And I assume that you will stay 100% clear of all Windows and Android threads, right? I mean - you are on record as stating there is nothing that Android does better than iOS so why do you even get involved there - even if they do mention iOS you need to stay out!

No, because my business is working with both of those platforms. Unlike you, I do know what I am talking about when I make a comment on a Windows or Android thread. I also do not go on and on and on and on and on and on . . . spouting ignorant garbage over and over and over and over and over calling the Windows or Android users names.

If I make a comment on one of those threads, it is usually to inform, not to denigrate, it is certainly not to insult users. Ask dayglored or ThunderSleeps, the keepers of the pertinent Ping lists if what I just said is true or not.

Well, now... Since dayglored doesn't expect that that offer to ask will be accepted, he merely stands back at a safe distance, watching in awe as this thread, comprised largely of this particular flamewar, soars above the 125-comment mark.

If only the threads I post about Windows could draw this much, ummm, enthusiasm for spirited argument! But alas, no, they wind down after a dozen or so such exchanges and go back to discussing BSODs and printer drivers. *sigh* I guess Windows folks, pro- and con-, just don't have this much stamina.

Or something,... whatever it is you guys are displaying... :-)

As for me, I gotta get up early in the morning tomorrow. G'night, all.

Swordmaker's comments are always welcome in the Android list.

Me, I use what works, and I don't feel the need to run-down other people's choices. In my day-to-day world between my stuff, my wife's stuff, and work I use regularly:

About the only current tech I don't have regular interaction with and thus don't comment on are windows based phones and blackberries. I have 3 science and engineering degrees and 35+ years working with computers. My take on it: use what works for you. Realize that even the stuff that doesn't work for you, probably works for someone or they'd have gone out of business long ago.

Funny, I work with both platforms too! And unlike you, I at least know the resolution of the screens I'm targeting. Perhaps because I came up in a Windows-centric world when doing development, and learned early on the power of using logical pixels rather than fixed positions (like iOS did for the first several years).

All those things that so many Apple people rail about - all the different hardware platforms and screen resolutions that have to be supported in an app - are irrelevant if you know how to program AND the OS supports variable resolution! Your app automatically handles it with nothing more than 2-3 system calls at the beginning to get the system resolution - and that's it. Everything afterwards is automatically scaled - if you do your software right.

I also do not go on and on and on and on and on and on . . . spouting ignorant garbage over and over and over and over and over

Oh, like Apple ONLY has 326 PPI displays? ;)
