured in the Grandaddy-crowned masterpiece film (put “A.M. 180” on and forget that you have a job), 28 Days Later, we’re all a little too ready to deal with the 2012 of our dreams.
“The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily...
John Carmack: iOS game development is addictive,...
ID software is a game developing company known for pushing the hardware of any platform they embrace, starting from their earliest triumphs on the PC with Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake and continuing last year with Rage HD on iOS.
Don’t expect to see id software release their games on Android any time soon, though. It’s just not worth their effort according to John Carmack: Read More…
