Dia are 2 major owners of stylus patents in d world:wacom(samsung pen and cintiq are products of dis)and n-trig(apple pencil and surface pen),which is owned by microsoft.

Both N-Trig and Wacom own patents on mostly pens relying on a digitizer that sense varying levels of pressure sensitivity. the core idea of a stylus goes back thousands of years, so just because it looks like a pen and draws on screen doesnt mean the technologies must be the sam and stem from only 2 companies. the Apple Pencil uses entirely different sets of technologies and sensors along with clever software to detect tilt, texture, force and motion and have nothing to do with N-Trig and Wacom. Miscrosoft also makes its own stylus separate from N-Trig's technology for its Surface Hub. Apple DOES NOT pay Microsoft royalties for its stylus since Apple was granted patents for its own stylus.

incase u dönt know,apple pencil is worth $99,while surface pen is $50.the $49 diff Is what apple pay microsoft 4 using microsoft intellectual property.

Moreover,ipad pro smart cover is worth $169,while surface cover is worth $130,the diff of $39 is what apple pay microsoft

Nope. Apple is not using Microsoft patents for the keayboard. The iPad Pro keyboard uses technology from the dome switch and scissor-style mechanism pioneered by Apple in the New Fanless Macbook. I dont know about the connection technology, but Apple was first with magnet connections from the macbook's Mag Safe connector, and the iPad 2's Magnet alignment tech in the Smart Covers.

martineverest:
....with all diz,i wont be suprised to see iphone 7 ane ipad pro 2 come with 'continuum' feature

No way. The iPad and the Mac are 2 distinct product lines; marrying them into a sort of omni-device will only cannibalize sales. there's no compelling reason why the mac should not exist alongside the ipad, or why OS X must be integrated into iOS. Both products serve diferrent needs. like i keep saying oevr and over, there is no reason to integrate OSX into iOS as this will only result into a clusterfuck of a confusing device.

With the whole drive towards Iot (Internet of Things) and Smart Devices, mobile OS/platforms such as android and ios are the only options as long as such smart devices require low power CPU and small thin form factors.

martineverest:
u talked about apple's newton,dont 4get dat apple took ideas 4rm windows xp tablets dat were made in early 2000.

This is quite true but only as applies to the ipad. in steve jobs' biography Isaacson mentioned how a bragging microsoft engineer annoyed jobs so much the Apple ceo swore to teach microsoft how to make a good tablet.

However, the Newton project was begun in 1987, and is considered one of the early pioneers of pen computing and handwriting. Palm, which looked like the newton,, came along in 1996. So, even the windows tablets which began life in 1999 came AFTER the newton. The first Windows XP Tablets were released in 2002!

martineverest:
Apple refused to make osx(tho,not torch base,she shud av taken a clue 4rm microsoft 4 merging ARM and x86 into windows 10 continuum)

Haha wrong! Microsoft MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT merge x86 and ARM. When surface was annoounced, microsoft presented two distinct hardware line ups: the Surface RT which was ARM-based and ran Windows RT, and the Surface Pro which was x86 based and ran full windows 8.

Later microsoft killed off the ARM Windows RT line of products to focus only on the non-Pro Surface 3 (x86, Intel Atom), and the Surface Pro 3 (x64, Intel Core i series).

Continuum is a software mechanism by which the windows OS switches from a desktop UI to a tablet UI, either manually or on-demand via triggers. So you can go from deskto mode, to tablet mode.

martineverest:
d OS of ipad pro because it will jeopardise d future of ios devices,macbook and macbook air;and reinforce windows dorminance(since most macbook users are fund of installing windows in dia system) especially in enterprise market

Hardcore and devoted OS X users hate seeing windows. The whole idea behind OS X is to avoid windows.

The people who use windows on Macs are the recent converts who migrated from windows to OS X but need some legacy app while they transition. They thus run windows by dual booting using BootCamp, or run it virtually via hypervisors such as VmWare, Parallels, or VirtualBox.

No true Mac fan would be caught dead running windows.

trishguy:
fact is that apple and every other tech company copy themselves one way or the other,for example the ipad pro is a balant rip off of the surface pro3 and the iphone 6s is nothing but a disappointment ...the only true innovative product apple ever churned out was the original iphone...ipod and the first ipad which helped in solidifying the prescence of tablet devices.......what is the difference between the devices in the two pictures nothing except tiny insignificant differences the first is the ipad and the second is the surface

I agree with some of what you say, but there are a few things we need to get right, and i thus refer to your points above.

1. I dont understand how Apple can rip off a product that came as a reaction to Apple. The iPad was invented BEFORE surface, so truth be told, surface ripped off iPad first. You'd have made a better point if you said Apple copied the Samsung Galaxy Note 12 inches.

2. The iPhone 6s disappointed a lot of people, yes, even I said so in my blog. But let's be honest: Since when has any iPhone S series being radically different from the previous one? First was iPhone 3G and the 3GS; then iPhone 4 and iphone 4S; then iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S; and now iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. Every "S" entry in the series as an iterative product that only advances the previous model in bits and pieces, for the same price point. Apple only updates the iPhone radically on a 2 year cycle.

The problem is we expect new crazy stuff every year, which is not possible given costs of technology, R and D, hiring engineers, patents, commercial considerations, and the need to avoid gimmicks.

what Apple has done is to make slight innovations behind the scene, while we're accustomed to regarding hardware redesigns or specs as innovations. Compare with the world of android: what most fandroids consider innovation are just specs. how is the nexus 6 more innovative than the nexus 5? everything is iterative, especially in the android world. Only samsung makes some efforts, but sadly most of those efforts are marketing gimmicks that have little real-world usability.

Maybe if we lowered our expectations, and stop narrowing "innovation" to physical designs and specs, we wont be so disappointed whenever apple makes minor upgrades to their product lineup.

I also ranted a fairly great deal on my blog about the seeming deception within the context of a huge insult to their fans. But with hindsight its the fans who make too many assumptions thus overfed their expectations since Apple didnt market anything before the announcements.

martineverest:
Stop all diz long epistle

yes sir.

martineverest:
u ve not answered d question i earlier asked.

I did., You were too lazy to read.

martineverest:
WHY DIDNT APPLE USE OSX(MAC OS) ON IPAD PRO?

OS X is a desktop OS requiring desktop chipsets, is not well suited for mobility, all day battery life, slim form factors etc. The OS X interface was also not designed for touch.

To answer your question, go back to when steve jobs announced the ipad. The reason for its being, says steve, was that there must be a 3rd category of device that sits INBETWEEN a laptop and a moibile phone, borrowing the best features of each device and making it better. Ipad was designed primarily as a CONSUMPTION device, not as a PRODUCTIVITY device. The focus is on entertainment (music, video, games, reading, email, browsing etc)

The productivity additions are a bonus when Apple realized it can adapt existing productivity suites as mobile chips get better to suit the mobile category so people can get some work done ON THE MOVE. it was not designed to replace traditional computing unless your entire computing activities fall within the scope of the consumer use cases described above.

martineverest:
and WHY DID APPLE PLAGIARISE MICROSOFT SURFACE TABLET?.

Plagiarism refers to stolen WRITTEN works, not technological cloning. i however know what you mean: Why Did Apple Copy the SUrface Pro?

But how? By being a tablet? By having a stylus? By having a keyboard?

1. By being a tablet: Ok, let's see. The Surface came AFTER the ipad. The surface (both Pro and RT) were announced in 2012, ipad was announced in 2010, 2 years BEFORE the surface. so who copied whom?

2. By having a stylus: Third party capacitive styli were available for the ipad since before the surface was announced. Apple also had a stylus in the Newton back in 1993. Also, if this forms the bedrock of your argument, can we also say Microsoft copied Wacom tablets?

3. By having a keyboard: All kinds of 3rd party keyboard cases were available for ipad that integrated the keyboard into the jacket and used bluetooth since before the surface.

1. Gorilla glass. Apple helped Corning revive the strengthened glass business.

ollah1:
Wtf is this? Where did you read this from? Samsung has being using Gorilla glass since the era of Galaxy S1

'It was brought into commercial use when Apple asked Corning for a thin, toughened glass; it was used in the new iPhone.'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass#History

2. Six degrees of freedom sensors via accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers.

ollah1:
This started way back in the era of Nokia

built into the n95, but not enabled for orientation switching until after the iphone.

"The first smartphones to feature built-in accelerometers–among them, the Sony Ericsson W910i and the [b]iPhone[/b ]–didn’t begin arriving atmarket until 2007-2008, right around the time the companies building them began filing motion-interface patents of their own."

http://allthingsd.com/20100324/motion-control-a-powder-keg-in-the-mobile-patent-war/

"The first phone with a gyro that matters was the iPhone 4."

http://www.quora.com/What-was-the-first-cellphone-ever-to-feature-a-gyroscope

http://www.livescience.com/40103-accelerometer-vs-gyroscope.html

3. Proximity Sensing

ollah1:
Nokia

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/in-a-win-for-apple-motorolas-proximity-sensor-patent-ruled-too-obvious/

4. Retina display

ollah1:
Grammar? What does Retina display mean?

high pixel density screen, as first seen on the iphone 4

ollah1:
So Samsung stole display from Apple?

Not the term, but the principle. every phone that comes after the iphone 4 touting pixel density on a 'retina' level owes it to the iphone 4.

ollah1:
i don die shocked grin Apple has used marketing term to take your cash away.

now you sound like a douchebag

ollah1:
No matter how "Retina display wanna be" it can never be like AMOLED from Samsung.

Apples to oranges. retina display refers to pixel density, amoled refers to a display technology. completely different things. you can have high density pixels on either lcd or amoled.

ollah1:
Btw, the same retina that is 750p. 2011 technology

every technology eventually becomes obsolete. your 1080p is being supplanted by 2k, and then 4k. As at when the iphone 4 came out, no other phone had its resolution and pixel density. After the iphone 4, every OEM started packing up the pixels and touting resolution.

5. Glass panel on back

ollah1:
This is innovation right?

It is. So innovative, it formed one of the key features that defined the term "premium". And didnt it form one of the signature innovations of the Galaxy S6/Edge and Note 5?

ollah1:
Well, sony has being having Glass back on their phones for years

Care to mention which ones, specifically?

6. Pentaband antenna integrated into the frame

ollah1:
Stolen from HTC, check below

The iphone 4 was released in 2010; the HTC One M7 in 2013. The iphone antennas were integrated into the steel frame while the HTC M7 has its antennas hooked via cables from a daughter board to the cover on the back in a traditional design. Different things.

7. Liquid metal components

ollah1:
Major OEMs do this

Such as who and who, in what components, and before or after Apple, which bought the major developer of Liquidmetal?

8. Sealed Battery

ollah1:
Innovation right

Absolutely. Since it allowed Apple to design consistently thin phones, before everyone else got on the bandwagon, including samsung. You yourself said as much with regards to samsung's S6. Apple started the trend right from the original iphone.

9. Touch ID

ollah1:
Grammer. Finger print is finger print and mind you, Motorola Atrix is the first phone with finger print scanner

Nope. The underlying technologies differ, in that the Atrix technology is the traditional swipe type of mechanism similar to the one on the Galaxy S5. Apple innovated the technology with an optical sensor and suddenly samsung, huawei, meizu et al hopped onboard. There's no denying this.

10. 3D Touch

ollah1:
Stolen from Samsung S4. Its the same as Air View and Air Gesture

Stop embarrassing yourself. 3D Touch is pressure sensitive interaction based on how much pressure you apply to the screen. Air View uses the proximity sensor to calculate contact-less gestures.

11. Taptic Engine

ollah1:
Its on most phones

Bullcrap. this first appeared on the New Macbook and the Apple Watch, and now the iPhone 6S. however you're free to name such other phones it appears on since "Taptic Engine" is an Apple trademark.

ollah1:
I really laugh when people shout Samsung copies Apple.

it does. Judge Judy Koh ordered samsung to pay Apple millions in copyright infringement.

ollah1:
What does Apple do? They don't copy right..

they do. but at the same time they've a roster of innovations in computers, phones, tablets and software. it's in their history, if you care to read. There's a reason steve jobs is well-known. who knows about the founder/CEO of samsung?

ollah1:
Their newest iPad pro is a rip of Surface Pro

Considering the ipad pro is just a bigger ipad, and the ipad existed way before the surface, i must disqualify your claims.

ollah1:
and their "pencil" rip off of "S pen" from Samsung

The Apple MessagePad released way back in 1993 had a stylus.

ollah1:
Whats the new thing happened has released since the demise of Steve Jobs? Apple is the greatest copier at the moment. From OS to Harware to Features

this is just asinine and not worth any response.

ollah1:
Do you have sense at all. Samsung bought Loop Pay. What did you expect them to rename it?

Something more imaginative and original.

ollah1:
Now tell me since you know more.. Wasn't Google wallet in existence before Apple pay at all

Yep. and it was POS that never had any mindshare even among the Android user base. Wallet crashed and burned, necessitating a revamping into the confusing Android Pay/Google Wallet offering AFTER Apple Pay proved successful.

ollah1:
and Samsung Pay is even better and more recognised cos it doens't need only NFC to work

Your opinion backed by no research.

ollah1:
All the designs on Macs is stricly thought by Apple and they didn't copy anything

It's left for you to prove that they did.

Bottom line:

Apple is making a ton of money, currently it has more cash than any other company, more revenue and more profits. While Apple is making billions, Samsung is losing money, and is on the verge of downsizing its workforce. The last samsung phone that made any money was the Galaxy S4! Says a lot about innovation, right?

Next time do a little homework before you come stomping and frothing all over the place like a typical android fanboy.

Bollinger:
They have a resident permit.

I seriously doubt that.

Im not hating, but "residency" means just that: you MUST be physically resident for a certain amount of time in a stretch. You cant have residency status and go live permanently in another country, especially since residency permit usually entails work permit as well.

And knoiwing these guys, they'd certainly tweet and instagram endlessly about it. They tweet about their shoes, for gawd's sake.

Bollinger:
But they did not buy it. They are not rich enough for that.

Quite likely. Most likely it's rented. like i always say, the nature of their business is based on a well-packaged presentation where certain promoters go into contract to polish up a celeb via expensive rented apartments, cars, clothing, etc paid for by the promoters. The celebs innundate us with these supposed riches so that we assume they're successful and generates online followership. Thus, they can easily charge thousands for tickets to shows and get endorsements. The earnings are then split, the promoter recouping his investments and the celeb getting a few millions to dump into their accoounts.

There's no way a mere stand up comedian in nigeria woiuld earn enough to buy a house worth over N40m, cars worth over N50m, constantly travel all the time etc. nor an actor when Nollywood pays peanuts, nor musicians who are besieged by piracy. When was the last time you actually BOUGHT a music album, or a film?

Bollinger:
It's a mortgage acquisition.

Could be. Except an alien with residency cannot access loans for mortgage when he's no work permit. Both residency and work permit require you to physically be resident for at least 3 years. A non-com loan requires 5 years. You also must have Forms I-766 or I-765, which you dont get if you've no intention of staying for any lenght of time.

Like i said, it's not as easy as it seems being a citizen especially when you're not even staying in the US bar very brief visits.

I never said Psquare are US citizens. I said they may have resident permit without us knowing. besides why would they put their private life on Instagram if they have US residency. Anyways, Psquare meet the requirements to be granted greencard because they each are worth more than $500,000. Anyone with over 500,000 in his account can apply for US residency permit. So if they are really serious about getting a US residency permit they will likely get it.
Also Psquare are international stars not just Nigeria stars. They make lots of money touring Africa, Europe and America. Infact they are currently on tour in the US. There is nothing wrong for them to own a house in the US.

Heck no! eb-5 Residency Permit is what you mean. you dont simply just have to have $500k, you must invest it into an approved Religional Center and wait 5 years.

Besides, given PSquare's penchant for flashing every single thing on instagram (shoes, jewelry, cars, houses, etc) there's no way these guys would have Green Cards and NOT flash it on instagram or twitter

Also, residency requires staying physically for a certain number of months in a stretch or you lose the permit.

Why are we even arguing about this? They bought a US home, good for them.

There is provision which makes acquiring citizenship by investing in certain areas of the economy easy.

True.

An investment of $1m and meet the requirements. You may be eligible to receive permanent residence based on investment if:

You have an approved Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur), and Immigrant Visa.

Look. If citizenship were that easy, almost everyone would be one.
