Comment Re:Not for two more weeks (Score 1) 122

I have this hair, could you slice it for me. you stated that androids were available prepaid, while iphones were not. fact: you are incorrect. iphones are currently available prepaid on Cricket. having been proven incorrect and obtuse on that argument, you back up to a second argument that android phones are cheaper prepaid than androids. I'll direct you the point *I already made* in an earlier post. "I'm sure that if apple still made the iphone 3g for vmo it would cost $200 and give you comparable quality as your $100 android. btw i have a $130 lg optimus on vmo, and it sucks ass."

In short, please stop posting if you are out of arguments.

i don't understand what the big deal is. For a century war was synonymous with anonymous death and destruction by the hundreds or thousands. now that we can precisely target a single individual (seals, helicopters, bullet in brain) instead of blowing up an entire apartment building, people come out of the woodwork crying about the human rights of that individual. But when it was scores of anonymi nobody cared.

hypocritical, right?

Comment Re:A contract-free Android phone starts at $100 (Score 2) 122

that's not apples to apples because there aren't any old iphones available pre-paid. on VMo you can get a iphone 4 for $500 or an iphone 4s for $650, and pay $30/month service. I'm sure that if apple still made the iphone 3g for vmo it would cost $200 and give you comparable quality as your $100 android. btw i have a $130 lg optimus on vmo, and it sucks ass.

so you agree for post-paid contracts, there is no price difference between android and iphone, and on the low end (e.g. $0 with contract) iphone is a significantly better value.

The self evident name will be "electronic mail" or some variation in any English speaking country

that's the rub, isn't it... it's likely that some variation of e-mail would have been coined in any case, but this dude *did* coin the term "e-mail". Thus he can say that he coined e-mail.

Remember the famous edison quote: "anybody, peering back into history, can claim an invention is self evident. Only the genius sees it as so before it is invented."

umm, let me shoot this down.

price - you can get an iphone for free (3gs), $100 (iphone 4) or $200 (iphone 4s). how is this more expensive than the spectrum of android systems?

willingness to pay - as I said above, and the AC above agrees, apple trains developers to write apps that are worth paying for.

OK, now that I have corrected you, please stop spreading falsehoods. deal?
