Actually, at this point I'm starting to think Boz works for droid. That would explain the piss poor design.

Apple users are people with things to do and just need their computer to work so they can do it. I understand computers, used a 486 for years... hacked, did mods. That's fun and all, but when you just need to get some work done without bullshit, macs do the trick better than anything out there.... right now anyway. Seriously, 15 years later you still can't do exact pixel placement in powerpoint. Seriously?
I also remember when macs were garbage, costing twice as much as PCs and crashing every 5 minutes. How the world turns.

- It's my job. No seriously, I do it for a living. hahaantagonista
- I learned how to do exact pixel placement in PPT a few weeks back. Turn off "Snap to Grid".5timuli
- That's hilarious. Do they still do the measurements in inches even though it's designed for screen? haha. I use keynote now.antagonista

Microsoft gets paid for every Android phone that ships because it claims its patents are being infringed. It's cheaper to pay than to fight the claims in court, apparently:

Apple II E was my computer. Worked beautifully until they allowed clones.

Crazy are the days when people are supporting Brands like they support Religion.
Brand fundamentalists, on both sides. and the funny thing is that only happens to this, because hipsters think that if you own a certain type of phone or computer you are 'cooler'. That doesn't seem to happen for any other electronic piece.
- Cameras? Game consoles? There are definitely other ones. That's the story of Jesus.MrT
- exactly!chrisRG
- 100% of cameras are better than 99% of photographers.antagonista

patent trolls will always be there and Microsoft and Apple are 2 top ones. Unfortunately that's the reality and why these guys are truly bad for progress and innovation. Microsoft owns a shit load of patents. About 25,000 of them. I think HTC pays Microsoft $3 for each Android phone. What's ironic is that Microsoft makes more money from Android than WP7. Says a lot of about their "innovation".
Wait till you see how awesome it's gonna be since Apple, Microsoft, RIM and a few others ganged up to buy Nortel patents just so they can patent troll harder.
When you can't innovate try to milk money from patents you bought. Either way it's irrelevant to anyone. Until patent system changes this sabotaging and dirty tactics to try to fight competition is here to stay.

I quite enjoy Boz's posts to be fair and wish I hadn't missed this exchange.
His flash stuff is always interesting.
And lets face it there are a lot of Apple fanboys around here - makes me cringe.

Android fanboys vs. Apple fanboys. Who wins?
Nobody, children are starving.

Boz doesn't want to "ride with the fluidity of the situation", Flash and Android news make his heart skip a beat because they give him a hope that:
a. Flash will be available and usable on mobile devices
b. Android will dominate mobile market
c. Boz's Flash skills will not be obsolete
d. Profit.Boz gets emotional because—unlike the Apple fanboys he refers to—he's really personally invested and his world began to crash with the advent of fashless iPhones and such. It's about his livelihood. Let's cut the Big Boz some slack here and let him rant m-kay?
- then it's good that I know Objective-C, Java, HTML5/JS and PHP as well right?Boz
- i have failed as a human being, reading the words 'heart skipped a beat' reminded me of The XX.set
- Objective-C, Java, HTML5/JS and PHP! No wonder Boz always tops L.A.'s top bachelors lists.raf
- Sweet jesus, I dying over here!ian
