<article> <section class="page"> <p>Please, a moment of silence as we pour out of a bottle of the finest of malt liquors.</p><p>“Windows Phone dies today.” (https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/11/15952654/microsoft-windows-phone-end-of-support) (Tip o’ the antlers to @ericdano (https://twitter.com/ericdano/status/885125856523239424).)</p><p>C’mon, Macalope. Funerary rituals for anthropomorphized mobile operating systems are just stupid. I mean, who does that? (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/windows-phone-7-funeral-winmo-ios-blackberry,news-8002.html)</p><p>The Macalope is so old he remembers when it was predicted that Windows Phone would overtake Android in market share by 2013 (http://bgr.com/2011/05/10/windows-phone-will-beat-android-in-2013-analyst-explains/). By which he means he is more than six years old. (Yes, the Macalope knows he uses that joke construction a lot, he will stop the minute people stop making ridiculous predictions that are proven wrong so quickly.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3207750/ios/the-circle-of-life-iphone-killers-come-and-go.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: The circle of life: iPhone killers come and go (http://www.macworld.com/article/3207750/ios/the-circle-of-life-iphone-killers-come-and-go.html#tk.rss_all) |
