Live tiles vs widgets

[faniebraai]

This is as much a debate as any. Debating is about weighing arguments, asking questions, and tearing unfounded, subjective opinions to shreds. If a statement is not scientific fact, it's worthless.

Debate is not two howler monkeys screeching their opinions at each other as loud as they can, waiting for one to give in.

so let's define debate:
a formal discussion on a particular matter in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward and which usually ends with a vote.

opposing arguments.... opposing arguments....

i said android is the best.... you said... o wait, you didn't pick a side....

The "best OS" and "best phone" are subjective and differs from person to person, depending on their needs. You cannot selectively compare certain hardware/software aspects or add weight to certain features that you personally deem more important to arrive at a "general" best.

Really? That was your point? ok. fair point. that's not what it looked like though.

How long will you keep this farce up? You stated (many times) that Android is the best OS. I argued that it is impossible for you to arrive at that conclusion due to people's different tastes and needs. That's the debate. Debate does not mean I have to say that iOS or WP is the best. You just don't seem to know what a debate is.

Correct. Here is the issue. I was arguing with someone else, and you were someone else. Then you saw something you wanted to comment on in my argument, quote the part the suited you and then ran with it. But that's fine.

Let it go. You've won.

this reads like one of those philosophical debates

Fanie, go play with your *** useless S5

I don't believe you for one second.

Looks like a clone account to boost Windows Phone.

@ kingrob,

I'm not here to justify or satisfy your beliefs, nor am I here to "boost Windows Phone".

Instead of making yet another assumption, try backing up your "guarantee".
Saying user 'X' has had 'Y' amount of posts in 'Z' years is a 'Clone' is rather poor.

ignore kingrob, he's just pulling your leg.

why do you feel the need to post "Regards, sYk0" after every one of your posts? It's like sending a whatsapp and then immediately afterwards sending another one that says 'your turn!'

You know your name is like right there... there... look... beside your post!

I'll be honest and say I started skimming when it became a mud slinging match.

Anyway, WP not for me either but that's just because all blocks does not work for me.

You never even uttered those words.

Well it is, should not even need to be mentioned.

Lol @ fanie.dry,

I will try refrain from signing my posts (it comes out of habit from typing emails).

Although, if I don't sign them how would you know they aren't from a cloned account... Or is it cloned accounts that always sign off? hmmmm

Thanks for the entertainment everyone, it has been fun!

PS: iDroidFoxBerryMobilePhone is the best OS!

That's exactly it. It depends on how you use your phone and what is important to you. For example, I very rarely watch videos on my phone let alone movies, but if you do then that widget on kingrob's phone is amazing.

We can sit here all day and argue over which is better, but I've said it in a different thread as well, I reckon Android, iOS and WP are all on about the same level now and you just have to pick the one you personally like most. It's a good time to be a consumer

A very fair reply to a very subjective issue.

Basically, in my opinion the amount of information on the screen of my phone at a glance is what makes live tiles so useful and much better than widgets to me. I find widgets to use too much space, rendering them basically useless to me, owing to the limited amount of utility I would derive from them.
