You are the one denying them as though you really know what is going on. i'm not denying anything. what i'm doing is pointing out the vagueness and stupidity of their so called claims. 'could have' is meaningless. the next iphone could be a lot of things. it's yet another stupid analyst spewing again, with the intention to knock the stock down a bit to create a wonderful buy op for said analyst and his buddies. Yet another news item, this time with Apple spin: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=11873786 or http://tinyurl.com/ybmlr6w8 "Until Intel is able to offer its chips with matching features, Apple won't enable some of capabilities of the phones running with Qualcomm modems, ...". Cutting off its nose to spite its face? not at all, and how is that an apple spin? looks anti-apple to me. You didn't read the article. it's yet another content-free article designed to get clicks. Content free? You read it with your eyes closed. although 1 gigabit cellular networks are expected to appear, they're going to be *very* rare. i know of only a couple of cities in the usa where they'll be deployed by years end. even in those areas, almost nobody will get anywhere close to that speed, and if they do, it's nothing they'll ever notice since most content is bandwidth limited in other ways. Correct. matching performance and/or features of components from different vendors across a product line is standard practice. that article is trying to make it appear that only apple intentionally gimps components. they aren't. They are pruning Qualcom modems to the level of the lowest. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Correct. in other words, it didn't say much of anything. matching performance and/or features of components from different vendors across a product line is standard practice. that article is trying to make it appear that only apple intentionally gimps components. they aren't. They are pruning Qualcom modems to the level of the lowest. nope. the article *claims* that apple *might* do that, *if* the intel chips don't perform as well as qualcomm. it's all wild guessing, based on rumours. nobody outside of apple and most of those within apple have no idea what the next iphone will be like. it's a bull**** article, designed to get clicks. nothing more. |

It's the same people, doing work assigned via a ticket system on a daily basis. Nobody has separate maintenance crews for business and residential. Nearly everyone has separate repair crews. I have never heard of one that does not. Like I said, all my friends who worked in telecom repair for at least forty years always worked in either residential or business, but *never* both at the same time. Never, and that includes a variety of companies in Chicago. I don't know who you talked to concerning Centurylink, but, they don't have 'residential only' technicians or 'business only' technicians.

Again, what I'm saying cannot possibly apply to small metro areas, or small towns. I am talking about the likes of Chicago, not rural Georgia. This all started out with people from the NYC area discussing this. |

Well, heh, I've been a tech for both of the companies I wrote about. Technical support, isn't the technician that comes to your home or business. There's NO seperate techies for business people and for residential people. We get the tickets, we repair the issue. Sometimes, we don't even know if it was a business system OR a residential system. Much more so if we never entered your house/business because the issue wasn't actually in either place, but something outside of that. You might not even see us fixing it. And, we don't really care. We just want to get it fixed and move onto the next ticket, so we have some small chance in hell of getting home sometime near dinnertime. I'm glad you think there's some magical 'business class only' crew waiting for your whiny, often bitchy (this needs to be done now, nothing you're already doing and/or committed to doing could be as important) call, but, that's just not the case based on the experiences I've had. It's possible MUCH larger cities waste the resources to have two sets of vans/trucks/duplicate gear and twice the technicians to keep them seperate as you think, but, that's never been my experience or that of other technicians I know who have worked in much larger places than me. -- https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming in terror, like his passengers. |

You're arguing with something you agree with. I did say that separate divisions will not work in smaller areas, and that's all there is to it. You are basing your claims on things you know personally, and so am I. I grew up in Chicago, but it's the same here in Las Vegas according to every tech I've talked to. And LV isn't all that big. I'm not doubting your claims at all, but you shouldn't doubt mine either. |
