New south wales poilce are idiots...!!!
That doesnt make someting safe... the iphone isnt invulnerable. Also he doesnt seem to comprehend the fact that it can be lost easialy, or the fact that its sending your data over public airwaves or (usually unsecured) wireless networks
Think of how many stolen goods reports they get. I'm quite certain that they know how easily something can be stolen.
But Apple keeps plugging them, and pretty quickly.
And one would actually believe (arguably) the most corrupt police in Australia? Give me a break.
Now that one I hadn't heard. Why do you say they are corrupt (since I'm not from Australia I've no doubt missed the juicy bits).
I highly doubt that Dell would put together a machine that was unbalanced by putting in a bottleneck in the FSB, if that is what you are suggesting (which it seems it is). In any case, the FSB speed for both systems is 1066 MHz. . . Not that it matters (if you look into it more, I believe the speed does not determine the actual bandwidth, although I'm no expert). The point is that including video editing, music editing, and other software packages that most people don't use into the "price comparison" of systems is pointless. At that point, a price comparison is not useful because you are losing the userbase that doesn't care about your software packages (the ones you mentioned earlier) (which happens to be the majority of users, in my opinion). Take it or leave it, but there are obviously a good number of people that agree with me.
Oh, and I do not think that the opinion of a police organization is very relevant in computer science. (Although I hesitate to reject it right away, but I'm also too lazy to read it). :p
Dell buys components from other vendors. Their low price models often are less than stellar performers, as they use low cost components. Their top of the line machines on the other hand are pretty good. Any time you are doing a comparison, you need to check all the details, which is why I asked about the FSB. There's a lot that goes into a computer, and while one slow component won't usually mess up a computer that badly, it will have an impact on performance.
I didn't know that you didn't use that software until I asked. I do, so it's a value for me. And considering that Apple's sales are going up during a Depression, obviously a lot of people agree with me.
The cop in question specialized in computer crime.
There is exploits for both (and there is probably likely to be more for the iphone seeing as apple keep adding bloat to it e.g flash support)
Adding bloat? Where? Seriously. As to Flash, Apple will not be adding it to the IPhone. They have made several statements to this affect, but it seems no one listens. This is one of the reasons that Apple is heavily involved in putting together the HTML5 Specification, which removes the need for Flash and Silverlight for showing video.
