Lol. This man is a fan of Google's search technology, Samsung's display technology, and Apple's consumer technology. This man is not a fan of Samsung/Motorola/Google's iphone/ipad rip offs, or Apple's half-assed failures like Ping and MobileMe.
But since I actually have a preference in one category, somehow I'm a fanboy. Lol.
Yeah, and yet you list Google amongst the copycats and wannabes. Why? Because you happen to have a preference towards the competing platform?
A preference is one thing. An ignorant bias is another.
I prefer iOS over Android, yet I don't call Google a copycat and ripoff. I've used both enough to see that they're only superficially similar. Yeah, Google has ape some iOS features before. But hey, Apple has aped a few Android features as well. Yet, despite this, you don't see me calling anyone a copycat and a ripoff, nor complaining about either/or. If anything, I'd like to see these companies ripping each other off more.
