#Liveblogging The iphone 5s Event From My Busted-Ass iphone 4sgreetings! I'm live blogging today's iphone event at
which we're expecting to see at least one new iphone from my old iphone 4s which is broken moderately.
There's a hairline crack on the left side of the screen which is unsightly and also sometimes makes it hard to select things on that side.
I put the iphone on the armrest of my couch and the. N kicked it off
haha omg HTML is SUCH A BITCH to use on an iphone. This is going to be slow as hell.
Also my phone is already VERY hot from the effort of just setting up this post. 12:18:
the cracks on the back of the phone are shedding small shards of glass into my palm. 12:20:
because 1. That's the only network his crappy old phone has and 2 . I've never been able to figure out how the in-office wifi works here at popsci.
I need to type it the iphone is not liveblog-friendly 4/5 stars 12:39 I messe up the closing HTML tags again12:
44/sometimes my phone stops saying it has 3g signals and instead gives me this little sad circle.
I'd link to it but by the time I finished writing the HTML for a link the event would be over. 12:58 lol love stream that's nsfw iphone. 1: 05
The cool thig the only cool thing about iphone liveblog gig is that I can do it from the bathroom. 1: 11
First of all the biggest problem you have with your iphone is your own fault. You can't really blame Apple for your inability to keep your phone safe.
Cool1: 23 there are two new iphones. I only need one to replace this one though. 1: 25 first is the iphone 5c. it's available in colors.
For example yellow1: 26 other colors include blue. And green 1: 28 who will be the first to wonder
if apple is ripping off Nokia with these bright colors???Fire that person1: 31 the iphone 5c will cost $100 for 16gb and $200 for 32gb.
Probably don't buy it cellphone plans are long and expensive so why get a chep bad phone
when you'll have to she'll out thousands of dollars over the next two years.
Buy good phones that's my controversial opinion. 1: 32 i feel like I'm getting the hang of HTML on this thing!
1: 33 crap1: 35 there are like a million colors of this new $30 case but they all look like a 1950s children's toy version of a rotary phone1:
36 now there's the iphone 5s. That gold color looks so bad what kind of monster will buy it?
I can block you. 1: 39 64 bit apps. I know what that means but my hands are sort of cramping up so
47 Jenna Wortham who writes about technology for a website called the New york times told me she wants the gold iphone.
48 better battery life than the last iphone says apple. That's good that matters. 1: 51 I cheated
I think it's impossible to upload images to our CMS from an iphone. When will Phil Schiller address this1:
53 the new iphone 5s has a better camera. Bigger sensor image stabilization burst mode.
The camera is unheralded as maybe THE main thing that puts the iphone above android phones in quality--apple's image processing is amazing way better than even flashy HTC
and Nokia cameras. 1: 54 just saw a guy do a kick flip in slow motion.
1: 567 whenever people gchat me it goes DONGGG on my phone and then I have to scroll all the way back down to where
2: 02 iphone corrected fingerprint to fongerprit? Ok greetings from The netherlands I guess2: 05 oh apple says they encrypt the fingerprints.
08 iphone 5s will cost $200 for 16gb and $300 for 32gb. The iphone 4s is now free.
Fyi the iphone 4s has a tendency to shatter and is limited as a liveblogging tool. 2: 12 apple says we really love music.
Whoooooooa maybe you shoulda workshopped that sentiment man2: 13 oh Elvis costello cool. Hey dude play last year's model hahahhaha(?
Btw I'm selling a used iphone. As-is condition.@@Dannosowitz-You can easily replace the back of your iphone..
there are 2 screws in the bottom. I run an iphone repair shop so I can assure you it's a very simple process.
Two screws and it slides off. You'll just need the proper tools and replacement part to repair it.

Dan is complaining about fundamentally Apple things yet still owns an iphone. If you don't like the lack of 4g the terrible glass on the back the poor html get a different phone!
My previous phone was an HTC but I hated their lack of removable battery lack of micro SD aluminum unibody.
Hence why I now own a Samsung. Who knows where I will get my next one from.

First of all the biggest problem you have with your iphone is your own fault. You can't really blame Apple for your inability to keep your phone safe.
Second your phone isn't old. I'm still using a 3gs and writing this on my 3gs
which is old and decrepit. My final point is that you can proof read. Just because you are on your phone as
I am doesn't mean you can't take the 30 seconds out of your busy schedule to proofread what you wrote before you post it.
If not that phone suckswow. $200 for the 32 gig phone from last year. Ouchie. Not looking good for moving forward so far...
I'll give you $1 for your phone!@@mike13323it is supposed obviously to be satirical and it is your comment that comes off as pathetic.
First off quit complaining to the peanut gallery about your shattered phone that was your fault and nobody else's. Secondly there is no reason for you to misspell that many words using an iphone.
I mean it has autocorrect are drunk you f&cking? Thirdly your article made no sense. You are biased completely against the iphone
and yet you have one? Plus you haven't even used the new one how can you make a judgement on something you only got to look at from 100 yds away?
iphone 5s fingerprint sensor: The end of passwords? Apple's addition of a fingerprint reader in its latest smartphone the iphone 5s is part of its strategy to double down on device security. by Zack Whittaker September 10 2013 12:27 PM PDT Apple has unveiled its smartphone
's latest weapon: a fingerprint reader it's calling Touch ID. With its move Apple could end up making the technology commonplace as rivals might feel compelled to follow suit.

Turns out that these chickens have a high incidence of a particular retrovirus called EAV-HP. Retroviruses are a type of virus that integrates its own genetic data into the host in an unusual order.
This EAV-HP retrovirus is responsible for inserting that weird gene the one that turns the chicken eggs blue.

In 2000 bioengineer Thomas Boland the self-described grandfather of bioprinting eyed an old Lexmark printer in his lab at Clemson University.
Boland emptied the Lexmark's ink cartridge and filled it with collagen. He then glued a thin black silicon sheet onto blank paper and fed it into the printer.
and his team had reconfigured a Hewlett-packard Deskjet 550c to print with E coli bacteria. Then they graduated to larger mammalian cells farmed from Chinese hamsters and lab rats.
There's also no Photoshop no tools to move cells around. That's not a coincidence.
Sensing an opportunity Autodesk has teamed with Organovo to develop CAD programs that could be applied to bioprinting.

Android is used by poorer people and ios is used by richer people. A Pew survey taken last month bears this out:
Android is beating ios in all income brackets except one. Among users in households that earn $75000
or more a whopping 40 percent identify as ios users compared to 31 percent who identify as Android users.
Compare that to the users in sub-$30000 households--only 13 percent use ios while 28 percent use Android.
Android is popular because it's cheap not because it's good wrote Sam Biddle for Gizmodo earlier this year about the reason for the success of Android phones.
But that's changing. The HTC One and especially the contract-free version of the One released this month with stock Android like Google intended is good.
It might be the best phone I've ever used. The tide is turning and that means one thing.
It's time for rich people to gentrify Android. Android is the formerly bad neighborhood that brokers are starting to describe as up and coming.
Rents were cheap--you could snag a phone for free or for $50 or $100 with a two-year contract.
You could get an Android phone on whatever network you want including those that deal significantly
or even primarily to lower-income customers like T-Mobile or Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOS) like Metropcs Boost or Virgin Mobile who rent tower space from other larger networks.
You could get a buy-one-get-one-free deal on a phone. That's why the lower-income set opts for Android over ios. The iphone is for rich people not necessarily
because it's more expensive; a current-generation iphone costs as much and sometimes less than a current-generation top-of-the-line Android phone.
But it came first and so it grabbed the money and loyalty of the early adopters who are by definition rich folks--it initially cost a whopping $500
and it remained pricey for a few generations. And its advertising focused on its premium materials its high-end manufacturing processes and its fancy (paid) apps.
Apple successfully marketed the iphone as high-end. But even bad neighborhoods have strengths. Android has flexibility ios doesn't;
there's only one iphone but there are dozens of Android phones at any given point. You have space to stretch out
if you want it. And slowly Google and the Android hardware makers are realizing what landlords
and shop owners in up-and-coming neighborhoods realize: your profit margins are an awful lot bigger when you sell to rich folks.
The HTC One with its big gorgeous aluminum body its vivid and spacious screen its wildly superior versions of GMAIL Google maps and the Chrome browser its voice control that crushes Siri in every way possible
and its genuinely futuristic and exciting Google Now is a perfect trigger for Android gentrification.
It's a badass affordable loft in a neighborhood you'd been eyeing but couldn't quite bring yourself to move To that makes it different from the other top-tier Android phones on the market like the Samsung Galaxy S IV a more-of-the-same sequel to a phone we didn't much like last year. iphone users might look at a Galaxy S
and think Why ditch my comfortable luxurious iphone ecosystem for a chintzy plastic Samsung phone with desperately overstuffed featuresets?
It'd be like moving from a comfortable old brownstone to a brand-new spacious apartment in an up-and-coming neighborhood...
that's made with paper-thin drywall and the cheapest possible kitchen appliances. And a clothes dryer that singes your underwear.
Android phones are now a legitimate option for the wealthy. And as the rich people come to Android the apps will follow
just as the organic grocery stores and adventurous Japanese fusion tapas restaurants come to gentrifying neighborhoods. A smartphone ecosystem is not unlike a neighborhood:
when that 31 percent percent of $75000+households rises to 40 percent you can bet the New yorker will hurry a little bit harder to bring its digital magazine to Android.
What happens to the lower-income types when Android starts marketing more heavily to the wealthy?
Or maybe another platform like Windows phone or Blackberry will start marketing more heavily to the lower-income segment.
But assuming the HTC One sells well this could be the first major step towards Android gentrification.
Some day the rich kids who've grown up with Android will look back at the HTC One.
That was when my parents knew that Android was safe they'll say. Customer accumulated data bases making bold assumptions about people are a perspective of technology will constantly grow in both the civilian and government view.
I find some of the above assumptions completely absurd but I am sure somebody is looking over some data base somewhere to make these assumptions.
There could be a large Popsci article written about this topic itself. Besides NSA listening to all communications of everyone real time I am sure they are developing data bases on individuals in hopes of guessing their next move too.
I'm a Apple/iphone and would really like to get the HTC1 my coworker has it and I really like the feel of it.
The only thing I can think that I will miss from iphone is the Photo Stream but even that
I hardly use. Have any of you switched from the iphone maybe you guys can help me switch.
Thanksi don't doubt the statistics regarding income but the vast majority of fellow Android users I know chose the platform not because of the cost
but because they abhor the arrogance of Apple and the Don't tamper with the perfection we've created mentality that they apply to their (lack of) configurability.
Android has a huge problem to solve before any real progress can be made in getting more upscale users-security.
ALL OF the mobile viruses are on Android and more every day. Combined with vendors being reluctant to update the system this makes using Android dangerous for nontechnical people
-and the more well off you are the more you have to lose in terms of a virus getting into a bank account or something else.
Another reason why more well off users are using Apple products is it's simply where the apps are.
There are a lot more high quality applications on ios than on Android and it makes a lot more sense to buy a platform for the software you want to use rather than the operating system.
I recently switched from an iphone 5 to the HTC One. I am pleased very so far.
One responder mentioned Photostream HTC One (Android) also has the option to sync all of the photos you take to the cloud create albums and share photos.
The shouldn't be much of a concern. At my house we did some printing from our iphones.
After switching to Android I have found that Google Cloud Print is much nicer. I can print from anywhere
I am (not just when I'm connected to my home network). It requires a little bit of configuration to get things to your individual tastes
and personalized than with iphone. I was an early adopter of ios 7 (mobile developer) and
I really didn't like the direction the OS was going in. I preferred a bit of skeuomorphism and felt that it made things a bit more intuitive.
This is really what lead me to take the plunge and try something different (I've been using iphones
since the original iphone came out). kgelner-name anyone you know have heard of anywhere at anytime in the US who has ever ever got a virus on Android.
Stats from virus scanner software doesn't count people who pirate apps don't count people in Russia an China don't count.
Ask around. Post it on your favorite social media site and ask. Go ahead I dare you.
FUD pure and simple. As for money I spent $450 cash for my Nexus 4 and know a few hundred thousand who did likewise.
The pure Android Galaxy 4 and HTC One cannot be purchased from a a carrier and run $599+.
Meanwhile the IPHONE 4 and 4s can be had on contract for<$50. In fact when the IPHONE 5 was released the 4s became a big seller because of the price drop.
Don't believe me take a look at Apples earnings reports from that quarter. Their margins took a hit because of the increase sales of the 4s.
A majority of Iphone users I know either got them as hand-me-downs or for $50 or less.
I prefer Android because I can make my phone mine not some companies vision of what
I want. If I have nearly $500 to spend on a phone and didn't choose Apple I'm obviously not doing so because
I don't have the cash. Many of us choose Android because we actually want to not
because we have to. You CAN'T compare ios with android on a socioeconomic scale
because android includes several brands that range in price and functionality vs ios which is one brand of phone.
It's absurd and elitist. And just because someone may spend more money on one product over another doesn't mean that product is superior.
I don't recall any high end android phones having any major defects with their antenna's or mapping capabilities.
Everyone knows apple has exceptional marketing. They have succeeded in getting tech-ignorant people to buy products with outdated and sometimes faulty components.
Android developed a visionary OS that hardware is now able to fully match--meanwhile Apple's limited OS is falling way behind the times (widgets themes custumizations.
As has been pointed out Android runs on hardware ranging from nearly free to $600+.+I believe this variety fosters an analogous range in the socio-economic class of users.
Android's greatest fault isn't its perceived complexity (versus ios) or its insecurity but rather the fragmentation allowed by Google.
Device makers are allowed to change the ROM and other features of the OS to suit their hardware (perhaps even preferences) all
while having no obligation to roll out the latest Android version. I think it's this fragmentation that creates the notion of it being unsecured and difficult to use.
If Canonical can create a fluid user experience with its Ubuntu mobile OS while preventing hardware makers from altering that interface
I think they'll be able to take the middle ground in the smartphone market.
and recently updated to Android 4. 2 blows away my buddies vanilla iphone 5 in almost all regards period.
I had a Sony Android fone but got worried by the inability to update the OS.
Sony rubbed my nose in it by promising that an update was due later that year but after 2 years
