You talking to me?

I could put the droid in my armpit and not lose signal

And I wasn't thinking of you with that. Their advertising practically says "if you are too stupid to operate windows come spend a lot more money with us! It works!"

OMG, we got Stevita Jobs here, you realize that shit was just sarcasm right? No the antenna issue is actually a major fucking flaw.

I was teasing. Honestly, using my Macbook is a real PITA as I am still trying to adjust from PC based stuff. I spend alot of time cursing, and searching the web to figure out wtf I just did. I DONT find it easier to use as advertised, but maybe I'm too old to adjust properly.

What the fuck ever dude. It does get old hearing all you folks that dont have iphones, i.e. dont know wtf you're talking about since you dont use an iphone complain about something you have no right to complain about. Like this article. "OMG, an alarm didnt go off and it's all Apple's fault, let's make national news about it".

Lots of phones have the issue. There's an article or few floating around that address it. And seeing as it was like .02 folks that had the issue, it's kinda a non issue.

Is there this much hate from the iPhone folks in all the droid threads? Didn't think so. Y'all can't seem to pass up any opportunity to hate on Apple.

Macs are crazy easy to get use to. They are pretty damn intuitive. Just slap fusion on there and run windows off it, if you want windows in some cases. That's what I do to do my vinyl cutting cause I am too cheap to buy a mac version of cutting software.

I have used the phone including the new iphone 4 for an extended period, I have also used ipod touches, which is the same thing without the phone. I got an apple geek as a friend/coworker so I hear about them all the time. I am not inexperienced in the world.

Apple makes the news like this because they try to put out the image that their shit never breaks. None of the the other companies do this. Steve Jobs usually makes statements about how his users are fucking morons because they don't use his shit right even though it is design flaws that cause the issue in most cases, like the antenna gate thing. The media likes to kick ole Stevie in the nads when shit like this happens because of his attitude.

This.

And, I have a few friends that go on and on about the "power of Apple." Personally, I don't care what phone or computer you use. Kind of like I don't really care who you fuck... It's all in that category of "Why are you trying to involve me in your personal choices"

Avatard · 01-04-2011, 02:35 PM

Lol...well put. I'd only add that if I can do it better and after without a phone or computer nowadays, I will reach for an old school dedicated device first.

I don't care how old it is, or how unfashionable...often hardwired devices are both simpler, and more elegant to use.

the chi · 01-04-2011, 04:35 PM

Yeah, I could care less about the apple image or Stevie, I just get sick of ya'll ranting about how bad they are when you aren't a user. I use mine every flipping day, I love it, and I don't rant and rave about ya'lls crap because it's not the same as mine.

I am seriously considering running windows on mine. Got a new P&S yesterday that I am in LOVE with, go to load the software, not MAC friendly, but if I had flipping windows....grrrrr.

VM Ware Fusion runs Windows on a Mac flawlessly...and virtually.
