You are being dishonest. That is not the word I emphasized in my post. That word emphasized creates a comment on state of being. YOU emphasized that word, YOU are concentrating on the issue of whether Android has the state of being a product. I emphasized the word "A" in the original post. Look back, there it is "*a* product."
It would be good if you could even understand the context within a few words, and maybe basic English grammar. The sentence structure "Not X, but Y" is quite standard. I am contrasting Y and X. Emphasizing "a" ensures that my intent to contrast "a" is clear, and that I do not intend to contrast "product."
"I don't have *a* car, but two cars." Obviously it means I have two (plural) cars instead of one (singular) car.
"I don't *have* a car, but two cars." Using your meaning the sentence doesn't even make any sense.
It's really sad. The only way you can win is to dishonestly re-write and change the meaning of what I wrote. Either that or your reading comprehension is below a first-grade level.
Naaah.
YOU are.
You first of all claimed Android is not a product, then when challenged, you proceeded to dig yourself further into the hole by claiming that since you can't walk into the shop of a cell phone carrier and buy Android, so therefore Android is not a product.
I destroyed your puerile arguments by pointing out that you can't walk into a shop and buy Internet Explorer and Microsoft Security Essentials either, but then both are very solid products, that Microsoft spends millions of dollars on every year to develop, and which are used by more humans than most products that you have to pay for.
So now you are busy wiggling and trying to worm your way out of your own hole that you dug yourself into, reduced to accusing anyone who points out what you yourself said, of using a “distraction”.
Hmmmmmmmm now who does that remind us of?
0bama and his attempts to downplay any and all attacks on him over his racist Jeremiah Wright and terrorist Bill Ayers associations as “distractions”. You have taken a book right out of the 0bama/Alisnki playbook. You'd better apply for a job in the 0bama administration quick!
