To the contrary, Google has a lock on and a strong interest in Android.
Apple just wants to sell hardware. Google wants to data mine all it can, to make money the way it does.

So you were offended by my post of “Thanks, still won’t buy one?” Ha Ha....

Yeah, reading has gone downhill ... but that downhill process was happening before the smartphones.

And, if you consider that you don’t really have to read or write very well, with the smartphones and other smart devices, you might say that these smart devices help people who can’t read and write very well.

One time (the only time I’ve personally come across it) I came into contact with a young person (about 18 or so at the time, back in 1999) who really could not read. It surprised me! But he somehow managed to squeak by, and on the computer, using instant messaging. It was strange!

Some 700 Freepers appreciate such posts.
If you don’t, you don’t have to be here. So why are you on this thread?

‘unhealthy obsession’ ... cute attempt at projection.

and yes, i’m quite aggressive when it comes to opposing the homo culture. obviously, you’re on board with their ideology.

Just baffled by why you’re so insistent in telling us.

You’re the only one injecting sexual politics into the topic. Please don’t.

I’m a satisfied Apple customer and user, along with about 700 other FReepers who want to be on the ping list, and I don’t consider that to be a problem.

I don’t care that a bunch of Microsoft users post their articles and I don’t care if you decide to get a Linux list going.

But then ... you seem to care that someone else posts something you have nothing to do with ... LOL ...

“Stumbled”? Title is pretty clear. And so what if some people are excited?

the title is clear, yes. i 'stumble' into these threads every time you guys post another one, as i browse the latest 100. over the past week or two, you and the crew have been pimping the next google-glass constantly. it's advertising, not news. not even close to news. and why it's tagged for religion is beyond me (unless apple zealots are finally admitting to their religious fanaticism)

considered it as an alternative term... but the others make the left flip out more (i think they see the term ‘sodomite’ as having lost its meaning so they don’t care)

There are a whole lot of other threads and topics that I don’t care in the least about. I don’t go to those threads and topics and ask them why they bother ... LOL ...

The way a person handles things on a forum is you tell by the title line whether you’re interested or not. If you’re not ... you don’t click the thread ... :-) ...

why not?

i thought they are proud to be the biggest homo company out there. isn’t that why tim cook had to push his bs on the world?

hell, i followed SJobs since the beginning and i’m still unsure of his sexuality. and you know... it never mattered. why? because he was making tech gadgets, not pushing a social agenda.

tim cook decided to push the social agenda. that’s his call. he made using any apple product part of the social ideology.

Apple Watch Edition in 18K Rose God only $17,000

I'm sure owners of these will be thrilled a year or two from now when version 2.0 comes out, making theirs "old" and "outdated".

At least with a real watch, you spend money but the thing can last a lifetime.

Will they have a deal where you can retrofit the new electronics slab into your existing jewelry frame?
