Wow do I have to explain it to you?

Samsung reports operating profit = Also known as "earnings BEFORE interest and tax" (EBIT) or "operating income"

Apple reports net income = AFTER TAX net income

"Samsung has not 'dethroned' Apple in profits"

"...someone pointed out that Kovach was comparing Apple's after tax net income to Samsung Electronics pre-tax operational income..."

typical mistake...

give it time, iOS 7 has been out for just a couple of days.

Android's been out for 5 yrs and it still feels rushed. ;)

Siri's search result UI is a game changer and has a real chance of disrupting Google imo. Siri's UI is customized for a mobile device, no ads, and it uses search results from Bing, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yelp and Wolfram Alpha. Missing from the list is Google.

All they need to do is somehow figure out how to add web search to Spotlight, use the exact same UI and Google's in big trouble.

Touch ID is more than just a convenient feature to make it easier for people to unlock their phones.

Touch ID could have widespread application. Think e-commerce, banking/finance, physical access control, etc.
