Guys relax...Apple is popular...but let's not cconfuse notoriety with fame :)
And PA I have noticed why are you so partial towards apple? I mean they do enough marketing already...we dont need you to do it.

I mean they dont even have market share close to Intel or many other companies yet they have become the number 2 brand based on just their phone???? I mean c'mon its not like the Macs are really making a dent in the PC segment...iPods have already been replaced by iphone or any smartphone for that matter! Their server segment is nowhere close to MS or Linux.

I doubt the autheenticity of this report and PA please no more Apple-sidedness please

Here u go again lmao. Ur hot air could power a balloon dude. Ur haters for apple is so obvious it doesn't even make sense. What did they turn u down for a job or something? Y even bother to read and comment on the article if dislike them so much. I don't like port of subs, so instead of going there to insult them I just don't go at all. Give this a try, since u hate apple so much stay off the apple articles. The apple users don't care trust me.

People like u, and when I say this I'm being specific and general at the same time...make coming to these tech sites very unpleasant for others. Why shoud apple users, or android and any other users for that matter have to come to these sites to b insulted at every turn, jus cuz they wanna talk about the experiences they have with their phones with others? Lets b honest this site is overrun with disrespectful android users who like nothing more than to insult and bash apple users for their choice of iOS.
What's wrong with our choosing of iOS? What's wrong with us for choosing iOS? Y must we b called a 5 letter word beginning with S for that choice? Android users praise choice, so what's wrong with iOS as our choice? Android users praise choice as long as that choice is android and blast others if they don't. I think that's hypocritical, people have the right to buy what they want. Let me ask u a question? I read your posts and I wanna know what u would like to have happen from them? Are you jus blowing hot air do u want apple to crash and burn do u want all their users to switch to android? I mean what is it u want, cuz people don't really care bout your insults they jus want what works for them and would like to express their like on PA without all the insults. Don't u think they're entitled to that.

beware apple man.........Googles on the rise!

Google is not aestheticized, therefore it cannot become a sign like Coca Cola and Apple. Those are the elementary textbook examples of branding. Google is a mediator, hidden from the semiotic level of culture.

10. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 03 Oct 2012, 04:45 2 2

and yet they are still..........number 4?? wow seems impressive compared to what apple accomplished being what you said they are and google being "not"

This scale is not quite correct since it doesn't represent true culturological values associated with some brand. Google is actually way behind Apple and Coca Cola. It's well known brand, but only because it's omnipresent in media, not because there's signficitaion projected on it's identity.

For all the identity Google has, it's because of Apple's same process of signifiaction as cultural subversion. Same goes for Samsung.

And also, those are timeless scales. As you can see, IBM should be way behind now, but it still holds 3rd place since in one period in recent history it was very popular constitutive element of our tech culture.

then by your logic this comparison shouldnt have been made because they are of two separate things.........Google dealing with the media only and apple being a brand...........its like comparing laptops to a clothing line and shoes..... mac book vs nike?

No. We are talking about brand recognition. Google is certainly recognizable brand, but it will never be as recognizable as Apple because it doesn't operate primarily on signification on actual physical products with form that can be signified. It's rather signified uncounciously by collateral effect of omnipresencing through Internet media, and therefore it can never be so close to Apple, unless it change its fundamental policy. You were talking about Google rising, right?

they are rising and quicker than you think....i guess you're looking to see google start their own clothing line or make their own computers like apple does so you would see who is the real winner right?........but i also guess deep down inside you and every other apple fan really and truly dont wanna see that LOL cuz god forbid if apple isnt number one right? lose your pride dude its bad for your health

Well, it says iGod. Either you don't see because it's small it or you need just a little extra bit of brain to figure that this is sarcastic remark to the cult of Apple's religion.

I'm not from english speaking area so I know only "nice english". Omnipresence is an english word, it's used in religious contexts and I used it for a reason. Maybe I have deformed it by putting it to present continuous, though, I wouldn't know.

My sarcastic avatar is not intended to be too obvious. It's a sort of a filter for those who don't understand much about Apple.
