There is no way for you to know how smart I am, nor for me to know how smart you are. So, even if it were true, it's pretty stupid of you to think you could ever know. For how smart you are, you sure come across as dense to have missed the simple point of my post, which is that the greater portion of iPhone users are less intellegent than the greater portion of Android users. You even go so far as to acknowledge my point about all the little kids running around with them (which would skew the math, o great intellegent engineer), and then apparently have no idea what you are talking about.
Aww, did I hurt your little engineer feelings? Was the work sparse enough for you to come argue with a random guy on the internet, and then insist i'm the loser? Are you aware that you would have sounded smarter stating "how much engineering" instead of throwing in "extreme"? Do you really think that even if you had three times my intellegence it would offset all the little twelve year olds running around with iPhones? My point is valid regardless of what intellect you (may) have.
Yes. Even taking that into account. I am serious. Spyware crops up everywhere it can, and despite that it is a problem on Android, there are a bunch of people smart enough to have not had that issue.
I didn't really (and generally don't). I own an iPad (which is really just a big iPhone sans the phone part anyway). I have to support both iPhones and the plethora of Android devices at work, and it is true that we have less problems with the Android stuff (even taking the ratio of users of each into account). It's just fun to gibe people.
A bunch of the apps are published to both platforms, that way the business can sell to two user bases. Also, my phone is mostly a phone, why would I want all that crap on it exaclty?
Where at all did I state it to be factual? If I didn't assert it as a fact, then it can't very well be "true". The statement was quite clearly said in my bias, and everything anyone believes falls within their own bias. So, yes.
Does knowing it enhance the experience? Of course not. It does show that you may have done some research rather than just buy the one with the shiny apple logo on it.
Simple test. Ask iPhone users about a component in their phone ("What kind of processor is in that?") See what they say. Now ask an Android user. They won't all know, but more of them seem too.
I believe he is referring to the efficiency of the power system. If you are working in a specific power rating, you can fine tune the circuitry for better efficiency at those levels. With this, they have to be able to run at much broader specs.
It can't. USB specification is (I believe) 5 watts maximum, at around 5 volts (so 5v at a max of 1 amp). Most notebook adapters are in the area of 20v and 6 amps or so (around 120 watts).
Also, can you imagine someone plugging their laptop into itself to charge. You know it would happen:-)

Go cuddle with your degree. You appear to still not get it, so i'm glad someone thought you were good enough.

That would definately be an interesting read.
Wicked! I thought that Nokia wasn't going to do anything else with Maemo. I'll keep an eye out, thanks.
I'm still not convinced away from one honestly. I don't know about making it my primary phone, but the other capabilities there are pretty astounding.
I get the impression that the iOS vs Android thing is the next Emacs vs Vi holy war. For this site anyway...

Do you have one? Is it any good?

I was all hyped to get an N900, but I just read about too many issues. Pretty sad really, the thing looks like a beast.

It doesn't matter, it conveys a point.

I have an account older than either type of phone. Did you have a relevant point in there somewhere?
No, I made the case that *I am* an arrogant asshole. You however, seem to prove my point.

This is the kind of people with iPhones, you know, the type too stupid to have bought an Android based phone.
Received several requests. Thanks!
May I get one as well (disciple(dot)of(dot)kain(at)gmail(dot)com)
I couldn't agree more. "Sheeple" is one of the quickest ways to make sure no one takes you seriously.

They do at least in the US, patent number 7,311,526
