Daniel Eran Dilger is a ranter — but a ranter who builds a persuasive case by (often sarcastically) citing facts, history and numbers. I have a lot of time for him. I appreciate his attention span.
This very dense paragraph (below) is from one of his wonderful takedowns — in this case of a pliant business press — Bloomberg — being fed optimistic-to-the-point-of-misleading … pap (and liking it!) to regurgitate to the ‘investment community’. Bloomberg’s breathtaking propaganda piece suggests trouble for Samsung (Roughly Drafted Magazine)
Enjoy.
But if Samsung can find a new customer with an appetite for billions of dollars worth of RAM and SoCs and the cold hard cash to pay for building the production capacity years in advance, it shouldn’t find it too hard to also ditch Android for a reliable operating system with the security credentials needed to be accepted by the enterprise and the development tools and established user base to provide it with a software library competitive with Apple’s App Store.
Awesome. Too bad for Bloomberg‘s Jun Yang, Anand Krishnamoorthy and Jungah Lee. Dilger’s piece is a total down trou.
I would not like Dilger on my case.

PS I admired a friend’s Samsung smartphone (complete with smashed screen) this afternoon on the way back from the beach after swimming and boating with three boys. He said that was the second one he’d smashed (believe me, I’ve seen smashed iPhones too).
One of the boys said “My dad’s been through six iPhones” which made me gasp as I’ve yet to smash one, despite some close calls. (I’ve had three — 3G, 4 & 5 — since they were launched here in 2008.) “But four of them he dropped in the ocean,” he said. His dad is a harbour pilot.
Looking into this Daniel guy. it took me 5 minutes to discover he’s a typical spineless Apple Fanboy A***hole.

Apart from the vile at which he uses to communicate with.
Your shill like blindness is no different to Mr Slater you feel your above him by your level of maturity of approach, and I would agree. your technique is more difficult to implement and takes a few more brain cells and he is sometimes rude for the sake of being rude.
However this still does not cover the stench that is double standardizing complete Shill like tactics promoting topics that suit your/their views or slagging the opposing.
Wow, what a strange, apparently ANGRY reaction my post … which, as I see it, was just a pointer to a strident (I’ll grant you) but interesting, well-written D.E. Dilger article about Wall St investors being snowed by an overly-optimistic/misleading-in-all-sorts-of-ways ‘story’ about Samsung’s future business prospects now that its losing its biggest customer.
Daniel Eran Dilger may be a fanboy (may!) in your terms (I’ve repeatedly said I am one, and laid out my reasons) but spineless? What?

You seem to be operating under a deep, deep misapprehension about what I seek to do via my blog.
It’s nothing more than a living collection of items and thoughts that interest or bother or encourage or tickle me … and that I think may interest others.
If that seems like “the stench that is double standardizing complete Shill like tactics promoting topics that suit your/their views or slagging the opposing” … oh well.
I also try to be honest about it. You seem to disagree about that too. – P
