Hi Puget.
I'm not going to enter into this technical discussion, interesting though it is. Overall, I suspect your technical assessment may be on or close to the mark. No argument there.
This is a comment about the thread itself, and your purpose in posting certain of your comments. Just for the record, Puget, because you know perfectly well this is true:
Your taunts like the above are called "BAIT".Are you proud of yourself? (That's a rhetorical question, no need to answer.)They have no place on a civil thread intended to discuss the facts of the news.
It's obviously and completely an Apple thread.
You set your bait out and some Apple folks took it.
Comments like yours above poison the FR tech threads, and are unnecessary, IMO. Under other circumstances, they might be seen as a form of self-deprecating humor, but in these circumstances, it's bait. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
I suggest that you set a better example and encourage other posters (such as driftdiver and bunnyslippers) to stop fighting and talk about the technical pros and cons, like the first few comments, and your comment #32, which is fascinating. There's plenty to talk about there, without getting into your personal obsession with old attacks to or from Apple fans. You can set the tone with a clear, adult example, instead of a juvenile one.
Unfortunately, the thread has already deteriorated to the point where it'll turn my stomach to participate much, and I've gotta get work done today anyway, so I'm off until this evening.
Please, all, stop the food-fight, and try to pull the thread back into a more appropriate discussion relating to the topic.
Thanks.
Tell that to BunnySlippers who charged in like a bull and attacked. Read the opening post, and up to 17 - linked from the story, title straight from the other website, and we were talking WHY it has higher breakage rates.
Then Bunny crashed it, and the crap happened yet again because iPhone fans simply cannot take the truth.
Get some balance, please. You can play peacemaker, but read this thread objectively and you'll see when it went sideways - Bunny charging in and attacking for some grievance from the past. Calling me out and ignoring the reality shows your "peacemaking" is about as one-sided as the UN Security Council.
So, that said, if you have nothing technical to add, why are you here? Yeah, I'm being snippy, but I'm tired of always being attacked and treated as the bad guy (like you're doing here) for reporting OBJECTIVE data, and discussing technical reasons for why it came about. You don't like it? You're free to move to another thread...
Got a problem with it, let's take it to private mail.
Knock it off drama queen...
dayglored,
To be fair puget posted the article and then the hate joined in.
I can see not commenting on a thread where the poster asks you not too. PSS posted this thread. He invited me to comment.
Since then the haters have attacked, insulted and lied. I’d appreciate if they got equal time in your condemnation.
