Submission + - Order an iPhone 5, Get Death Threats From Fandroids (google.com)
stonemirror writes: Ashley Esqueda of Techfoolery writes that, for having ordered an iPhone 5 for a second line, she was called an "iWhore" and received threats of bodily harm and murder from Android partisans.
Esqueda writes, "When I bought my HTC EVO LTE (or my SGS2, or my EVO4G, or my SGS3, or my Nexus 7, or my Galaxy Tab 10.1), I didn't get a single comment from the iOS community with those kinds of comments. No Apple Genius said "u r a TRATOR" or "ur the dumbest bitch ever." It was radio silence. Apple fanboys might be smug, or sanctimonious, or whatever else you might want to call them — but the one thing they they AREN'T are the kinds of people who are sending me messages like the ones I've gotten in the past week."
