[quote]Anytime anybody in the universe says something negative about Microsoft, Brad Thorne* loses it. He fires up Twitter: “You’re fucking pathetic!... You have your head so far up your ass!... I can’t wait until you eat your smug words!” Thorne, a fortyish IT manager with a preppy wardrobe and shy grin, is actually a nice guy in person. He plays golf and enjoys spending time with his wife and step kids. He works as an IT director at a nonprofit charity organization in the South that’s run by nuns. He is not religious — unless you count his relationship with Microsoft, of course. “I’m a missionary,” says Thorne. “For me, it’s about being super passionate and super knowledgeable about their products, and not leaving that passion at the door when you leave work. You preach it all the time.” Thorne has been a preacher, so to speak, for decades. He feels a deep, personal connection to Bill Gates, who, like Thorne, is a “true believer in the power of technology and how it can change everything,” and has an “unabashed way of approaching his foes or detractors.” [/quote] [url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/21/5307992/inside-the-mind-of-a-fanboy[/url] also the layout on this piece is outstanding, as usual for the verge

I literally can't read the article because of how laggy and bad the verge's layout and dumb animated bullshit is Can we call this "web 3.0" or something so I can say "I goddamn hate web 3.0"
fanboys suck especially apple and windows phone ones they're the worst fanboys ever, android fanboys are at least justified because android is perhaps the greatest thing in the world and it cured my cancer
Was there an article? I was focused on all the colorful popping icons and sliding bars...
[QUOTE=Zeke129;43624520]fanboys suck especially apple and windows phone ones they're the worst fanboys ever, android fanboys are at least justified because android is perhaps the greatest thing in the world and it cured my cancer[/QUOTE] got a windows phone 8, and i was skeptical because while i liked WP7, it had MANY annoying shitty flaws, but WP8 is pretty great, the more people use it, the more devs jump in! :D It's a pretty cool platform And i'll take android before iOS any day, fuck that

He must have been tweeting 24/7 after Win8 got released :v: Also holy fuck what kind of news website is that?

Haha, the comments, people posting pictures of the different lays outs on the other devices.
It's probably getting a little off-topic but this is hilarious. [quote]Almost a quarter of younger people even use their phones while having sex.[/quote] That shit really irritates the hell out of me. I've only called one person and had that happen but when between grunts they ask if they can call you back all I can think is, "why the fuck did you need to pick up at all, I didn't have any life saving info to share." This one muppet I just don't call anymore because I know it's just going to be an event every time. Whether it be fornicating, taking a mad dump or driving he'll answer it no matter what.

Everytime I try to read that article, the annoying fluff layout and the nausea of it being worthless bullshit about shills prevents me.
