Comment Ridiculous rule (Score 1) 37

It takes a lot of effort to deal with these online stores, provide support for users, respond to comments, deal with all the 1 star ratings for all the esoteric one off issues, handling the ever-changing store mostly undocumented rules etc.

Charging on stores compensates for the time and effort spend - be it open source or not.

Apple usually advertise burst speed - at which they beat most other mobile processors.
Over longer runs Apple processors heat up quickly and don't do well on sustained performance. This might be due to the larger size of the chips than most comparable generation mobile processors.
When it comes to sustained performance and size of the die Qualcomm et al beat them by a mile.

I am not sure what is your glitch or why it is not fast for you.
I can say that Microsoft has really beaten the pants off Chrome with the release of IE9 as far as speed is concerned.

Its much faster for me than Chrome and now it has Ad blocking / tracking blocking, per site flash blocking, plays well with high DPI monitors among many other nice features.
I only wish they had made the 64-bit version faster too (but I can wait for the next release).
