The only ones posting revisionist history here are fireman15 and adorno. . . but they are not very good at it. they have ZERO facts on their side. they only have facturds, i.e., myths to posts. I have rebutted every single one of their fractured facturds. They don't like it.
Oh Swordmaker, you know that much of the time I appreciate you and the cute terminology that you come up with... what fun! Unfortunately, much of the time you do not actually do a very good job refuting what is said here because the facts are often not on your side only your seemingly heartfelt devotion to Apple mythology.
I do admire your knowledge of Apple devices. And because of competition from other innovators these devices have continuously been improved to the point that the modern iPhone and many other Apple devices have become technological marvels.
Where you nearly always run completely afoul of the facts is when you start comparing Apple devices with those which came before them. You simply have very limited knowledge of non-Apple devices. You do not know their history; you do not know how to use them; and you do not know what their capabilities were. So instead you try to completely deny their worth if not their very existence. It would be entirely comical if you were not acting as a mouthpiece for the most valuable corporation in the and doing it in a way that is almost completely malevolent.
Instead of constantly attacking Apples competition, you and the rest of those who admire Apple's products should be thanking Samsung, HTC, Microsoft, and all of the other corporations whose competition has caused Apple to reach for greater and greater technological achievements. Instead yours and Apple's mottoes have been, “All is fair in Love and war.” and “A good offense is the best defense.” This shows through in your posts here and often causes me to wonder whether you merely have a tenuous grasp on reality or if you are just a rude and dishonest person at your core.
