That's how Isaac Newton discovered the laws of gravity lol
 
Meh, I find it humorous.

Coming from a guy who owns two Macs, and an Android.
I had an iPhone before (3GS), and when the 4 came out, I switched to Android. I do think that the iPhone5 will be an amazing piece of phone, and once it's announced/released, I am willing to switch. But then I notice the OS, and it just doesn't work for me.... Therefore, I'm looking into another Android device that I can upgrade to, but have an open mind of iOS also.


My opinion on the matter.

Is it really that intense? Would you ever see an Apple user put a sticker on their car that puts down Android?

Notice there are no other stickers.

This position defines his very identity as he feels he needs a bumper

I almost pulled up next to him and debated him.

There is something wrong with society today where people need to pick a side and vehemently oppose the competition in order to justify their position. Whether you are an Apple, MS, Android, Linux, Honda, BMW, Rolex, Gucci, Prada, ..... fan, chill the hell out and just enjoy it. It is just a brand!

You are talking about 80% of the posters here.
 
When you take personal offense for someone else's opinion on your favorite company, you know you're a fanboy.

Could have been worse, they could have taken pictures of the offending opinion and posted it on a foru..... Oh, wait, they did.🙁

I have a sneaking suspicion that Bobby was hoping to incite an argument and flamewar. Thankfully, that hasn't happened.
 
It's all about personal opinion, but I'll continue to argue my point till the day android or apple ceases operations: I've never once personally met a person who switched to iPhone from android who still preferred android. I'm a graphic designer and design is huge to me. Then there's also the side of me that's a web developer.

Personally, NO ONE can argue that Apple doesn't have one of the best industrial design teams in the world and I also just agree with their stance on the web and HTML5 and CSS3 being the next big thing and taking over flash. It's gonna happen. Ask any web developer. There's just no reason for it. H.264 maimed it and css3 and html5 killed it. But enough about that. My point is that it's all about preference and always will be.

And my preference will always be Apple.

This position defines his very identity as he feels he needs a bumper sticker about it.

More than anything else, a hatred for one of the most popular, well-liked innocent, positive, innovative private company on earth defines their existence.

I don't want to see this driving down the street.

This was worth starting a thread? C-mon man, this is as nit picky as it gets. And to answer the bolded above..of course you would. You just havent noticed because it wouldnt mean anythiing to you if you saw it, but as a fanboy of Apple, you notice it.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I found the sticker to be quite hilarious.

The Apple hate is ridiculous. People hate Apple for no reason. Its always the people who don't own Macs too.

What I find funny is how the anti-applers always make comments talking about "fanboys" and "sheeple" even though they are the worst of the bunch.

Not to mention the "anti-apple" people also are generally not computer savvy or else they would know and appreciate all OS's instead of just limiting themselves to one.

It's like becoming a rapist because you don't have anybody disposed to have a normal sexual life with you. Frustration. Mac users just have a natural way to get things done, and feel satisfied that way. Android users have to tweak the crap out of something designed to make phone calls, just to make it work as an iPhone user would expect it to OOTB, and compensate that fact with feeling superior just because they had to use some 1337 h4x0r skills to make something work.

Obviously this does not apply to every Android user. Or every iOS user for that matter.
 
Its much like seeing those little Apple stickers on cars/notebooks/whatever back before the iPhone as a way of saying "I own Apple products, I think different!". Same thing here, except Apple is effectively the market leader and Android's the one trying to convince people to think different.

Most of the Apple people only wish they would have thought of this first! The are plenty of Android haters here. I like them both! The Galaxy S2 is something from the future compared to current iPhones and Steve had better step up or get stepped on.

You can NOT ignore the Android OS numbers, I bet Steve in not ignoring them.

The S2 was also released almost a year after the iPhone 4, so yes, it is something from the future compared to current iPhones... thats what it is, an iPhone killer.

Worst still, there is a continual slew of complaints here about discussions of other platforms but when an item is posted to flame other platforms, very few of those people that complain are against it.

Right. Shame on the large proportion of us who want to discuss the iPhone rather than other phones in an iPhone forum. And of course our problem with these posts is not that they are spam, but they we are uneducated and/or irrational Apple fanboys...

For the record, I and others who hold this opinion do complain about threads that flame other platforms if they are not relevant to the iPhone or appear to be trolling.

Maybe thats YOUR mindset and one that should be investigated. What normal person would use a rapist as an example?

Rape isn't about sex FYI, and besides the inaccuracies, the analogy is a bit disturbing.

iOS is better than Android mainly because it has a better track record and its app store is one of a kind.

Windows will still be eternally better than Macs. Alienware can drop Macs anyday if you want to compare specs. Macs for 1200$ has the same performance of a PC that is 600$-700$. Further more, compatibility is never an issue with Windows. The marketshare doesn't lie with Windows having 9-1 edge.

To add on to that .... I think comparing specs on PC vs Mac is completely differ than comparing hardware specs on phones/devices.

without doubt the most disturbing point of view I've heard expressed on this or any other forum.
