People don't queue outside Apple stores for a week for something they can order online and get the same day just because it's good quality. It's a fashion accessory first and a smartphone second. Just because some people buy them for different reasons doesn't alter that fact. I bought my iMac because I liked the way it looked. I could've bought a far better ugly Windows box that I could've upgraded and repaired with ease but I didn't because I wanted something that looked good.
I'm not an Android fan. I've got an iPhone, an iMac and an iPad as well as an old Note 2 and a Nexus 7 2013 (and a Windows laptop and a Linux netbook - I'm an anti-fanboy). I had a Nexus 6 before my iPhone and I can't tell the difference. Unlike you, Mr Apple Fanboy, I'm not in denial about the kind of company Apple is. I'm aware that all the Android companies are nearly as bad, especially Google who also believe in ripping people off for storage, albeit not as much as Apple do. I have an iPhone because I want a top end phone smaller than 5in that will get updates for more than 18 months. I don't think there's an Android phone like that.
Sounds similar to Mussolini's policies in Italy. Was he a socialist too? I don't deny the crimes of the USSR et al but righties are desperate to pretend Hitler wasn't on their side of the spectrum when he was. Left wing policies have also led to many positives that we all take for granted such as most people being literate and numerate, the near elimination of many terrible childhood diseases through mass vaccination, people not suffering through lack of healthcare (except in your wonderful non socialist paradise in the US), safer work places and all the other things that corporatists would never do because there's no immediate profit in it.
That's always struck me as odd that the only way people in the US are polite is due to the threat of being shot dead. Nearly everyone I've met from the US is a nice person and I don't own any guns.
That only works because you righties pretend that Hitler was a leftie when he actually sent lefties like communists and trade unionists to the gas chambers.
I was one if the younger ones who had to come into that environment and figure it out. Banking code is a mess due to politics, poor decision making and fear of touching someone else's badly written code that somehow works with a liberal spicing of some staff who have always been shit but good at bullshitting. In response to this the banks decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater and it's going come back and bite them very hard. Similar patterns are being repeated with the more modern code I work with now.
The Microsoft Azure cloud comment did make me laugh but if you think bank systems are well designed I've got a bridge to sell you.
IBM's architecture is solid but the banks have 40-50 years of terrible ideas and shit code held together with duct tape and chewing gum.
As it gets harder to find COBOL developers because people like me were discarded for having the nerve to want to be paid well we're going to start seeing some serious banking problems as a lack of staff forces system upgrades.
Either that or the banks will need to offer us huge incentives to come back much like they had to when the Y2K bug could no longer be ignored and they'd "rightsized" too many people.
Not to defend the other guys but they have razor thin margins on most of their products. Apple could double the wages of the Chinese workers and still make tons of money.

Apart from the 9 year old that shot her instructor with an Uzi.
Many of the shootings and other murders in Europe are gang related. Can we factor those out too.
How about 4) not believing that everyone can be trusted with a lethal weapon

People buy Apple for fashion reasons. The quality isn't any better than the high end phones from other manufacturers.
No, we want better government not just throwing the baby out with bathwater thinking that will fix everything.

That doesn't stop them turning up in force and shooting those armed citizens.

Not if they have huge problems that send customers to more nimble rivals.
Because charging 10 times the price of a similar sized Micro SD card is a rip off.
I'm surprised a standard user would have the required security permissions to alter the MBR.

Luckily various governments thought of that and guarantee deposits up to a certain amount.
Democratic Republic of Korea. Sounds like a democracy to me.
I wonder how many times the women had to leave their desk to be sick due to the smell.
Whereas your job is vital to society I suppose.
What are you rambling on about?
Hard time huhuhuhuhuhuh
Sore? Apple is what I meant to type.
Learn to read genius. It's not Sore that have razor thin margins, it's the companies making $100 tablets.
