Yet not a single person here has any hard, technical facts related to the material. Nada. I’ve actually used it, and found it to be “meh”, like most of the rest of the industries.

You Apple Faithful go ahead with your lies and attacks on me, that’s OK, I’m used to it. You can live with your delusions. The rest of the world has checked out LiquidMetal (including Vertu, the cell phone maker), played a bit with it, and decided it brings nothing new to the table other than a cool name and additional cost.

We've provided nothing BUT hard technical facts with links to the data. You've spoken only ex-cathedra with no links or proof of anything that we've disputed with further links and data. No matter WHAT Apple does, you are opposed and denigrate it. Not ONCE have you said anything positive.

More ad hominem attacks on Apple users from you, Puget, calling us "Apple Faithful" and "delusional." Those are fighting words and they are not acceptable here. You are deliberately trying to get a rise out of us. Sorry. Not gonna happen. There are no lies or attacks on YOU. You read into discussion, what is NOT THERE. Give it a rest.

Look, I thought we had this all ironed out. If you can’t help yourself from being an a-hole on this topic, just stay the hell off the Apple threads. Your posting privileges are at stake.

Don’t bother replying. I’m in no mood to argue about it.

I guess all those numbers just flew by you, just like the fact that there have been no Apple press releases concerning this.

For $6,000 a pop, they don't need to worry about the cost savings of Vitreloy. They played with it, and probably found that their margins on a $6,000 phone can support working titanium with traditional methods. Titanium is definitely better, that's not in dispute. Vitreloy answers the question of how to get near-titanium results in something that costs much less than $6,000.

If in the end Apple can pump out metal phone and notebook cases at near the cost and volume of plastics, others will be very worried.
