mrford, You sound like a total douche. You wish to call me an idiot because I won't jump on and suck Steve Jobs fluff like the rest of you fanboys. I am sorry I like high performance and reasonably priced tech. You are just another fanboi, it's written in how defensive you are.
"I have an iTouch and I love it."
My wife has an iTouch and of all the offerings from Apple it is likely the best and most reasonably priced. It is still underpowered and overhyped. The new ones with cameras are a little bit better though.
"No I didn't buy it with my parents money you stereotypical idiot, lol."
Yes, because I said that everyone who owns an apple product must use their parents money. Wow, seems you are the stereotype of a fanboi.
"I actually use my iTouch over my Droid Incredible when I'm in a wifi area."
To each their own, personally I don't own an Incredible. I prefer to carry as few things as possible with me.
"The apps that are in the apple store far oitclass any other carrier or manufacturer"
That is an opinion, one that is usually shared by you and your kind. I see so little difference in apps personally.
"and like it or not, apple is kinda here to stay."
No, they aren't. Why are all the analysts saying different? You think the fanbois will be eternal? They are there until it's not fashionable. Android is already more popular, Windows Phone 7 will get traction, and we will start to see more Windows 7 capable small form factor computers. I really hope Windows 8 will not interfere with that anyways. Apple will never survive with out Jobs.
"Not I'm not an apple fanboy."
All fan boys say this after they prove they are by tossing insults at anyone that questions Lord Jobs.
"I actually used to be just as ignorant as you and hated on everything that had an i infront of it."
My stance is one based on the opposite of ignorance. I know the specs, the hardware, and the software at a nearly intimate level. It is not a blind hate, but knowing what they do and why.
You will likely never change your stance and that is fine, every company has it's sheep.
"My iTouch was a gift feom my wife and I reluctantly used it to appease her. It is a great product and does what it is designed to do extremely well."
It does what it is intended for yes. No one is disagreeing that apple products do what they are intended. They do it though exactly as Apple wants it done and when a feature is not intended it is taken away from you like you are a child and shouldn't be playing with that toy.
"There is also a reason why iTunes is the worlds largest music market now as well."
Because you are forced to install that bloated, buggy, and invasive piece of fluff if you own any apple product?
I would say piracy is the largest music market now.
"Wether you like it or not apple is an execelent company that creates their "cult following" as you call it."
It is an abomination of a company. It uses it's patent portfolio as a weapon to stop innovation and force their competitors into tedious court battles that only continue to increase the cost across the board of technology. They are patent trolls.
They use their strangle hold on their app store to bully app developers and steal their ideas to add into iOS. App developers are punished with anti-competitive rules forcing them to develop ground up there by locking them into the platform. Should we talk about bullying of Samsung and other suppliers? How about the horrible conditions at Foxconn caused by Apples demands of them. How about being the worse environmental company in numerous studies?
"Would I but a apple computer? fluff no because I hate the OS"
Actually I was considering the MBP for awhile until people talked about all of the driver problems.
"but do I hate on all apple products like you apparently do? No."
Who said I hate them? I just think they are locked down, overpriced, and under powered.
"It's really ironic that you hate on a fad because it's almost equally as popular to hate on it. If that makes sense. I'm posting this from my iTouch and I'm too lazy to edit it."
It makes sense, but the hate on that fad is rarely hate, either people sick of seeing the apple fanbois and there ridiculous claims or people that want to get a rise out of fanbois. I am simply a realist calling in the facts.
You have an iTouch which i do too, well my wife. It is a decent device but there are and have been better ones and there will be better ones in the future.
"2 sets ago on FFA I fought an entire war against NBK using only my iTouch. I walled, hit, broke, attended chats, everything on my "crappy fad of an iTouch that I bought with my mommys money""
Good for you, you bought a product from Apple and was able to use it to perform a task many devices can also perform. You are grown you should have used your own money to buy it, or at least pay back your mother.
"get over yourself you tard and stop hiding behind a new nick every other week."
Over myself? So because I came here with an opinion that is not consistent with an iTard, you have taken it on yourself to preach on behalf of your god Steve Jobs? You are just another fanboi.
