Apples are ususally in the hands of red-blooded American constitutionalists

On what planet is that?
Here on this planet, almost all the Apple robotoids I have come across are leftists

To me it seems that “just sayin’ “ has replaced “nota bene” among the uneducated slum classes.

So far, with the exception of an issue with a refurbished phone we were able to correct on our own, we have had no real issues with 4 IPhones.

And the apps? They almost all, without exception, work as advertized. Can't say that about the Android phone/apps - I have an HTC Evo as well - Meh, better browsing, but that's about it. It does everyone else ok except be a phone.

IPhones are far superior.

I'd never wanted anything to do with Apple after the stunt they pulled shutting down the Atari 520ST in 85

What did Apple have to do with the Atari ST?

From reading this and seeing what is going on in society around me, I don’t understand how I survive with just a cheezy little pre-paid LG.

My 2005 Verizon flip phone still works great. I receive calls, and make calls, and if I ever feel like it I can text message with it. Plus, it seems to work everywhere. Sure, I need to recharge it a lot these days, but if I keep it plugged in on the car charger whenever I drive, that’s not an issue. I drop it on the driveway sometimes but it just bounces and never breaks. I highly recommend it.

Maybe you could find one on ebay.

FRegards,
LH

Maybe he should clean the freakin’ lent out of his pocket. Or get a case with covers for the openings. Just sayin’. By the way, I am the proud owner of a Mac Book, iPad, and iPhone. Love them all, which is more than I can say about my HP Desktop that despite having McAfee still got a Trojan horse that stole my ATM card data. Again, just sayin’

As I reported earlier, it so happened that I stumbled by accident into an Apple store for the first time ever on the evening of Steve Jobs’ passing. I spoke with a few of the employees there, and one thing that I couldn’t help but notice was that everyone of them, just like every one of the people I know who own and use Apple products, is a Constitutionalist right winger!

That what it looks like from here. Apple somehow or other achieved a bit of a lead in smart phones for a year or two but it never takes long for open systems to outgrow closed ones.

iPhones have been around for four and a half years. If you don't understand how Apple achieved the sales they did or why so many people prefer them to other smartphones, then I would say you have probably never used a smartphone prior to the past few years.

And while the Android platform may itself be "open", it's still tied to restrictions imposed by the cellphone manufacturers and restrictions imposed by the carriers, whether those restrictions are hardware-based or the carriers not being concerned with rolling out the latest Android versions.

And while you may not care for Apple, as a long time smartphone user, I can assure you that the restrictions in general used to be much worse until Apple came along and put Cingular/AT&T in their place. Android users have definitely benefited from Apple.

Things that we take for granted - easily taking pictures and transferring them to our computers, and moving music from our computers to our phones, the carriers and manufacturers used to do everything in their power to ensure that you could only move media files through their services at ridiculous prices on a per file basis or with proprietary connections.

I like your plan. I think after my contract is up I’m going to get a cheap phone to carry all the time to make calls, and small tablet that runs over wi-fi for everything else.

CarrierIQ has me freaked out, and I’m as nerdy as they get.

That is just plain dumb, do you even know why businesses buy them? That's something Perry would say.

What planet are you on? Here on Earth, EVERY iPhone user I know is a conservative constitutionalist.

These kinds of stereotypes are just as dumb as the Windows vs Mac stereotypes. The most liberal person I know uses an iPhone. The most Conservative person I know also uses an iPhone. Do they have anything in common? They both make $350,000 - $500,000 a year. They are both white and both are male, and both like gadgets. That's about it.

“Just saying” something is a way to say it, yet remove oneself from the consequences of saying it. Example:

“I’m not saying you’re fat. I’m just saying that you’re starting to look a little heavy.”

I have had every iphone. I use it 24/7 and love it. You either had a lemon or operator problems.
