Her analogy has a fatal flaw... Apple doesn't tax you if you don't buy their product or a competitors.

Only if you care what they think. Otherwise it's just an interesting exercise in watching people think that feeling smug actually makes them superior.
Personally, I take the Mr T approach. You know, pity the fool..
Plugging an android into a telly to watch a movie from the memory card usually presents an opportunity to ask - "Really? What do you mean that's neat? Cant yours do that too?"
I know, I know. Its a guilty pleasure. :smirk:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You're free to advertise. Don't be surprised if a bunch of spammer shaped larts come flying your way though.

Have you considered moving?
I would.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

So I'm looking for a developer, enlighten me, why would I move?
|
|

To be surreal.
We all know that reality sucks, so doing the opposite can't be a bad idea.
