In my experience, anti-Apple extremists are worse than Apple fanboys. (Case in point: this thread.)
And you must not be very bright if you didn't catch the irony in the post I quoted. (Another testament to your lack of intelligence is the fact that you just inadvertently called Apple lovers more intelligent than Apple haters. ) The guy I quoted is judging Apple and the Droid based on marketing, when much of this thread talks about how Apple is built on their marketing rather than actual products.
Ugh, and seriously, the random, senseless, and arbitrary Apple-bashing in this thread makes me sick. Are most of the posters in this thread below the age of 12? It certainly seems so.
WTF at your post. LOL. Firstly, encyclopedias don't give you synonyms; I believe you mean a thesaurus.Listen you.....there is no need for you to open that Encyclopedia Britannica and use all of your new found words and Syntactic expletives on me.
You asked a question and I answered....which should be more that enough for this thread to be honored by...

Secondly, is English not your first language? I apologize if I used "difficult" words on you. For native speakers ages 14 and up, the words in my post were not particularly advanced.
Syntactic expletives are words that perform a syntactic role but contribute nothing to meaning[1]. Expletive subjects are part of the grammar of many non-pro-drop languages such as English, whose clauses normally require overt provision of subject even when the subject can be pragmatically inferred (for an alternative theory considering expletives like there as a dummy predicate rather than a dummy subject based on the analysis of the copula see Moro 1997 in the list of references cited here). Consider this example:
"It is important that you work hard for the exam."
Um... okay... that was totally irrelevant. You decided to ignore all of my post except for the last sentence. You realize that I explained the irony, right? Since you didn't get it the first time and all.
Once again, proving your lack of intelligence... this is exactly why I don't post here often: XDA's forum seems to have little intelligent discussion. Great place for ROMs, terrible place to talk.
In response to rory, probably about half of the people whom I go to school with have Macs. And the iPhone is definitely the single most popular phone among students. And according to a survey by the newspaper team, something like 70% of students have an iPod touch. So, your theory about Apple users being "unique" is quite inaccurate. The reason for such high PC marketshare is mainly because of their use in businesses and their low prices. Older people who don't care what kind of computer they have buy the cheapest available -- a PC. I suspect as the younger generation begins to replace the current older generation, Apple's computer marketshare will rise by a substantial amount.

M_T_M; said:I get your point Da-vid....it's clever and informative but, I'm still shocked and appalled by the fact that you continue to insult me for no reason at all. Does it make you feel better about yourself?
And...if you must know.....English is my second language; would I get any pity from you now? Or you plan to continue with your attacks?........I'm waiting.....
Macs have a much higher resale value than PCs. That makes up for the higher initial cost, I think. And while I would agree that some of the students with Macs buy it because it's "cool," I know plenty of people who legitimately like OS X better than Windows.rorytmeadows; said:I would expect these numbers from students, who happen to be the most sensitive when it comes to self-esteem and image. I do expect a rise in marketshare, but not by a substantial amount. People hit the real world and realize that it's okay to have a Mac at home, but at a real job, it's not all that practical. Having a Mac and knowing what to do with it on the technical side gets you nowhere (except video editing careers, but that's a fantasy straight out of hippie land). Having a PC and knowing what to do with it does. Older people buy a PC because they care about money and practicality and don't worry about image as much as the younger folk.
