Hey guys i just posted an article on my blog that i thought you may want to read, this is not mindless advertising, im a member and spend alot of my time on the xperia x10 forums, and im an android fanboy.
Heres an exert from my latest blog
"Anyone who lives 150,000,000 miles from the sun has heard of the company known as Apple, but as to why anyone would name a Computer company after a fruit is beyond me. Seriously; its like calling your Brothel "Taco-Hutt" or a photocopy company "nine inch nails" and dont you dare start preaching metaphors at me about how apples are seen as a sign of healthyness or purity Steve Jobs is neither healthy or pure, the douchebag visits the hospital more than a double dialysis patient not to mention his response to any crisis is "your (you; the customer, the one whos always right) doing / holding it wrong!"
And do not get me started on Wozniak the guy looks like he ran the HR department at the Darma Initiative.
So yes, Orange computers in known by all, it is also purchased by all, every Tom, Nick, Sarah, Harry, Muhammad, Hiemlic and Talesh seems to own either an iphone or ipod these days and so we end up with what im coining as the "Avatar-Occurence" ~ where something is so popular for no real justifiable reason but because it is now popular it is bought by more people and it becomes self-perpetualating. ~
So the point im trying to make is that a Popular company isnt neccessarily a good company, look at British Petroleum ffs!
From the stand point of a G33K like me there are 3 things Bananna Computers does; that gets on my tits, grinds my gears, ****s me right off, makes me want to cause a scene and an arms race.
My 3 pet peeves about Pear Computers are
1) The sheer arogance of their Marketting
2) absolutely shoddy product design.
3) PR, so ****! that pedophiles who live near Kindergartens could teach apple how to handle people.""

Honestly, I didn't even read the OP lmaoo. I thought Apple and thought ew.
its an anti apple article FYI
... You surely don't like apple (or sound british) Yesterday I went to the grocery store, and this lady was waiting in line. I took a quick glance at what she was holding and it turned out to be a new iPhone 4 right. So after I look away (total time was like 4 Miliseconds) she starts looking at me and then everyone around her as if she was looking for some attention about having the new iPhone..... sheesh..... people.........

So I'm getting married in 2 months and I'm a T-Mo rep so in essence I live and breath phones. It's just my thing I've been a phone nerd since I started working at T-Mo and got my first Dash. So I was taking a nap before I needed to head to work this afternoon and had a crazy ass dream. I dreamed about my wedding. At some point I was talking with the preacher who is to officiate the wedding and he told me I couldn't get married because he doesn't do 2.1 weddings. My immediate reaction was in shock asking him why he wasn't compatible with Google's Android 2.1 build and if I really had to revert to 1.6 to have the wedding done. Yeah I know weird but I woke up laughing and realizing I might have a problem..

oh she is very aware of it. She wanted to buy a Cliq when she last had an upgrade and I refused to let her get a phone that has practically no real devs supporting it and got her a MT3G instead. She came home last night around 10pm and asked if I'd eaten I replied with "no" and her immediate response was, "well you could always eat one of your phones, they got that donut, eclair stuff on them, right?"

Melinda Gates Denies Her Children the Sweet, Delicious Temptation of Apple Products – GIZMODO
In a terse exchange with the New York Times, Melinda Gates, wife of billionaire tech playboy William Gates, says she's all but banned Apple products from the Garden of Eden—er, her household.
It's a show of solidarity with her husband, the former head of Microsoft, who famously banned all Apple products from his company's campus when he presided there in his spartan Microsoft Office-equipped office back in 2005.
Business Insider has graciously excerpted the Apple-related answers from the interview, all of which are short enough to feel right at home in a Twitter feed:
Do you own an iPod, which is made by Apple?
No, I have a Zune.
What if one of your children says, "Mom, I have to have an iPod?"
I have gotten that argument - "You may have a Zune."
Do you have an iPad?
Of course not.
Is it true that Bill works on an Apple laptop?
False. Nothing crosses the threshold of our doorstep.
Isn't there room in this world for both Apple and Microsoft?
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh. Go talk to Bill.

Poor kids?
Unlucky maybe.

I do the same thing though... no one is allowed to borrow or sync music with my computers unless they have a Zune or something besides an ipod. I don't help my friends with macbooks, iphones or any other apple products they have. They made fun of me when I got a zune so they can rot in hell! haha
Hmmmm... what happened to [OP]?
good day.
Yeah, so we're having a son in about 3 weeks and I agree with this style of parenting.
No Apple products in my household.
I'm not raising a family that buys easy at an overpriced rate rather than works to learn easy, gaining essential knowledge on the way.
Stupid people spending stupid money is why we just had this recession in the first place.
No gimmicks in this house.
No tyrants either.
(except for myself, as you can see)
Congratulations!

Cuz people like android and they make android phones it doesnt mater they're as over priced as apple jk though obviously
Every time I hear a Motorola Droid user complain when another android user calls his/her phone a Droid, it makes me blood bubble.
So in all fairness I shall never call my phone a Droid again if you (Motorola Droid users) agree to never call a airplane a plane.
Any other suggestions of what they might not be allowed to say anymore would be appreciated.

I agree. I call peoples "Droid" branded motorola devices Droids, but I happen to use the device id for every phone that I can recognize. If I can't recognize the make or model I simply call it a smartphone or "device" in general. I also correct people when they call their android powered devices Droids in general. I am kind of an ass like that
Call my Nexus One a Droid and it's instant kidney punch.

Yea I hate it when people are talking about upgrading to a "droid". You can instantly tell that they have no idea whats going on.
Abd then they ask if i have a droid or if thats a droid in myblife hand; mind you, im not mad at them ;;cause they simply don't know, but a captivate =/= droid.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

It ticks me off when people say Droid because of the fact it's a LucasFilm name exclusively licensed by Verizon. The world doesn't rotate around Big Red, even though their customers seem to think it does. Verizon's reality distortion field bugs me greatly. It's half hilarious/half sad. I live in an area with very poor Verizon coverage. I know so many people with Verizon who complain constantly about poor service. When I ask them why they don't switch to AT&T they say... get this... "because Verizon has the best coverage/network/service/whatever." Sure, that's true in New York, San Francisco, D.C. But it's VERY much the opposite here. But you can never convince a Verizon customer of that, they're so brainwashed into believing it.

Perfectly succinct and accurate!
From what I have heard on some news sites on the internet, Steve jobs only has weeks to live. It is about his cancer which is eventualy killing him. I don't like him at all but if it is true, I do find it sad to hear. I would never wish this on anyone.

Heck, the off-topic Mafia's Cook has no problem with this topic, so what's the big deal? It is semi-relevant, because love him or hate him, he started the REAL touchscreen trend. I'd imagine that Android would be using full physical keypads instead of touchscreen if it wasn't for iPhail, despite the general opinion of its usefulness.
Anyway, the rumour that Mr Jobs is dying is unconfirmable, as the original source is National Enquirer, which is a tabloid magazine. And the doctor who said he's dying based his opinion on pictures of Steve Jobs. Pictures.
Make of it what you will.
There's all kinds of wild speculation flying around out there right now. The list of people who actually know what's the case is likely very small.
What really gets me though is the sheer hatred and malicious ill-wishing I've seen going on out there about Mr. Jobs. I think there a lot of jealous, personally insecure folk out there, and that's actually pretty sad. I mean, by way of example, I hate Microsoft and strongly dislike the attitude and actions of Bill Gates, but you won't find me wishing death upon the man, or anything of the sort on his family or friends.
It's clear that we have a lot of dangerous, irrational people out there, and this makes me sad.
love seein the closet apple fans coming out on this thread like cockroaches for some smelly cheese .. get outta here
I have been keeping an eye on news sites and stuff now for 48hrs and I still not convinced. If Steve was really going to die, I think it would be all over the news by now.
Although, that being said, he is a very ill man and if he were to pass away soon I would not be surprised.
Personally i don't like apple and I don't like Steve jobs like I said at the beginning of this thread but he still is a human being and I hope it is not true.

No offense, but the topic is about a mans life. I don't think anyone here(Or I hope anyone wouldn't) wish something like this on anyone else. That post comes off as very rude.
I saw that article featured on gizmodo.
It's probably a rumor unless you believe that 2 "prominent" cancer doctors saying that Steve Jobs has weeks left to live by, if you can believe it,
looking at photos of his ass from his jeans.
so I don't think Steve has weeks to live. The national enquirer is 99.99% bs.

good job reading i didnt even mention steve in my post
I'm just curious as to how good Android would have been without the iPhone as a big fat target to shoot for. Apple would be no where near as influential or profitable, imho, without Jobs at the helm. Granted, he may piss on his customers opinions, i.e. antennagate, yer holdin' it wrong!, but the fact remains that if Apple wasn't pushing out quality products the whole community would be lesser for it.
totally agree...
Apple first don'd the PDA term back in 1992 around the release of the Newton message pad.
On another note.
I can't understand why anyone could say that don't like someone if they have never met in person...
I'm not one to normally start things here, but, wow.
http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/21/steve-jobs-biography-reveals-reflections-on-apple-contempt-for-android/
"Our lawsuit is saying, ‘Google you **** ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off,’” Jobs said, according to Isaacson. “I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product.”"

It was obvious he was out to destroy Google, and anyone else who dared compete against apple. Funny thing is apple has been taking aspects of android for a while but its ok.
Methinks this is a joke
“Hewlett and Packard built a great company, and they thought they had left it in good hands,” Jobs told Isaacson. “But now it’s being dismembered and destroyed.”
“I hope I’ve left a stronger legacy so that will never happen at Apple,” he added.
