Mods, who do I make a new forum request to. I would like a " I have never used an Apple computer, but I hate them. I have never used an iPhone , But I hate it. I have know nothing about their products or their customer service, but they suck. " forum.
Just so we can consolidate the hundreds of " I hate Apple threads " here at XDA. Or why doesn't XDA just fire up their iphone-developers domain and we can stick them all there.
Apple is a great company, I have been using Apple/Macs for 30 years without a crash or hitch. I have 5 Macs, 2 iPods and an iPhone yet unlike most Windows users I don't feel the overwhelming need to bash M$ every chance.

Most of us have a complex that makes us not WANT to like them. So we ride out the put-downs that make us feel better about our loyalty. I don't want to like the Jonas Brothers, so I don't listen to them, turn them off whenever they come on, and make fun of those that like them. I'm sure that if I listened to all of their music, I'd fine at least ONE song I'd like, but then again, I'm also not interested in buying a dozen d*ldos to put up my a** either.

I'm not laughing at you, but I wouldn't think it's a good idea. A large display for sensory needs is different than a large interface for sensory needs. Make the display on the floor and the interface on a 13" panel on the wall, then you have a nice setup.

Well yes, I knew it wouldn't work directly, hence why I said it would need to be designed differently, but yes your right
Being an MS person and bashing Apple (or vice versa) makes you feel like you are part of a community, and that people sitting on the fence will just get caught in the crossfire and drawn in at some point anyway.
I personally think that Apple products will continue to become more ridiculous. The iPad is pointless in my opinion. Tablet PCs aren't popular anyway. Next thing they'll probably do is give the iPad some kind of phone functionality!
Aesthetically Apple wins hands down I think, because they look so awesome. Although saying that there are some Android phones that look really really nice, so maybe its a sign that Apple may be threatened in the looks department!

I agree... But remember, it's a GATEWAY DRUG OMG YOU MIGHT GET HOOKED ON CRACK! Heh.
As for the "gateway drug" idea, I've been smoking pot for like 5 years now (20 years old) and refuse to touch anything else. It's safe, it makes me feel good, why do I need other drugs?
In fact, if you believe commercials, it makes you shoot your friend with your dad's shotgun because you don't know what you're doing, it also makes you jump out of a window and drown in a pool while babysitting. It's amazing how the worst thing I've done while high is pass out, wake up and eat a ton of food... I guess I'm the exception.

Great pic mate! LOL
If in all world this can be a normal reality, I´m sure that consumism will drop and a lot of "Legal Buisness" will go down...
This plant has been used since the human is on this planet. Also if you know a little about the human body, there is a "Canabis receptor" in our brain...
So the problem is not the plant, is how we use it!
Legalize it!
You can see in Holland compared to any other country the consumism rate is very low (Of course does not include all the foreigners travelling there to try it)

a great truth
While I have nothing again using drugs of any kind, including alcohol (my personal favorite), I refuse to use the non-legal type for a simple reason: they would taste & smell like blood. In my country the drug gangs are heavily armed and often fight for control of the distribution points. The problem is that these reckless and ignorant bastards don't just kill themselves, they actually take out a lot of innocent people in the process. I can't conceive giving money, even one cent, to an industry that eventually will kill me at random or those I love. If drugs were free then...
That's a good point, dgaud007. Thankfully, where I'm from, the marijuana is grown by my friends, so I know it's ethical. They're technically criminals I suppose, but they're just regular guys with regular jobs, very nice.
(PS Technically, aren't we from the same country?)
Well you probably are gonna get much reply from us SINCE ITS ILLEGAL lol.... but hey obama is president now hahaha

Valid point there, but it seems to me to be an argument for legalization.
Or for home-grown!
The only ppl that want it legalized are the potheads - which would be the reason why they drive to have it legalized. It's more of a intellectual downgrade than a beneficiary.
Can't say I do, but won't say I never have

Really? Michigan just voted 63-37 to have medical marijuana legalized. Are you telling me 63% of Michigan are potheads? Massachusetts voted 65-35 to decriminalize marijuana, so now anything under an ounce is just a $100 fine. Is 65% of the state of Massachusetts potheads? The fact is, people see it's harmless and have no problem decriminalizing or legalizing it, whether they smoke it or not. Please don't bring your biased opinion here when you have no more experience with pot than what you see on commercials.

Haha oh, okay... What it does to people? What, exactly, is that? I'm not arguing the fact that you don't want to smoke it, I don't care if you do or not, but saying only potheads want it legalized is a statement that isn't even opinionated, it's just flat wrong unless you think more than 6 of 10 people in 2 different states are potheads.
What's the difference between General and Q&A?
i would imagine one is for general Nexus One information (touchscreen issues, USB Driver info)
while this one is for Q&A - where do i plug it in to charge it, can i use a stylus, can i root it, things of the like.
Yes, and for gathering How-To's, guides and the sort.
I think its a conspiracy by the small douche sect of xda trying to create more opportunities to berate people for not using the search function or posting in the wrong forum. Hey I guess if people don't have a purpose in life we can't blame them for trying to create one. To each his own right? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum...
Don't know if you're just trolling but there are separate sections and a search function for a reason: so that people aren't asking the same questions ( that have already been answered) over and over again.
The other reason is that clear categories/sub-forums help you find the correct information faster.
I like the new layout because if I want to know about apps/themes, there's a forum.
If you're too stupid to figure out the different between Q&A, Development, Accessories, Theme/Apps, and General Questions, should you really be on a modding/hacking forum?

Apple, if they needed a reason to go after HTC, and by proxy Google, may have had it in marketshare numbers. Android's growth has been pretty spectacular over the past few quarters highlighted by the graphs below from Quantcast, a web analytics firm.

While iPhone is clearly the market leader in Web consumption with over four times the share as Android, its nearest competitor, recent trends show that they aren't standing on firm ground.
In the last month the iPhone has lost 3.2% of its marketshare compared with RIM and Android both gaining considerably. This isn't just a monthly blip either, at least with regards to Android. Google's phone market has grown 44% over the past quarter and almost doubled over the past year while the iPhone has lost around 5% and 10% of the overall market over those same periods.
The iPhone is still gaining users and pageviews, Android is just gaining so much faster.
According to some sources, Steve Jobs recently told an Apple Town Hall meeting:
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s BS.” Audience roars.

Before you read any further down in this thread, look HERE.
Imagine that! Apple is LITERALLY in denial. They're blaming the USERS for Apples ignorance in the Mobile Device World. When will the Apple users learn that their devices ARE HUGE PILES OF CRAP!?.. AND ACTUALLY ADMIT IT!?!?!?! FAIL.
Here's the Reality: *When Apple tells users not to hold their device as they see comfortably fit is the day that the sheep get prodded once more.. and all the sheep go back into their state of denial, following the trend of IDIOTS around the world who actually continue paying for Apples Stupidity. Apple has never been #1 in the world for anything besides failure, and that shall never change.
[*And hey, that happened TODAY... run along little mindless sheep... go back to your Apple Tree and cry]
Smart Choice: Buy something that doesn't have a FRUIT LOGO ON IT!!! And they day you do that is the day you'll look in the mirror and laugh at the previous you for falling for an over-budgeted advertising scheme and following the rest of the sheep. Forget Apple and you'll be human again, not an ignorant waste of [male mating juice].
God help all Apple users around the world, allow them to lose the blinding curtain of stupidity that floods their vision. And allow them to once-again think for themselves.
There, I feel better.
What are your thoughts on this issue? And be honest...
[At Staff: If this thread is simply TOO much, feel free to delete it. I just thought it was time for Apple Fans to step into reality.]
Agent Zach
I've been reading your posts for sometime now and in "some" occasions don't really approve or side with your opinions but this time...buddy...right in the nose.
I'm still in awe about the way Apple does business, taking advantage of people just because they are the company that once revolutionized the computer industry with personal computers. It’s like buying a cell phone from Fidel Castro using Hugo Chavez cell company…a marriage made to match.
Just like sheep I tells ya, sheep!!
I was shocked a flaw this big gets through product testing, and then they tell you not to hold it that way? That's it? A flaw that doesn't allow you to use the phone as a phone is a HUGE problem, and Apple won't acknowledge it.
Of course they won't. Why take the blame when they can blame at&t some more.
After reading some reviews, etc.. it seems even the WiFi loses signal when held in hand.
And I'm sure at&t isn't logged into every router in the world... or are they? [We already know Google was once. ]
It's just another fail strategy by the reincarnated Adolf Hitler {Zhe Fuhrer} [Steve Jobs].
if you dont like apple products then thats your problem why do you want the ppl to stop using apple???its a personal choice...not your choice....
All-in-all, I don't want people to stop using their Apple products, I just want them to stop lying to their friends, family, and even THEMSELVES.
Besides, when someone walks into my home with an Apple product, it makes me feel better about about my device, knowing that it works the way it should and they I want it to. Apples devices, on the other hand, work the way Apple wants them to, not how the user wants them to...
are you envy of your friends iphone dropping signals? theres an app for that! lol

Dear Apple,
I was talking to a friend and she solely bought Apple products because they were branded "Apple" despite the ridiculous price and low specs. Call me a hater/whatever but I still don't like Apple for this sole reason.

That's what my whole family does.
Me: I got a new phone.
Aunt: What kind Apple?
Me: No. Samsung Vibrant
Aunt: What is that? I never heard of it. It must not be good since it's not an iPhone.
Me: No. It's better than the iPhone. It's android.
Aunt: Well, it's not apple so it's not GOOD at all.
Blah blah I asked her why the iPhone was so great, she said it's APPLE. blah blah blah.

Apple customers just like being abused.
I hate apple because the metal on teh side of my ipad is chipped and i cut my thumb on it
The word sue comes to mind
The only reason why apple is so successful is its (blame me for being a hypocrite if you feel like it):
1) propaganda (oh apple is cool and all that crap)
2) amount of dev's coding apps for it
3) low specs (haha), but great software utilization...[one part that htc fails at])
4) (redundant) but it's immense amount of apps.. again..
LOL. Reminds me of the argument I had with my co-worker when I got my Incredible. He was telling me that the iPhone was the best phone out there. When I asked him why, he says because of the nice icons.
I didn't know how to respond but to laugh.
This video is an accurate portrayal of him and a lot of iPhone guys I know. lol
If all the apps ever made for iphone were ported to android , this will create the most humongous market for android any phone company has ever seen ..
Android is the new green guy on the block, give it a year more, the app world will blow iphone away .

I had to buy a MacBook pro recently, not because its better (although the build and quality is top notch and just about unmatched) but because I needed it for iOS development. I hated how expensive it was for so little spec wise. $400 for the 8GB upgrade WTF! If it wasn't for me requiring OSX, I'd probably never would own a Mac computer.
That said, their phone's are great no matter how you look at it. Antenna **** up aside, most of the drop call blame should squarely be attributed to AT&T. It's a AT&T/US issue.
Now dont get me wrong, I don't blame anyone for hating the US iPhone due to its crappy service because IT IS a legitimate issue. I also don't blame anyone for hating the Apple brand because of it's positioning (style over utility). But when it comes to the iPhone, they got it right.
I was a Palm OS and WinMo user long before all of this, and many of you probably were too. But the original iPhone was such a huge leap forward in terms of what a smart phone user experience should be like. It wasnt as versatile as WinMo but what it made up for in day to day experience was well worth sacrificing some of the utility.
Today iOS 4 has progressed to a state where you pretty much can't complain. The user experience is still top notch and only matched (and maybe even succeeded) by WebOS, and the utility that used to be missing is now there. The phone itself is quality (of course with its issues like almost any other phone). The specs are aggressive, competitive and well priced unlike their other products.
What made the iPhone good is now being matched or exceeded by others (Android/Web OS). But like I said, it has progressed and still is one of the best mobile OSs out there. Hell even the jail breaking community is not much different than what goes on here.
I own both the EVO and a iPhone 4, and if there's one thing that the iPhone still does better, it's giving a amazing experience straight out of the box. I have to spend hours and hours to get the EVO running competively, and I'm still waiting on some things to come through via the amazing developers here, and while I could (and probably should) jail break my iPhone 4, I haven't yet. It runs great as is. And that's a large part of what's keeping the iPhone slightly ahead with non techies.

Because its a great device that meets and surpasses the needs of many... can't believe that's a serious question. .trollololol.
Why when someone mention iPhone android owner bash them. But clearly iPhone is better than android?
Excellent branding and customer loyalty!

It's a functional device out of the box. The general population doesn't have the time to root and customize their device and flash ROMs. They don't care about "making it their own". They just want a fast and functional device without any tweaking.
It's a walled garden...sure...but most people don't care.
It sells 2 million in a weekend for many reasons. First. and foremost it has a large fan population, hence a population who are dedicated to the iOS. Two. the delaying of announcement has increased the fan base's anxiety and desire for the iPhone hence sudden burst in demand.
And why do Android users hate iPhone users? From the same reason you think iOS is the best. The same mindless people in both groups. It is the most narrow minded and uninformative statement which shows your level of knowledge and understanding of software or comparing things at hand.
No software is the best, best is dependent on the situation at hand. Yes they may have an advantage over another in certain areas, but it ends there, still a stalemate. You think i should get a cashier or a barcode scanner system for a lemonade stand because it offers the best management system on stock? No im wastingmoney on something I'm only doing today, get the point? f not I'll elaborate even more with my post below. Btw english does not seem to be your first language so I apologize if you cannot understand it.
Oki so now lets put iOS in the hands of someone who knows his way around UIs. Think he's gonna enjoy the simplicity iOS over the functionality of Android? Why not ask the forum if you can't think of the answer.
Now do you think a beginner computer user would prefer android? Judging from your perspective you'd say no, and I completely agree with you. A beginner would not even think of pressing a arrow pointing up or a three row and column square as the app drawer. All from my experience with my friends.
Get the point now?
Because they all are islaves man! There coming to get the rest of the world! Lol

To circumvent stupidity I'm just reposting the post I made in a similar thread.
Just because you're fanboys doesn't justify blindness... Unless you're blind fanboys and in that case why do you have a touch screen phone?
jokes aside, iPhone doesn't sell strictly by brand. It is a device who's hardware (not internals but aesthetics) are unrivaled aside from a tiny screen. The build quality is superb and doesn't feel like it was haphazardly glued together like HTC devices or like Mattel built them like Samsung devices. The only hardware company that rivaled iphone's build quality is Nokia and they're onboard with WP7. Next, the OS is infinitely more fluid than android. On average an android device on the UI runs around 22-27 fps where iOS is a steady 60 as far back as the 3gs. It's optimized for it's superb hardware and it shows. Next, fragmentation isn't an issue. I can play infinity blade on a 3gs just as well as a 4gs and 2 years in the real world is like a century in the tech world. Overall it is a higher quality product for gaming, media, and basic phone functions. If you only get your phones to mod then android is for you but for quality, WP7 or iOS.

How that happened? 2 million or 5 million? If that is true Android is way out of Apple's league.

I think there are 2 reasons why Iphone 4s sell like hot cakes...
1) Many royal users had been waiting to upgrade their iphone 3GS/4.....that's why Apple miss their Q3 forecast ;-)
2) Steve Job sad news - created some impact also.....

who cares why they sold more. Who cares why they are considered best. Lets allow windows and and android to exist. I have my reasons for preferring android. but lets consider for a moment how many jobs These devices create. Lets also consider the choices the devices provide.
If the iphone and Ios are the best why doesnt every other maker give up. We really only need one phone right. Cases will make them look different and Apple can decide when we upgrade. Sounds like a great idea to me.
Are all iPhone users kind of uppity? My neighbors just upgraded and think their crap smells sweeter than most.
