Obviously when I say "exactly the same" I don't mean it literally. Chinese knockoffs of Apple products also aren't literally "exactly the same," but that doesn't mean they're suddenly legal. I mean, really? Are you using that as a defense?

Sorry, what? Do you understand what analogies are? AT&T's network problems don't have anything to do with the financial crisis... which is why I used it as an analogy. It wouldn't even be an analogy if the topic of my analogy had anything to do with the topic of our discussion.

ONLY Samsung is being sued by Apple because ONLY Samsung's devices look exactly the same as Apple's. It's not the same situation as TV designs, at least yet.

You're so incredibly naive it's sad.

Seriously, why are you putting the responsibility of the economic crisis in the hands of the general public? The average person is neither an economist nor has a degree in finance. Nor is the average person in the position to make important financial decisions.

Do you realize that you are blaming customers for the death of companies? How idiotic is that? Since when were the consumers, not the CEO and other executives, responsible for a company's failure?

Did you check the comments in the source link?

LOL, really? "That would cost more which hurts profits," "iPhone still at 3.5," etc... and you think he's defending Apple? He's on your side. He's giving you another example of Giz justifying a lack of a feature on the iPhone 4S.

No. Did you read the article?

If WiFi is turned on and you enter the range of a remembered WiFi hotspot, then yes, just like any laptop would. Otherwise, no.

Did you read the first sentence of the article?

Maybe because, um, that kid was actually using an iPad?

And an Android fanboy to me is in general more of an asshole than an Apple fanboy. There. I don't see why you have such a problem with me sharing my opinion.

Do you think we should also legalize alcohol for minors, then? How about legalizing driving for people under the age of 10? Laws for minors are different than laws for adults, and with good reason. "Responsibility and consequences" are liberal ideals, even more than they are conservative ideals—that's why, for…

If you watched the video, you would draw a different conclusion. Opening apps looks ridiculously laggy.

Funny, the urban dictionary entry for "Apple fanboy" basically says the same thing: [www.urbandictionary.com] Urban dictionary is not a source for objective definitions of words, obviously. Their definitions for Apple and Android fanboys are based on users' opinions of Apple and Android fanboys, not on the word…

So, your argument is that it's fine because it isn't an exact replica of the iPad? Uh huh.

I guess any cheaper and people would go for that instead of the identical updated model.

Uh, being disappointed that the new iPhone didn't meet expectations does not mean that people think the 4S is bad. They just hoped for more. It doesn't suddenly make other phones better.

Yeah. It's not because they like their iPhones. It's because they're stupid!
