Ekat,
You too easy with your compliments and giving them out to yuppies?
I test drove a prius and Rav 4 in 2009. The choice is quite simple for offroad use.
In Jan 2015 I build an electric bike from scratch. Since the bike got rolling wheels, I have put 5 tanks of gas in the Rav4 and most of these were for hauling the bike to the rugged 2-track for accessing remote climbing areas. 56.6 mph top speed and about 40 mile range at 30mph. It can move on flat no wind at about 12wh/mi grace fully packing my big ass at 12 mph.
Now Curt cannot petal his green unit when tank is empty and battery is dead. But you cannot criticize a guy for the clothes he wears even if they miss some marks?
the bike is a dopamine machine. No need for anandamide.

I walk in the door and my iPhone syncs over wifi, my wife's and my photos are on both our phones and on our apple TV for the big screen. Super simple to setup. Almost never have issues. I tap facetime and video conference my parents or inlaws, and I didn't have to do anything to help them set it up. I have some android devices too and they are good but not in the same league. A lot of it is what's the value of your time. I could probably setup the android devices to do what the apples easily do, but that would take time. I'd rather pay a little more and have apple's well usually well designed software do it for me. Siri works pretty good especially for calendar appointments and directions.
The android apps crash a lot more and require more frequent reboots. My apple devices run for months a time without a reboot.

Even expert Jaybro could not figure out how to do the transfer I couldn't cut and paste?

DMT:
GTC: To put the Nail though Coffin -- Apple LIED.
All other facts of however good their products are/was cannot erase the overstatement they made about their security.
address the issue? Why would a company quite far ahead of rest of the pack even need to say such crap as invincible security? I guess they could come out and admit saying such crap talk was done to avert would be hackers knowing very well how lousy their security really was?
Curt there is a college major Marketing usually in the College of Business that is all about manipulating product and public image. It about how to sell your product -- fool the consumer -- and it works. Quality/$$ exits only to those with the skills to ferret out the imposters and make real measurements.
It has been enjoyable seeing a bunch of adults squirm and wiggle inside that Apple coffin advancing every argument conceivable to sustain some image of Apple but grossly fail to address what has gone on.

All those folks working to make a product that shares photos well most of the time. Fukkkin' amazing.
Apple is the single most responsible entity for the proliferation of ".MP3"
For this alone they should be punished at least equally with all those women having abortions.

Today in History: Apple Computer was founded
By The Associated Press
POSTED: 04/01/16, 3:37 AM PDT | 0 COMMENTS
Today is Friday, April 1, the 92nd day of 2016. There are 274 days left in the year. This is April Fool’s Day.
TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS IN HISTORY:
On April 1, 1976, Apple Computer was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne.
When I first came to Ca I rented a duplex in Mtn View owned by Steve Jobs parents. I would often stop by their Los Altos home to pay my rent. I often saw the "boys" tinkering. Who knew????

No, Apple never said it was unbreakable. They said they shouldn't be compelled to break it by the government.

five thirty,
...but it's basically always false
I totally agree with the above declaration but I would avoid putting myself on hearsay substantiation about what some company would or would not do.
So much so that I doubt Apple actually said that.
you are quite a hedger -- you make me laugh

DMT,
perhaps you could tell me how you got the line of bullshite you posted in the thread:
Terrorism: When it come to terrorism unlock the iphone.
about how secure the Apple iphone was with its encryption etc and the need for you to have secure data?
Monolith:
No, Apple never said it was unbreakable.
Could you give me the database of all Apple has said so as to substantiate your use of never . Or are you just blowing out your A?

So despite my misgivings the missus and I decided to get new iPhones. I
backed both the oldies up via iTunes to the puter. Got the new phones and went
to restore them but only the missus' got restored as somehow my old phone's
backup data went POOF! No trace of it. Thanks, Apple!

Through iTunes onto the desktop. I just had a knott in my stomach
walking into the Apple Store knowing something was wrong, besides
laying out almost 2K for a couple of freaking phones. It seemed that
the backups went smoothly although, of course, there's no way to check
other than doing another backup which, in hindsight, would have been
WAAY TO EASY AND SMART! DOH!

I bought a new computer. All my music is on my iphone. I want to download my music TO my itunes on my new computer. F*cking itunes doesn't seem to allow this. The only option seems to be to erase my iphone's library and download music from my computer.
If there's a way to do this via itunes, I'll do it. But I really hate itunes. If someone can recommend a free, user-friendly music manager, I'm interested.
Foobar2000 looks decent.

Sorry, iTunes treats your phone as a read-only cache for music, so the data only goes one way. That works for most people, but it's very much not what you want. If I were you, I'd use Foobar 2000 or whatever to pull the music off your phone, then add it all back to iTunes, and sync your phone. As bad as iTunes on Windows may be, it will probably be easier than using random third party stuff.

BITD I went with an apple phone over android and have generally been happy with that decision. At the time, the touch screen was much better and it was generally took less fussing. It either supported something and it was simple or you couldn't do it and there was no bother. Android seemed like you could do anything but everything was at least a minor hassle.
iTunes and it's read only approach to smart phones was designed as a commerce decision, to prevent copyright violation and piracy and to drive sales to the music store.
But iTunes is really annoying and glaring exception to the easy to use apple approach. I uploaded some music I had on CDs to iTunes to get it on my phone, but I never bought any songs through iTunes. I'm glad with that decision.
I suppose in general iTunes has worked out for Apple. It certainly didn't in my case. For music on my phone I'm doing Google Play, mostly because it also gives you YouTube without advertisements.
The last time I bought a tablet, I wanted the lightest weight tablet for the given screen size and I wanted to be able to copy old movies that I had on my hard drive so I could watch them on the airplane offline. I would have gone with Apple, but there is no way in hell I was going to deal with iTunes when android let me plug the tablet in and drag and copy my movies over.
