In China, the Apple brand on the iPhone is a status symbol. You’re going to have the Samsung device, which is a nice phone, or you’ll show your friends you have an Apple device. It’s like wearing a pair of Levi’s versus a Costco brand.
Does people pay the same price for both the phones there (like US)? I am just curious…

They will never learn
Just for fun, I mapped the pixel dimensions of a MS Surface onto the screen of an a new iPad.
For the nerds out there: That’s the surfaces 1366x768 display size bordered in red, inside the iPad’s 2048x1536 display. And I’ve scaled the whole thing down so it more or less fits in a web browser.

This build fixes a security issue with Adobe Flash.
Flash for Android dies tomorrow. It’s time Google killed it on the web too. I get their initial rationale behind baking it in to Chrome (security, mainly and the “complete web”), but now it’s just propping it up — and in a big way since Chrome is now the most popular browser.
But, but, but so many sites (and especially ads) still use Flash in some way, they’ll say. Sure, but if the world’s most popular browser ended support, we’d see that fade quickly. Just look at what happened on the mobile web thanks to iOS.
Google: let Flash die.
Please!!
