Phil's losing it, iOS is losing it and Apple is losing it!
Man there sure are a whole lot of sore losers at Apple :)

That isn't malware nor is it a legitimate issue.

Dude, look everyone knows (including yourself) that you are Apple's bi(tc)h but lately you can't even defend your beloved brand properly.
If you think a 'lock screen' bypass is not a legitimate issue then I will actually give u thumps up for your stupidity !

Allowing someone to bypass the lock screen and gain access to your phone without your permission is indeed a legitimate issue Mxy. What world do you live in where this isn't a legit issue????

lol this whole apple company executives would be up this dude's ass after the announcement of sammy's 12 Billion$$ on marketing and getting astonishing results for its smartphones!

I would counter with apple maps. That catastrophe needs the tagline "be safe out there".
What an assh*le.

All other companies should just gang up and run Apple and Nokia out of the market. They seem to have a terrible superiority complex.
23. No_Nonsense posted on 08 Mar 2013, 05:24 2 8
Are you somewhat retarded? I'd suggest you to read up on Amicus briefings and what Nokia actually wants before you jump to your blind one sided conclusions.
46. Taters posted on 08 Mar 2013, 11:10 4 2
No, you are just blindly in love with Nokia. I know what an Amicus curae is and yes, I still despise Nokia because of it.

Microsoft, Nokia and Apple are trying to defeat Android by bashing it because they cannot implement anything innovative. The only thing they can do is to spread FUD on Android and Google... one day Microsoft says that Google violates your privacy, the day after Apple says that there's more malware on Andrioid and so on... since they can't make products that people are willing to buy they try to convince people not to buy Android. But please note that Google has a different attitude... they're just working, heads down.

He is just trying to hold his flock together by scaremongering .... frustrated by failure of stocks really :)

he's turning himself like that Fat ballmar. Who and why would hackers attack caged ios?
Surely hackers love Linux users
22. rusticguy posted on 08 Mar 2013, 05:17 6 1
We know what it means ... Apple (and M$ /MicroKia) can keep doing "Head Up @rse" tricks in trying to impress their own flock ... doesn't cause a stir in other camp as everyone feels that this is being done out of jealousy ... :)

Lol...even their fans are jealous...
I dunno when this crap heads will stop biting others b***

Like ms's scroogled campaign. Talking crap about the competition helps take away the hurt from having crap no-one wants...except for maybe rich dummies.

If you are an apple user, nothing can protect you from yourself.

iPhone Sales are getting slower by the day....no wonder
19. andro. posted on 08 Mar 2013, 04:39 14 0
I wonder did he mention how the iPhone has been tracking its users location and happening in very fine detail and sending them to Apple, or the iPhone caught taking secret photos of its users and sending and saving them 'nowhere'. Or perhaps that iOS apps are more likely to collect and transmit data?
IPhone market share has been taking a big hit outside the Us,iPhone 5 selling slow while is android rivals have been powering ahead. Apples stocks are at an all time low,this years huge android handsets are imminent with huge advances while the iPhone 5s is all apple has to muster, the legal court cases haven't stopped android apple must now start pathetic mud throwing

"Be safe out there."
It's kind of hard to stay safe when someone uses Maps and takes them miles to where their destination is.
Apple logic.

B-b-b-b-but dude, IWATCH! They are coming out with an ipod you wear on your WRIST! It is magirevolutionnovtive and mark my words, it WILL change EVERYTHING!!!!!!
LMAO, what a fail company
20. sonisoe posted on 08 Mar 2013, 05:08 5 0
Apple is entering the vicious circle, ipad, iphone, macbook are slowing down, and they cant innovate further with their ios, so theyre targeting the lower segment cutting their total revenues despite mY be selling more in quantity... And nxt thing u know theyll be in the red... The answer is there, innovate.... But unfortunately, thats not apple because as steve jobs said "good artists copy, great artists steal"... So how can they innovate if what theyve been doing so far is either copying or stealing ideas and patenting them as if these were theirs....

No comment. Our readers have already written on what I was thinking.

This is the same guy that claimed this about the iPhone 5:
"This is unlike anything we or anyone else in our industry has made before."
Do you think I will take anything he says seriously? I dont think anyone else should either.

I'm glad Google doesn't lower their standards like this guy and MS does.
41. gmracer1 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:39 6 1
Agreed.
Google has confidence. They don't need to go off on a tangent and cry--like Apple and Microsoft.
50. Droiddoes posted on 08 Mar 2013, 17:02 0 0
Yup. They need a sign that says "hardhat required: falling stocks"
40. gmracer1 posted on 08 Mar 2013, 08:38 3 1
Nothing but a scare tactic. Apple's stock is tanking and Google's stock is soaring. They b skurd.

This has come to the Mac vs PC marketing rant... pathetic Apple. I've used PC's for 14 years and never got a messy virus. I've been using Android for 3 years and no virus as well.

Desperate attempt by Apple.
But thanks for your concerns :)
