Herp derp. Such insight.

It's almost like you don't even *have* any valid criticisms of Android anymore and instead resort to name calling.

Many of us can tell you *exactly* what issues we have with Apple and iOS, but none of them come down to the "ur dumb" arguments that seem to be your forte.

As much as I'm sure you'd love that to be true, it isn't. The only thing necessary is to make sure your control schemes support both.

Sounds like the voters in your union that approved that agreement were dumbasses. Either that, or you're leaving out a lot of other details to make it sound like an absolutely terrible contract.

--Jeremy

Somehow, growing up, my dad made more money, had health insurance and other benefits, and actual vacation and sick leave when working for a union. When doing the *exact same work* for a non-union shop. the owners seemed to be the only ones making any money.

But yeah, sure, unions are always *teh evilz*! Don't let that conservative-manufactured boogeyman get you!

I'm curious too. How could Jesus possibly be a hero? A hero is someone who puts themselves in harm's way in an effort to save someone else.

There is literally no way that Jesus could have put himself in harm's way. He is god. God can't die. As far as torture goes, he didn't even experience much of that since he was killed relatively quickly -- and all the time knowing that he *still* couldn't die, and that he was still god, and that at any point if it became somehow unbearable, it could be ended immediately in a supernatural flash.

When you are omnipotent, you simply can't be a hero.

And the conservative would be far less "right" than the liberal would be. This stuff has been quantified repeatedly: people who watch Fox News are far less informed about nearly everything, because the station does a horrible job of actually informing their viewers of anything objectively, and because people who primarily watch Fox News don't do a very good job of exposing themselves to other voices that might actually tell them what's happening in the world. They prefer to stay in their own small echo chamber and then accuse everybody else of being in a very large echo chamber.

Yes, there is at least some bias in everything you read. No, not everything you read has an equal amount of bias.

--Jeremy

Yup, you are.

--Jeremy

Why the hell are you bringing Apple TV into this when the topic of discussion is the Ouya?

--Jeremy

Wow. What an insight. I'm going to re-think my entire worldview because of that bit of wisdom.

Do you honestly think that that is a useful 'observation'? Do you think you've actually contributed something to the discussion with this?

The "legitimate rape" thing was completely blown out of proportion. It was a non-issue that was taken completely out of context to whip morons into a frenzy. I'd have never voted for the guy but it was really obvious what he meant, but instead it was used to churn up the media circus drivel instead of actually focusing on issues. To deliberately misinterpret and misrepresent what someone said to score cheap political points instead of refuting what the guy actually meant (which was still *wrong*, but it could have been dealt with in an intelligent manner instead of what happened) was pathetic pandering and liberal voters ate it up.

The response by democrats to that comment made me pretty ashamed. You can't be intellectually dishonest and also claim to have the moral high ground.

Sadly, you can't really account for clueless idiots. Just like all the idiots that whined about the Wii's graphics compared to the PS3 and 360 -- and ignored the fact that the Wii cost half as much.

--Jeremy

*blinks*

Are you really making the argument that a can of PBR is more nutritious than an apple? I'm just going to file this one away as a poor attempt at devil's advocacy because I can't believe that anyone would honestly buy that.

--Jeremy

You were paying for everybody's healthcare already in about the most inefficient way possible (ER visits), you're just too dumb to know it.

--Jeremy

So let me get this straight -- are you putting forth the argument that Apple chose to use pentalobe screws for their customers' convenience? That they wanted to ensure that the heads wouldn't be stripped by the frequent screwing/unscrewing that they could expect?

Because if not, this sentence is just a red herring that adds nothing to the discussion.

The rest of your thoughts on the subject are just more evasion.

--Jeremy

You must be somewhat mathematically challenged, because even if you and Apple are right, targeting a subset of 75% of the market is still better than targeting nearly all of 17% of the market.

I have to admit that I'm experiencing some glee in seeing Apple's marketshare numbers fall just as I'd predicted years ago. I don't care that Apple exists; they're just way too much of a bully to be trusted with a dominant marketshare. It's also very amusing to see the moving goalpost reasons provided by Apple fanbois about why iOS is so much better than Android.
