You do realize that having three paragraphs comprised of 9 questions in a row, followed by a single ‘assertion’ (that’s really just an insult) is in no way even close to being a debate. That’s not how debating anything works, not at all. In a real debate, you don’t just pose questions to your opposition. In fact,…

. . . seriously? You ask for specifics and then get all superior and passive aggressive when you get an example? Those are some ‘special’ debate skills you’re bringing to the table.
Think about the people in your life who don’t read Gadget and Tech blogs. I’m talking about the 30+ Attorneys and Paralegals in my office who I have to help with technology. There are 2 Android users, and the rest iPhone users. I’ve worked with most of them since they got their first smartphone - none of them have…
You say yourself that you’re a Geek. . .
I’m sorry, does strong language like “not even close” count as so much vitriol? I think you must be confusing me with someone else.
I’m not saying they should change, I’m saying that you are in the vast minority for having actual comparison experience. This was all about the idea that people use iPhones because the software is better, and that’s just not true for the masses. There’s nothing wrong with people making the choices they do, but lets…
These points were WAY more accurate 10 years ago then they are today.
Apple products are tech for people without imaginations of their own.
I’m saying the whole premise is flawed. The majority of iOS users didn’t choose one brand over the other. Most of them got an iPhone as their first smartphone (somewhere between 2007 and 2010) and have actively refused to even try Android ever since. They just get new iterations of the iPhone because its the only…
In my experience, the people who really ‘care’ about the iOS software are the people too tech-illiterate to want to learn a new OS. I just wish we would start differentiating between ‘good’ software and ‘simple to use’ software. They are not always the same thing. Sometimes the better software is the one that lets…
Eh, most average people choose iOS because that’s what they learned first and they don’t want to learn anything new. It’s not like the average iPhone user tried Android and just decided they don’t like it. So no, I would argue that the software is not the real reason they choose the brand, its just the reason they…
Are you implying there are other companies (tech related or not) of this size/magnitude that DO have the public interest at heart . . . ?
He could be a professional writer who’s been in a similar situation of behind schedule, under pressure, and over stressed. In that scenario, he does not know GRRM, but he is still making an educated inference about the man’s potential mental state and the paralyzing writer’s block that comes with it.
I’m genuinely confused as to whether this is supposed to be a satirical joke or if you’re being serious. Funny thing is, it doesn’t matter which one, because both still make this a super stupid - bordering on dangerous article. And the fact that you filed it under “SCIENCE” makes me want to punch you in the mouth.
