I don't think this World Cup will happen. Here in Brazil all major cities are having marchs and protests - some very violent - against the federal gov't. There are some news saying thatr FIFA has said that if protests make an evolution to a "Brazilian Spring" as it seems it's doing, FIFA will cancel the tournment. On Saturday, there was a huge violent march against Brazil hosting the WC, it's inflated cost and both Blatter and President Rousseff were booed to exhaustion.

Uh? You two don't make sense at all. Since when being a developer means that you have to opt for either iOS or Android? Most developers create apps for both, some even for Windows too. I don't work for Apple or am a dedicated developer.

Gosh, you fandroids are really misinformed, aren't you? Apple released iOS7 beta version for registered developers, for experimenting and improvement until it's released to the general users in September.

This article lacked the statement that it's based on rumours. Right now I pay $ 4.99 for two premium radio services to play music in our business. If this rumour proves to be true and it's better than the services I am using, I will swap to iRadio no doubt.

No, I don't. I only live in Brazil, where they talk soccer 24x7. And I have seen the lucky goal that was the Australia one against Japan.

I really don't understand this sort of comment, diminishing the efforts of the Japanese squad. In soccer and many other sports the luck factor is important, many times a player aims at a certain spot in the adversary's field and hits somewhere else winning a point. Better than cheating, like Maradona did with his "hand of God" maneuver.

I am here, to clarify you guys lost in misinformations that you read in your ugly desktop size smartphone, aka Galaxy. While Apple sues Samsung for using technologies that Apple did buy, without its consent - you may call this technology robbery - Samsung has sued Apple about a technology that is not paid and is - was - shared by them and other companies in an agreement that Samsung has now backtracked. Or, in clear words: Samsung steals Apple and doesn't stand up to its commitments. Ugly you Samsung, as your tacky devices. Tsc tsc...

Was an apple user, 30 mins with android 4 and I trashed the phone. Trust me open your eyes to what is out there and don't defend your clunky purchases.

@John Master: I don't care about GS design, I just have the opinion they are cheaply ugly. Yes, functions first, that's why I use Apple, it works. And Apple design is a plus. As I said many times, I need an OS that is clean and efficient for our business and personal affairs. Apple is the answer to that. But I doubt people will start wearing watches, or glasses to read emails. What I said is that between the two technologies the less annoying one is the watch, easy to forget you're carrying one. I would not wear tech-glasses not even if it was designed by Ferrari and used Apple technology. My reading glasses already are too clunky and obstrusive when I leave home with them on my head.
@Moondog: excelent point.

You know why you are clapping? Because I am a conscious buyer who invest my money only things that do work. Not things that work so-so. You know what I mean: Apple only. I bet in 3 years time we will see only , well, funny people wearing Google glasses. Not that iWatch will be a success. I doubt that too.

Brand-bias aside, Cook really made a point: people want to get rid of glasses, two of my neighboors have had lasic this year. For aesthetics reasons. I wear glasses, but only when reading. Can't imagine myself wearing one and walking down the street checking e-mails. But watches too, is something people are wearing for aesthetics reasons these days. I asked my nephew if he wanted one as a birthday gift, he declined. Personally, if I had to chose one of the technologies, I would opt for the watch. It's easy to forget you're wearing one when you don't need it. Not the same can be said about glasses. For those curious the last Apple US add, a man is supposedly wearing an iWatch, lots of sites of rumours published it.

Chucky, you apparently don't understand a thing. Where did you read that Samsung is not selling the phones it shipped?? If you could read, you'd see that what analysts are saying is that Samsung is boasting that the WHOLE number of sold G4 is actually the WHOLE number of shipped phones - which is a accounting trick, and in some countries, it's even a financial crime. Read again the whole article, maybe you can understand this time. Making easier for you: if Samsung were a shoes store seller, he would say that he sold 10 pair of shoesin a day to a client that actually asked to see the 10 pairs, but bought only one. But the seller describes to the accounting person that he sold the 10 pairs because he considers that by showing the client the shoes it's indeed a selling. Quite different, huh? As for the share comparison: go study the quality of shares. It takes some time, but you will understand.

@John Master, if had read it properly, you'd learn that it's FORTUNE analysts are stating that Samsung is going to ship 10 million units. Appleinsider is just one of the many sites that merely copied and pasted FORTUNE's article. If you don't trus Appleinsider, then google the article yourself. There are tens of different sites with the same article on them.

@chucky3176: as pointed by FORTUNE, there's a huge difference between sales and shipments numbers. And Samsung itself blasts these fantasy numbers to the world:

Japan is one of the developed countries without an ID system. I think that the hanko system is very archaic. In some countries you have your ID number printed in the driver's license, along with your photo.
