<not admin/no ranks> Prove it. I'm personally so indescribably bored by this mantra that was invented by a tech press whose main ambition is bait-clicking and stirring up trouble and being smug, having lived through the 'Apple are doomed' years (even the first laptop I bought, the Mac dealer was trying to talk me out of it as they were not going to last more than a few weeks, it was ridiculous...I had to insist he sell it to me)...bleargh. I like the fact that they don't chase the media on this. They don't pander to the hungry ghost of the tech press who keep throwing theyr toys out of the pram. All Samsung have to do is to look out of the window and they get praised -- except in the actual reviews which say meh -- and when Apple do something, it gets panned. They've taken a really powerful step forward with the fingerprinting home button, for instance, which is a *real* feature that will make a genuine difference to a lot of people who can't be bothered with the locking. The various attempts I've heard of with Android can usually be unlocked with a photo etc. That's not a feature, that's just a gimmick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
