Lots of people in the comments are defending this by saying that "sex sells" and that booth babes are effective. Um, you guys do realize that that's the problem, right?

Perhaps you just shouldn't be a condescending douchebag to your friend's girlfriend for inadvertently insulting your beloved Android?
Yeah, my mentality with Android vs. iPhone is that Android is a hobby while iPhone is a utility. I've enjoyed playing around endlessly with various ROMs on every Android phone I've owned (HTC Magic, Galaxy Nexus) but used my iPhone "stock."
Having extensively used both iOS and Android (currently on a Galaxy Nexus after using an iPhone 4 for over a year), it seems to me that while Android has a lot of cool features and potential, at the end of the day, the iPhone is simply straightforward and reliable, and for people who rely on their phones for important…
You have such a naively narrow worldview.
Are you really saying that people who know nothing about computers are automatically stupid and have no other intellectual strengths?
Yeah, I agree. Whenever I hear of a TV show making an Apple parody I cringe at how bad it probably will be. It's so overdone.
I watched that episode. It sucked. It didn't feel like The Simpsons at all; it felt more like Family Guy, with all the lame and obvious jokes and desperate references to current events. I thought it was the worst episode of the season so far.
Tiny bezels and no company logos on the front, please.
You missed a zero.
I've had the opposite observation. I've seen shit loads of Apple sarcastic Apple insults, like "Didn't you know? Apple invented aluminum and sleek design." If anything, Norbs' comment is refreshing.
And you're the first type.
It does boil down to personal preference. Benchmarks may be the only way to objectively compare browsers, but my point is that it really doesn't matter that "Chrome tested worse than even Internet Explorer in the HTML5 and WebGL tests."
They might be the best in terms of pure performance, but that difference is negligible. The real test is usability. Firefox (at least on OS X) feels so clunky and slow and Safari lacks features. Chrome wins for me.
I never understood the appeal of Dolphin. I tried it on both my old Android phone and on my new Android phone and saw no noticeable different. And, seriously, Webzine?
1. Could you kindly quote when I attacked him? Because I didn't. You jumped in simply to join in attacking me.
Download managers like these (e.g. jDownloader, DownThemAll) do "break the file into smaller chunks" by simultaneously downloading different sections of the file. jDownloader, for instance, supports up to 20 connections per file. So, if I'm downloading a 200 MB file, one connection will start downloading the file at 0…
Sorry, but no one cares if you think homophobic personal attacks should be allowed in Giz comments.
Because few people buy tablets based on how many ports, microSD slots, and gigahertz it has? I would think general speed, future support, and app availability are the most important factors for the vast majority of buyers, even on Gizmodo. Android tablets are simply not there yet, at least on Honeycomb.
In terms of 3D graphics and pure hardware performance, this might be better. In terms of general UI animations and scrolling, I doubt it can touch iOS, at least on Honeycomb. It is pretty hard to compare "speed" between platforms, because there are many definitions and categories—general use, or benchmarks and 3D…
