Making Android look like Windoof is about as "cool" as sprinkling dry dogshit on your cappuccino.
Darn right, everyone knows it's better with the fresh stuff.

Don't forget we should be teaching biblical Pi instead of heathen devil math.
"And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one rim to the other it was round all about, and...a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about....And it was an hand breadth thick...." — First Kings, chapter 7, verses 23 and 26
Clearly Pi = 3 Sinners.
Why don't you tell me the EXACT value of Pi.... smart guy!
3 is a perfectly good approximation if you don't need high accuracy.

Perhaps you're just considering a specific country. According to Wikipedia, the overall world sex ratio is 101 males to 100 females. At birth, the ratio is more like 106 males to 100 females, though males die earlier than females, especially in their last years. (An aunt who used to be a delivery room nurse told me that female babies are generally stronger than males, so eg. a premature female has a higher chance of surviving.) Some cultures don't like girl babies, leading to infanticide or abortions, so the ratio can get artificially skewed; it also just seems to naturally vary a bit.
Almost everyone dies in their last year....

In this case, it means "everyone else". Like when people think about their driving skill -- everyone else sucks.
80% of drivers polled claimed to be "better than average".

Apple has the most brand loyal customers on the planet
It's just a fad
Just like any other fads, this "Apple frenzy fad" will become stale, people will lose interest in Apple, once a new-kid-in-town with new fangle tricks appears
I've heard that mantra so many times before when the iMac came out, when the iPod came out, when the iPhone came out, when the iPod touch came out and when the iPad 1 came out. Are you seeing a pattern here? I keep on seeing people on slashdot predicting the demise of Apple year after year.
Oh ya, well this year for sure!!!

How about you just don't speed, you jack-off...
I'd like to point out to you that most speed limit are ridiculously LOW.
Case in point, the expressways in the major metropolitan city in the U.S. called Chicago where the speed limit on the expressways is 55 MPH. From my estimation, the number of drivers at or below the speed limit is approximately 5%. I also estimate that the average speed of all drivers is approximately 70-75 MPH.
Now what does this tell you about how "reasonable" the posted speed limits are?
As a matter of fact, those who drive the speed limit in the left lane create a tremendous danger for everyone.

I'll be interested to see if it has full software rendering engine bypassing the hardware decoder. I don't see why it shouldn't, I believe that's what the desktop VLC does.

Patents should only cover technical innovations.
Trademarks should cover design, and with much more specificity. BRANDING people.
Personally, I think that branding people is going a little too far...
