Apple should take your advice.


Ill reword it slightly and direct it at Apple:

Apple isn't better. People are stupid. Stupid people think that if you pay more for the same thing it makes you cool. Stupid people want to be cool, probably in hopes that other stupid people won't think they are stupid.

Apple makes nice stuff. They do. But they charge 2x too much, at least for their computers. They parlay this into a "designer" brand (Like Calvin Klein or Hilfiger etc.) and then EVERYONE "has" to have their stuff. Doesnt matter if it costs more or less or whatever. Sheeple. Listen to the bleat!

Exactly.

But you have to understand that the production of "hate" for a successful business is the Asian companies way of competing. Instead of litigating, which they have no excuse to do because they infringe the products of non-national companies, they resort to inflammatory tactics. It takes a lot longer and is very unreliable, though.

No, I think that gives him too much credit.

He had a thread last night that virtually equated Google to the Jesus of technology. I can't find it now.



...Weird how this was moved. I know it's not relating to "phones," but XDA has discussions on tablets as well as phones, right?

Thumbs down United vs the fruit

As a Mod:
Normally all fruit company threads end badly, hope this one can be the exception, letīs try to keep on topic (even if off topic).

As a regular member:
I believe in fare competition but what is doing that fruit is not fare, it deserves all my hate
orb


HTC Butterfly - HTC One not coming... - HTC Universal Tomal WM 6.5

XDA is about developing and is for developers. Any user that recognises that will gain the most benefit from this site


 
This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Previous devices: HTC: Treo 650 - Excalibur - Diamond - Diamond 2 - Maple - HD2 - Rhodium - Desire Z - Desire HD - Vivid - Sensation - One V - One X - Titan II - One X+ - DNA

They do seem to ignite an almost religious debate; however, Apple is deserving of a strong message.

I had once contemplated purchasing an iPad. I contemplate no longer...
