You know, by your logic, *ALL* patents encourage the status quo and not innovation. Here's a quote from Wikipedia:

You should understand what patents are before commenting that "patent reform severely needed."

NYC? Really? The last game was set there, in case you forgot. I would have made that the least likely setting for GTA V.

"We are just looking for a honest impartial view of a product.

Yes, I'm sure they are Android fanboys. It's very easy to tell by the way they act. They are hyper-defensive and extremely self-righteous. (Symbian fanboys are the same, but I haven't run into one of those since 2008.)

It's those tiny details that push me toward iOS, too.

Um, yes, that's why I used the verb "publish." Giz published this article that Matt Buchanan wrote. Giz still had to approve a review that opens with "the iPhone 4S is the best phone you can buy right now" — something that would not fly on 95% of other tech sites out there for no other reason than to appease Android…

Also, you continue to base your arguments off of the flawed assumption that since iOS has a shorter list of features than Android, it is worse. Please, just stop. That's not the only measure of how "good" a phone is. In fact, I wouldn't even consider that a measure at all, because with that logic WinMo 6 and Android…

No, when you called it a "reality distortion field" and that Apple users enjoy being "gouged," you implied that Apple products are not actually good, but people are brainwashed or otherwise misled into believing they are.

Damn, Giz. Good on you for publishing an honest opinion rather than watering down the truth to appease the endless flood of Android fanboys for whom any positive comment of Apple is seen as bias.

Yes. It means that the display is above 300 ppi.

Right. Millions of people willingly pay hundreds of dollars for something they hate using. It's not because Apple makes good products.

Um, the vast majority of religion is not "choice." If religion is truly a choice, I have no problem with it, but anyone raised religiously does not get a "choice."

Does every article criticizing a non-Apple product have to indicate Apple "bias" to you Android fanboys?

Oh, wow. That's so witty and clever! I've never heard that before!

Yes. [en.wikipedia.org]

So, you don't care about being a victim of identity theft, so long as the government doesn't have your information. Uh, okay.

Don't read too deeply into this. After all, Giz also posted an article on making your iPhone look like Android a few years back... [gizmodo.com]

"Pro Apple"...? Only because you think there's an ongoing war between Apple and Android and that only one platform can win.

I would happily stop pirating movies if there were a cheap streaming service here that offered at least 720p, preferably 1080p. I'm probably going to stop once I move back to the US next year and can access Netflix.
