Sooo, the point of y our post is that despite any data to back up your assertion, iPhone apps are just as bad, no wait, they're WORSE because at least with Android you can install a tool to monitor yourself getting fucked in the ass? And that somehow makes it better than iPhone?
That doesn't come across as too much of a rationalization.
Well the good news is that most people don't care and they just want to use their phone with the latest OS installed without having to root their phone. So the only "fail" would appear to be on the part of Android phones that are unnecessarily locked out of OS updates. On my iPhone I always get the latest OS update, and I don't have to go through the process of rooting the phone. How's that walled garden you're living in there pal?
"my phone is superior to the iPhone 4 in almost every aspect."
Sooooo, based on that statement you could also say that the iPhone 4 is superior to your phone in almost every aspect too? I mean there are some things the iPhone is better at and some that your phone is better at, so really you made no point at all with your post.
Next time just post "I hate Apple" and quit wasting everyone's time.
Don't talk about the iPhone ecosystem unless you know what you're talking about. In the midst of trying to sound superior it ends up making you sound incredibly ignorant. There tons of free apps on iTunes.
It would make me uncomfortable if you were right, but your argument is simplistic and stupid. Apple busted their ass to make a breakthrough phone that changed the industry and all people can do is whine about it. They certainly shouldn't have the opportunity to profit off their hard work, should they?
My iPhone purchase was to pay for a ground breaking product that works great. Your attempt to spin this beyond that is simply disingenuous BS.
Don't try and educate the countless retards who post things like this on every Apple story.
"Did Apple invent the LCD?" "Electricity was around before the iPhone, therefore the iPhone is all prior art."
Blah blah blah, it never ends with these folks and I'm not sure if they are really that stupid or if it's just a case of "I'm going to oppose anything related to Apple". Either way it's pointless.
"There is no way a court would throw a clear case of sexual molestation out because it's an administrative search. "
You mean like there's no way our country would torture and then rebrand it as an "enhanced interrogation technique". Or like there's no way they would place illegal wiretaps on domestic telephony/internet traffic and then retroactively shield themselves and the companies that cooperated? You're talking how it would work in a rational world, I'm talking about how it's been happening in our country for the last 10 years (probably more, but it seems to have accelerated).
I would agree. An inch at a time, so it causes minor discomfort, but not major enough for a revolt. In time people get used to it and we advance the oppression one more inch. Rinse and repeat.
Maybe you missed his point when you were watching Fox news?
If we (the USA) would get the heck out of these Muslim countries and leave them alone then they would leave us alone. It is OUR meddling foreign policy which has pissed people off over there and that is why the towers went down (Al Qaida actually came out and said that) so we invaded their countries before they attacked ours. I don't support the terrorists actions, but maybe we should start lumping ourselves in with the terrorists since we do essentially the same thing multiplied by 1000. The AC poster was right, it's our nations lack of moral compass that has brought us here. Militant Islam was a minor annoyance before we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, now it's almost fashionable because our meddling has created a US vs Islam mindset around the world.
I disagree. I think it would be thrown out of court on summary judgement too, but only because it's a government search, and the courts are doing very little to curb government when it comes to safety or security any more. Wrap a law in the terrorism flag and the court will pucker up and suck on it.
The TSA BS is out of control. We have a small, not particularly bright army of people to pay for who have been given an enormous amount of power to do whatever the hell they want, and they know the government will shield them from just about any complaint. That is not good.
Hey, thanks for the good laugh early this morning. I love the Apple hating, spittle flying from their mouth Android fans who have lost all common sense and objectivity calling Apple fans bad.
Except you're making the assumption that people want to use cloud storage like Google or Amazon think they do. I honestly don't think so, I certainly don't, and Apple is betting they don't either, which is why they are NOT restricting people, but rather approaching this concept with a different business model. You're not storing everything in the cloud, but the cloud is a way to make sure all your devices are automatically synced with no management effort from the user. They may end up being wrong, but I think we'll find that the public will like this business model.
What's that you say? You're one more idiot with a myopic viewpoint who spouts the phrase "walled garden" to try and feel intelligent and superior? I guess all that intelligence has managed to lift you out of the "i want to be seen as cool" stage in your life?
While I won't argue the double dipping part of your argument, they definitely tax about ten times over on the same money, I think it's a bit blind to just blame the governor for killing the revenue stream. He should be cutting spending (which would start an even more vile flame war against him), but Amazon is the one killing the revenue stream. They could comply with the law short term and challenge it if they want to, but they are trying bully tactics.
In the end they are all scum, government, big corporate business. About the only people I feel bad for are the affiliates.
I would say it's more greed on Amazon's part. They know they can strong arm with tactics like this and buy legislators so that is the approach they will take here in the states.

And yet his question remains valid and unanswered.

Ha! Now that made me laugh!
Yeah, I get the point. You just added the Reeses Defense to the lawyers portfolio, along with the Chewbacca Defense.
Your argument did NOT make sense. I guess that means I must acquit?

Pointless to repeat it again, but it's truth remains valid.

For the millionth time, Apple did NOT steal anything. They licensed it and Xerox got Apple stock in compensation. Learn your history please.
Yeah, and Apple fans are bad. . . . Physician heal thyself!
Apple fans are the worst right now?
Hey, thanks for the good laugh early this morning. I love the Apple hating, spittle flying from their mouth Android fans who have lost all common sense and objectivity calling Apple fans bad.
Well I never have that experience, across multiple iOS devices. So that negates your report and we're back at neutral.
Now you went and ruined a perfectly good anti-Apple rant with common sense and a real understanding of what iCloud is attempting to offer.

I honestly hope this was an attempt to make a joke. If you really believe this you need to wake up and get educated FAST!
