Im not the one bitching someone out for not liking Apple products. I ended up being right though didn't I? He admitted to owning quite a few Apple products. You don't own a lot of something you are not enthusiastic about. Go wipe up your tears.
You should stop being a prick. Apple is limiting things on their own platform. As far as competition existing elsewhere its not relevant to what I said.
Yes. / . does need edit. I don't need to spin my way out of anything. I only said I do not understand why people willingly choose Apple products. An opinion does not deserve people like you bothering me.
I misspoke. If you and others would bother reading the whole thread you would have figured that out and could have saved the time it takes to type your unnecessary drivel.
What is obvious is that Apple enthusiasts don't like it when someone has an opinion contrary to theirs. Look at how many responses I am getting. I don't like Apple's authoritarian nature. I dont understand why others do. End of story. You can like them if you want.
Not so much internet, how you view it yes. You can't play flash games on the iPad. Apple made this decision for you. They are a tad too authoritarian for my taste, but apparently people think that my own personal opinion is wrong since they keep bothering my inbox with slashdot replies.
Look, you called them iDevices. This already is justification to lump you into a sub-group of people known as Apple Enthusiasts. Blocking flash ads is a bit different than choosing to use flash for a video game or something. Apple just wants to control the flow of content through their App Store and ITunes. Shackle yourself to them if you must.
I hear that old line a lot yet I don't seem to every having it be much of an issue on my iDevices
Thats because you are spoon fed content from Apple itself. Of course they would design things to work on their platform, but it works the way they decide it should rather than leaving it up to you to decide.
I am well aware of the limitations of the iPhone/iPad versus the Mac. I just don't like how Apple makes decisions for the consumer ahead of time. Its not totally exclusive to Apple, for example IE is Microsoft's default decisions for the consumer, however Apple seems to force people to accept certain formats or programs more often without apology. I somewhat misspoke in that I was lumping the iPhone/iPad in.
How the hell did this get modded flamebait? I didn't call anyone out nor did I say Macs are inferior without justification. I just said I don't like Apple's policies on their platform basically.
Im not saying Im a big fan of Microsoft. I only use it because I play games occasionally (which is getting rarer the older I get) and my work pretty much requires it. I just dont understand why people flock to Mac over their Windows issues. There should be something else. Linux has a little bit of a learning curve, so I understand people not using it. Its like you either pick bugs or a ball and chain. I wish Apple would loosen up a little because I would be more willing to use their products at that rate.
I never understood why people willingly buy Macs when you get limited so severely to Apple's choices for you. Granted their computers are visually stunning, but Id rather not have to deal with quicktime, itunes, and no-flash at all, its anti-consumer.

Traditionally Hell was a cold place, so I dont think its anywhere near the Earths core.

The statement is not based in ignorance. My wife owns an Apple. I am aware of the difference. My criticism is of Apple's products.
I know the difference. Read the rest of the thread. Get back to me if you are still butt hurt about one persons opinion.
I misspoke. If you and others would bother reading the whole thread you would have figured that out and could have saved the time it takes to type your unnecessary drivel.

Yes I am sure. If you bothered reading other replies you would know what occurred.
I misspoke, I am aware of the difference. I should have said "Apple products" not Macs.

Apparently they do. I criticize Apple and all the sudden my Email is getting bombarded by responses from Apple-heads.
I am aware of this.

Yes, but you can't on the iPhone or the iPad. It pretty much hamstrings the devices since alot of the internet uses flash.

What if the universe IS god?!?!? -Lame
Unfortunately most people who resort to pirating movies cant afford 2900 in this economy.
If you are in fact a lawyer I can understand why you feel that way.
Shut up. Its not like the Taliban are any better. All humans are bad in war. You are just as bad as the stereotype of a republican.
I don't even know how you could know that unless you are a Neurologist, Psychologist and Sociologist and have years of research experience.
