I’ve already spoken about one of the plays made by Apple and Tim Cook to damage Android. This was the push to 64-bit computing in the iPhone 5S. As that smartphone was announced, the roadmaps for Android devices did not have 64-bit computing planned in the near future. Manufacturers and component suppliers were bounced into making bold claims that they would join Apple in the 64-bit world.
They had no choice but to do this. Android’s success was built around the promise of being faster, better, and stronger than its rival OS. If Apple was 64-bit, Android had to be 64-bit as well. Promises were made, plans were changed, and the rush to 64-bit comp
The impact of that push remain to this day. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 was the chipset expected to lead the charge, but production issues have forced manufacturers to delay products into Q3 2015, or choose alternative chips with the resulting compatibility problems of running third-party Android applications.
Apple weakened the chipsets in Android by forcing the manufacturers to follow them on the 64-bit roadmap. Resources, time, and developmental energies were directed away from competing directly with Apple and into something that has taken far longer than planned.

Buying a product made by thousands of straight individuals is NOT supporting the gay agenda. . . any more than appreciating the Mona Lisa, the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, or watching Raymond Burr playing Perry Mason on TV should be supporting any gay agenda.
I used that for a couple of years, I just bought a 32” Sony TV, a wireless Mac keyboard and a wireless Super Mouse. Now I can sit across the room in my lazyboy and relax.
P.S. The Mini I currently own is a 2011 with the i5 CPU, I just ordered a 2012 with the i7. I really need the Quad Core to do what I do. The i5 will be for sale after I get everything switched over.
True I can't update the OS, but it does what I want it to do. Snow Leopard with FaceTime.
Disgusting as it may be, straight marriage is not a constitutionally protected right. Marriage was controlled by the Church for centuries. Many Churches refused to allow persons to marry if they weren’t members of THAT church. My own Pastor refused to perform my marriage because my wife was divorced. I left that church shortly after.
The right to bear arms is a constitutionally protected right.
I meant to say HOMO or straight marriage is not a constitutionally protected right.
So... essentially...you are ok with homo marriage.
Except when it comes to Tim Cook and Apple of course.
I am not a hardcore Apple fan, but I know full well that the top guys at Microsoft, Dell, and beyond, contribute plenty to pro-abortion and homosexual causes, does donating to the cause, to the effect of millions of dollars, bother you at all? As I have come to find out, the top execs at all the major computing businesses generally (with exceptions) contribute to the progressive causes. In fact, I would be surprised if Bill Gates hasn’t donated Tim Cook’s net worth to AIDS research, abortion, and so on. However, someone who owns their products doesn’t have to be a contributor to the same causes as the executives.
I think the important fact is that most of the other computer/software company execs actively contribute loads of money to the same causes as Apple. It doesn’t matter if you buy a Mac or PC, the top execs of either business support the same causes.
You also support it by buying a Dell, Lenovo, or HP device just the same, or by buying a Microsoft Operating System. Plus, let’s get into the other things you own and what the big business execs behind their manufacturers support...
I see. So that’s why you advocate supporting the homo agenda through Tim Cook and Apple.
Nope, too bad you can’t see that I own a custom-built windows machine. But the part about buying Windows still supports the same agendas.
"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me"- Tim Cook
And Bill Gates is proud to donate and help advertise for legalizing same-sex marriage in Washington State. Look, it’s time to start accepting the fact that the makers of Honda, Toyota, Ford, FoxNews, Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Target, and so on, all support the same agenda, even if they don’t have a homosexual CEO.
So, according to you, the appropriate response to this should be to support corporations with overtly homo CEOs, like Apple.
Yep. I've been target as an "Apple hater" since the day I took exception to an article claiming that iPads were going to "take over the enterprise", by people who've apparently never set foot in an enterprise IT shop. It didn't and won't matter how many years of experience I have working in that environment or the reasons I gave why it's unlikely that's going to happen. It doesn't matter that since that prediction was made there's no evidence that it's actually happened or going to any time in the foreseeable future.
All that mattered then, and all that matters now is that somebody said something good about Apple, and by God it was going to be true.
And you would love corps with overtly praising ones like Bill Gates, and FWIW, Cook is the easy one to spot, like the Babylon Club on the highway. Bill Gates is like ABC Family network.
LOL ... and so you don’t have a computer or phone or any electronics ... you’re hilarious!
When one is obsessive, constantly intruding on Apple threads, always stalking the Apple threads, always disrupting the Apple threads ... THAT ... is an Apple-hater. There was ALREADY on such Apple-hater here on this thread who got BANNED because of his antics. That’s the items you see removed by the moderators on this thread!
You want to “go off the grid”? ... :-) ...
