Samsung’s 2010 Report Says its Galaxy Would Be Better If it Were Just More Like the iPhone

Authored by Samsung’s product engineering team, the document evaluates everything from the home screen to the browser to the built in apps on both devices. In each case, it comes up with a recommendation on what Samsung should do going forward and in most cases its answer is simple: Make it work more like the iPhone.

Shameless. Here’s the report in question.

P.S. Easter egg! First one to find the following quote receives a hug, or a shout-out.

Job titles

Over on my Facebook page, I put in “Writer” as my occupation, for Hurry up the Cakes. I got a kick out of it but it never really sat well with me. I am, at most, a person-capable-of-decent-writing, not a writer writer. I just listed myself as one because I always aspired to be one, and I’d get a kick out of pulling one over on new acquaintances. “Oh, so you’re a writer!” Um, yes, kind of! …

But alas, I am not. I can write, but I am not a writer. I am an actor, a teacher, an eater, a fan, a dork. I write in my journals, various notepads, and a website called Hurry up the Cakes.

Anyway, I adjusted my Facebook job title into something that paints a picture that doesn’t make me feel like a fraud. To people I have yet to meet: please adjust your expectations accordingly.

Sincerely,

Mikey Llorin

Mikey’s Eats – August 7, 2012

Scary rainy day. Terrible things happened in my country. I am lucky to have a safe, blessed home.

And I’m lucky to have damned good food. Thanks, mom.

Open-faced maple smoked ham on tomato and fresh pesto

…plus tomato, basil, garlic, and parmesan on angel hair

The only sad part is I’m much less interested in eating out these days.
