Will someone please post some Apple Troll comments?
Come one! Pictures of Gay Pride parades with the rainbow - just like Apple's rainbow logo - coincidence? I think not!
Come on! Apple Trolls are the most entertaining!
Sit tight, the Android people will be here soon.

Details of the new MacBook Pro and iPad become public after an Apple employee left prototypes of the new devices in a San Francisco bar.
Steffann, a bar tender at The Horny Rainbow found the prototypes while cleaning up a puddle of semen, urine, and blood beneath the bar's glory hole.
If you cared about price and not just image, you wouldn't be considering Apple in the first place.
1. It's "fashionable in some parts of geek culture" to, in other words, *not* be fashionable. Isn't that a paradoxical statement? And does that also mean you own enough screwdrivers to match the colour of any shirt you might be wearing on the day you choose to use one?
2. I like to understand my world a little better and understand why people make certain choices - but what someone else uses doesn't usually have any effect on me because I make my own choices - and usually that's based on functionality and price but usually not shape or colour.
3. And I know nobody who owns an Apple computer (my boss says his art-student daughter has a Mac but that's the closest I've got to knowing someone) and a few that own iPods and iPhones. Most of them run Windows PCs, me and one other bloke I know run Linux on desktops more than we run Windows. But that fact doesn't deter me from still using Linux, because I don't need to seek approval from my peers. Oh, and if the Apple branding on your devices isn't important, then how about scratching off the little Apple logos on each one then?
Incidentally, I'm not short of money either, but I attribute that fact at least partially because I spend it wisely.
But I credit you for lasting this long in a discussion without too much fanboi bile and spittle coming to the surface - they're normally foaming at the mouth by now.
Gentoo Linux - another day, another USE flag.
