If its loss making then why are companies continuously releasing new Android mobiles. They should have shut shop. Samsung isn't even dominant where i live. There are many local brands releasing one Android mobile over another.

Anyway it seems useless continuing this. I suppose you would come back some other Apple this and that line. I just wanted to know where you got the stat. Since i am not getting any references i assume you made it up.

If the discussion was about dominant platform then its Android, numbers don't lie. The discussion was wrt simplicity.

My question was wrt to source of your stat.

And where are you getting the stat? Years ago maybe not these days. The newer $100 mobiles sometimes are way better then say 200-300 mobiles. And btw messaging would be a app. Nobody uses sms where i live. All are on whatsapp.

So changing the parameters again? Apple has good sales in countries which have subsidies. If majority are buying at full price i would have agreed with you. But the subsidized prices equal to mid-budget mobiles where i live India(Buyers here actually pay the high end amount for Apple). If android was loss making those companies would have quit already.

In my opninion Material is way better then iOS. " majority of mobile web " - statcounter, netshare already put chrome/android ahead!

Anyway the point was Apple UI is not always intuitive. I even didn't know that toolbar icons can be long pressed on my mac-pro for a long time!

And drag and drop is the simplest/intuitive way to copy files from medium to another which iOS totally messed it up.

Yes most android devices act like that. I see my device as a drive in the system. Drag and Drop nothing is more simpler then that.

Op had mentioned "Apple starts from the user experience" which users prefer hence they have great sales. I questioned since Android has far better sales. I don't know what profits have to do with user experience. If users preferred Apple approach should it not then have more sales?

How are they unsuable?

Don't iOS require some additional software to copy over files. When the easiest and simplest way is just drag and drop which is available for Android users.

If you go by sales wouldn't then Android figures indicate that their approach was better?

The whole OS file system yes. But for most non technical people the desktop would be the file system. They usually created folders after folders. Those are very easy to learn and understand.

What if driver has some issue with someone and intentionally drives over him (no alcohol or drugs on the driver), can they get away with it?

Does playing chess improving memory unrelated to chess gameplay?

Its actually pretty simple to implement on your own. I am not big of device. I feel it does too much magic. It should have been just a api layer and not touching views.

These seems like architecture level problems rather then framework level.

But you woudn't need gems to for recovery emails right?

What does colonial boundaries have to do with caste elders or anything related to this topic?

So you do not consider yourself Indian? Why not?

A state which has a disputed status, yet is claimed to be an "integral part" of India by the ruling political party - Its considered integral part of India by its citizens does not matter which political party is at power.

Why would bank websites require flash?

Whatsapp was a good strategic investment. Most of my friends spend more time on Whatsapp then facebook.

G+ tried to be too much like facebook social netwrok. Instead it should be like topic related like reddit more dicussions rather then memes. I do liek the communities and collections feature. The Android app is also very well designed.

I pointed it out since the Op mentioned high society-economic classes buy iPhones. When in reality most are not willing to pay full price. If you see a user using iPhone in India then there is a good chance that he belongs to high income class(iPhone is a status symbol here since most are willing to buy older models for less price).

Didn't Microsoft run ads on Google collection personal information. Now they are doing the same!

But newspaper carried ads as well. It is where i live.

"higher socio-economic status" - might be outside US but aren't the mobile subsidized in US. There was discussion in reddit about an article about Moto on how its going to change the way mobiles are purchased. One of the top commented reply was about people not willing to buy $400+ mobiles.

Are Blue-Rays/M-Disc reliable for long term storage?

This seems like the Tea stalls in India but better designed.

So why are so many companies jumping in if there were not much profits? I see variety of low end Android sold in India, surely they would exit if they don't make a profit.But many are now upping the specs and releasing good quality mobiles. I checkout out a 400ppi mobile with Android 5 which seemed better then my N4. It seems at least in India the mid to high level mobiles sales might fall back.

I had my SLR and mobile, but Google glass would have been more convenient.

I was touring some places in UK. Some of them incredible beautiful. I wished i had a google glass to record those moments and show then to my folks back home.

I don't know why you think React is complex. At its basic form you need to know render method. Its one of the simplist to pickup. I suppose you need to change how you view your page, as a bunch of components instead of dom tags. I have used it on complex single page app with Flux and without Flux along with simple small components for rails app. Now i don't feel the need to use JQuery but for the very simple single line ops(like hide, show etc). OfCourse i still use JQuery it for ajax.

Eveery UI is difficult for first time users. My 60+ years old dad is comfortable using Android. I even had hard time adjusting to Macbook workflow coming from windows laptops.
