    However, he then conceded that, "Android phones have more features," and offer more choice for more people. Eventually, he thinks that Android quality, consistency, and user satisfaction will match iOS.

    In the news, an Apple fanboy ran up to Mr.Wozniak, starting beating against Mr. Wozniak's chest and exclaimed "You beast! You beast! You beast! You beast!You beast! You beast!You beast!" and after exhausting himself, broke down in tears. Mr Wozniak then held the fanboy and said, "There there. Shhhhhhhh. It's OK. It'll never be Apple. Shhhhhhhhhh."
