Is it indicative of a lower IQ when a person misreads a statement?

I'd say, judging by the number of MacBooks at the NASA Curiosity control center, that a more appropriate question would be to replace "Android" with "MacOS".

"Bought an i7-equipped PC for $650. An equal-speced MacMini costs almost double that."

Well then why don't you compare it to a $1200 iMac?

Deserves to be repeated:

As usual here a lie is made by twisting the truth. He was talking about market research telling them what products to pursue or markets to enter, that is the consumer would be driving the business goals. Apple clearly didn't do that. There was no clamor for yet another MP3 player, yet another smartphone, yet another tablet. But that's OK, Steve is dead and the hapless harping hypocrites will continue their attacks and telling themselves how gloriously wonderful and clever they are for using some other product (Windows, Linux, Droids) even if it's substandard or blatantly imitative.

A lot of folks will disagree with what Bill thinks.

Was going to mention Tau Zero, but since you already did, I don't need to. But I do think I'll go back and read it again. The best sci-fi that I can recall.

I couldn't be happier with my new car, now 3 months old. Not one hint of a problem, anywhere. I think it was made by Apple. (Oh God, here come the trolls.) Seriously, best car I've ever owned, and loaded with hi-tech goodies. Mileage is probably better than what you'd expect from 400 horsepower. 16-20 in the city and 28 on the interstate. One drawback -- all those Gs are beginning to make my wife a little flat chested.

I suspect the same people that had their hand in Ford Sync (Microsoft & their bedfellows) also contributed to this scary new feature. So now that's TWO reasons why I won't sit in a Ford with the engine running.

Rich people? None of the people I know who have Apple products would I call rich. In fact, the few rich ones I do know use ole timey flip phones. Maybe, just maybe, it shows that people who prefer Apple devices know quality when they see it. And quality is usually priced higher than junk.

Now THIS is the definition of a "walled garden". You buy a Galaxy S with Android 3, and any future Android versions cannot get over the wall to get in.

Boy, just reading through the comments shows that this article really hit a nerve with the Android "fanbois".

Don't think I've seen an intersection without sensors in years (cut grooves in the stopping areas). At least not around here.

Don't think that applies to stupid stoplights out in the middle of nowhere, with no other lights within 4 miles.

How about increasing the delay between red in your direction to green for the cross traffic, so if someone does run the red there will be a couple extra seconds before cross traffic starts to flow.

While we're at it let's remove what I call "Stupid stoplights", that do nothing but waste gas. How many times have you sat at a red light with NO cross traffic for 30 seconds or more.
