You can't really compare contemporary production techniques (for contemporary pop songs that literally do not contain a single "real" instrument) to those of the 70's and 80's, because different musical styles calls for different production techniques. Auto-Tune and digital recording sucks the life out of acoustic…

Those are an awful lot of hypotheticals. The same could be said about virtually any service. What if Google were hacked? Someone could get access to all my Gmail messages!!! And all my contacts!!!

That wasn't your original question. Your original comment talked about how troublesome emoji is because of the lack of standard support on non-iPhones. My point was that you don't think emoji is awesome because you have an Android phone, and emoji support on Android sucks. I now have an Android phone, too, and it's…

Why are you such a hateful person?

Holy shit, what? You realize that this is the exact defense Apple users used for the iPhone a few years back, right? I'm surprised of all people YOU would be using this defense, considering you were probably one of the people who ridiculed the iPhone for the same deficiencies.

You are the type of tech person I dislike. Non-tech-savvy people according to you are "stupid" and do not deserve to own smartphones? Uh huh

And you clearly own an Android phone, so this discussion is dead. ....................

I think you might be talking about yourself.

That's because Emoji support on Android sucks. It's fun on iPhone.

Right? Sam should know by now that the only legitimate opinion in technology is that Apple sucks and Android rules!

You realize that addicts are already being treated with government-funded programs, right? Drug addicts don't just get sent to prison without any rehabilitation whatsoever, dude.

You're assuming that legalizing drugs will increase the number of addicts, which evidence suggests it will not. Also, what about the current burden on the legal and prison system? Didn't California's prison budget just surpass its education budget a few years back, specifically due to drug offenders?

It's funny, because when I had an iPhone 4, I left WiFi and Bluetooth on 24/7, even when I didn't use either. And it still had much, much better battery life than my current Galaxy Nexus, on which I keep both off all the time. Also, you don't "transfer" MP3's and videos to your iPhone—you sync them. It's different…

If you think anyone cares about any of the points you brought up, you're even more ignorant. On humans. I have a Galaxy Nexus and I don't even care about any of that stuff. No, not even widgets, which are seriously crazy useless. And I actually want a decent iTunes equivalent (DoubleTwist sucks infinitely more than…

iOS notifications don't necessarily make the same sound. Developers choose the tones. It's still not user-customizable (unless the developer lets you choose in the app), but it's simply untrue that "all notifications make the same sound on iPhones."

If you complained about the antenna problem after the deadline, Apple still offered free cases.

You probably agreed to some fine print when you accepted the free case in 2010 that you can't sue for the antenna issue. You already settled the issue with Apple, so asking for more would just be greedy anyway.

I thought Apple continued to give out free cases after the deadline if anyone asked.

"Gizmodo is a *bit* left-leaning when it comes to politics."

Consumer Reports? You mean their "objective" process that ranked some shitass LG phone above the iPhone because it shoots 3D?
