“And as for sickness, which is more so: being happy that a shiny new leading-edge product has arrived, or passionately bashing it? So we like our toys; why do you feel compelled to insult them?”
LOL, most perceived Apple bashing by you and the other iFans is making light of the fact that everytime Apple releases something, you guys are right there without fail hyping it up. What Apple THRIVES on is hype and the drooling from its followers. Steve Jobs could take a crap in a box and iFans would be right there to pay $500 bucks for it and brag about how it’s the best crap ever.
Hate to tell you, but I’ve owned 2 different iPhones and still own several different models of iPods, so your labeling people as bashers is way off base.
Another claim... late in the discussion from the Apple basher... of "I own the (insert Apple product here), so I can bash with impunity!" I simply DON'T believe you... especially with your pushing Android so vociferously. It just doesn't ring true! I've seen it too many times and too much of what you've said comes off as a typical non-Apple user.
