Is there a single useful Apple iOS camera capabilitythat isn't already on Android?

The world rightly laughs at idiots like you. You're a joke, old fart. Be proud! And yet, while I know nothing, I clearly know far more than you do. LOL! You're the complete ignoramus who said: "And how, without anything but the native software one the PC, since it works with *every* PC in the world (linux, mac, and windows), are *you* going to wirelessly transfer files from both the Android & iOS device to any computer nearby without putting them on the Internet?" It's brain-dead easy to do *just* that, and I've been doing it with Linux, Windows, macOS, and Solaris for *years*. No internet is required. No installation of any software On the PC is required. The fact that you are completely unaware of how to do this ultra simple thing tells all we need to know about just how little you actually know. Pathetic! Fancy that. Indeed; you're a ****ing laughable joke of a troll. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR |

Your observation that everyone on the linux group cited is wrong, i didn't say everyone was wrong. stop lying and you're always correct i didn't say that either but in this case i am. (even sans a shred of fact), is duly noted. plenty of evidence was provided. stop lying. |

wrote: i didn't misunderstand *anything* in that thread. Do you really want me to quote again all the times in that thread where respectable people handed you your head? actual respectable person, such as jeff lieberman, agreed with what i said and even called you an idiot for your crazy plan. Constantly you misunderstood the OP and even finally admitted it, why do you talk about yourself in the third person? the op was you, and i didn't misunderstand anything. stop lying. In article , Jeff Liebermann wrote: I won't question why you need a static IP address for your device. Well, maybe I will a little. On the WAN side, the only device that really needs an internet routeable static IP is a mail server. That's because the DNS MX record requires an IP address and will not work with domain style address. On the LAN side, it's convenient to have static IP addresses for such things as routers, servers, switches, print servers, modem servers, gateways, backup server, etc. Basically, anything that is difficult to move around. Things like phones, tablets, game boxes, gizmos, laptops, PC's, media players, etc work nicely with DHCP assigned addresses. In article , Jeff Liebermann wrote: The main goal is to "mount" any Android or iOS device, whether or not I have an "account" on that device and without adding any additional software. Any? Please look in a mirror and check for signs of temporary insanity. There must be a reason why you want to invite every drive by smartphone onto your network. The problem is not in mounting the device. It's that said device needs to first connect, associate, authenticate, etc with your wireless AP. An inconvenient detail is that the user of the smartphone has to configure their phone to do this, along with knowing all the necessary pass phrases and incantations to successfully connect, they are now on your network. Please modify your "Any" to "One of my devices" so we can blunder onwards. .... This is easy to do, if we just think about the problem set, and use native solutions. So I used native solutions. Yep. Why did you totally ignore using a pre-assigned DHCP static address? It does not add software, is quite automatic, does not require anything more than the MAC address of the smartphone, and can be fairly easily configured with your Linux router in dhcpd.conf: |

Why is it that I can list a score of functionality that Android does that iOS can't hope to do without jailbreaking? why is it that every time you do, it's refuted? why is it you ignored the numerous things ios can do that android can't? why does it matter? nobody but you gives a ****. Absolutely none of which can you don on an Apple iOS device/ just about of it can be done, most with little to no effort, and according to you, the amount of effort expended does not matter. |

It has already been established that there is nothing functional or useful that Apple iOS devices can do that Android doesn't already do. If there were, someone (anyone) would be able to name just one. i gave a list of a dozen or so and you haven't refuted a single one and there are several more i thought of after i posted those. not that it matters. it's not a race. heck, some android phones can do things other android phones can't, which you of course, ignore. |

I didn't know Android made cameras. And yet, that there is plenty of functionality (e.g., automatic call recording, bit torrenting apps, launchers, app drawers, wifi and cellular graphical scanners, ability to organize desktops, etc.) that Apple iOS devices don't have. iOS doesn't have a desktop so how could it be organised by an app. Those are the facts (not your opinion). I'm not sure what apps I'm missing that Andriod users find either so useful or can't live without that I can't do. is there an Andriod map app like apple maps ? There was a time when you wouldn't dare ask that. Has that time passed? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Instead, the unit directed them over an unpaved, winding, washboard road toward Saline Valley, where they turned right onto an even rougher four-wheel-drive road and became stuck near a remote abandoned mine site called Lippincott. "People don't realize that if they tell the unit to find the shortest route to somewhere, it's not necessarily finding the shortest, safe, paved route," Callagan said. .... Lately, Callagan has been working with technology companies to remove closed and hazardous roads from their navigation databases * but with only partial success. "I'm pulling my hair," he said. "I was never able to reach a single human with Google Earth Maps. But in their system, they have a way you can let them know something is wrong. And over the course of a year, I was able to get their maps updated." If I remember correctly at one stage it was temporarily withdrawn nothing was withdrawn. it's not possible to do that without affecting a billion people. after a critical error nearly led to a young couple to their death in a waterless region of the Australian desert. the maps didn't lead anyone. they ****ed up and have only themselves to blame. Apple may even have substituted Google maps at that point. they didn't. apple *originally* used google's map data for their maps app, but as the popularity of the iphone grew, so did google's restrictions on what could be done with that data. google intentionally blocked apple from offering features that google had on their own products (questionable legality), which put apple at a significant competitive disadvantage, so as a result, apple switched to their own data. as with any newly launched product, there were some errors in the map data, just as there were errors in google's map data when they first launched it a decade earlier. nothing is perfect. furthermore, anyone relying on gps map data without engaging their brain is going to find out the hard way what being lost means. when (not if) that happens, they will have only themselves to blame for their own negligence. hopefully their adventure is just a very scenic bypass and not a one-way trip to the beyond. |
