facepunch is a little too keen on revenge. but there's nothing wrong with a bit of fun. there is something wrong with calling people names like some always do in these threads, "ONLY DUMB FAGGOTS USE APPLE" etc.
You go HTC. Sue their lying sorry asses off. Fuck you Apple, and all you stand for.
This is almost as awesome as that couple that foreclosed on Bank of America. :v:
Inspire represent yo. Fuck you Apple and your lack of Micro SD support. [img]http://telecolead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/HTC-Inspire-4G-300x280.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=thisispain;31789303]ONLY DUMB FAGGOTS USE APPLE[/QUOTE] Because half the time it's true?
[QUOTE=chrishind10;31791604]Because half the time it's true?[/QUOTE] you are stupid!!!!
[QUOTE=christarp12;31791782]you are stupid!!!![/QUOTE] Just take a looksie at macrumours and read peoples justification for buying one and why it is better than a GNU linux/Windows computer. Then you will understand.

Then you will understand.[/QUOTE] oh really well let's hear your justifications for not buying a mac i'm sure it'll be up there in history with bertrand russel :rolleyes:
* Far too overpriced * Crappy laptop grade hardware in a shiny case * lack of support for mice with a high polling rate * Newer OS versions are incompatible with slightly older hardware faster than any other OS I've ever seen. * UI is not clear, no right click and get all available options, instead you do some odd gesture crap to do something.
none of that is even relevant to apple phone stuff you sure showed those macrumours bastards!
[QUOTE=Stren;31782557]What is it with the smartphone market and suing everyone around them instead of actually competing?[/QUOTE] they're defensive sueings, if HTC sues apple then they can bargian to drop Apples cases against them. No phone maker wants to deal with patents because they have to hire in lawyers and spent vast sums of money on them but they all have to bite the bullet and do it to defend their firm's IP & counter sue. [quote=source]That merger, if completed, could put pressure on HTC and other Android licensees, which face the risk of promoting a direct rival.[/quote] Not likely Google only bought Motorola Mobility for their 15k (ish I might be off by a few thousand) patents they have. By doing this it frees up other android companies to ask google for the green light to use Motorola's patents, it also gives google some fire power against companies such as Apple where as previously Google only had a few hundred patents. Google is likely to let moterola continue running as it has been and not favour them for risk of damaign the more profitable partners such at HTC.

I could go on for longer, but you get the gist.

eh so basically "i don't like it so everyone that uses it is a faggot". i don't really care about your reasons, i just though you were extremely arrogant and quite snide for referring to people you know nothing about as faggots, half of the time. it's pretty stupid so to actually try to "call out" other people's supposed stupidity is pretty childish and also reflective of your own, uh, well i'm gonna avoid hypocrisy as much as possible. and you use windows, how ironic.

Apple users simply buy what is shiny and over-marketed. Also, Windows is generally accepted as the IT standard.

[QUOTE=thisispain;31792909]in response to "ONLY DUMB FAGGOTS USE APPLE" i don't really care[/QUOTE]You use Windows too. You obviously care, or you'd be on Linux or Mac.
[QUOTE=chrishind10;31792927]Well I wouldn't be using a Mac and talking shit about my own property would I?[/QUOTE] no the irony was that you considered apple users dumb, half of the time, for what happens on one forum, while you are here on another forum, use windows, and say dumb things it's ironic because that's not the obvious outcome that you at least expected and i have to explain it and it flew over your head
[QUOTE=thisispain;31792909]"ONLY DUMB FAGGOTS USE APPLE"[/QUOTE] Actually I said half, there are a few people who are forced to use them, and the people that like them for legitimate reasons.
[QUOTE=faze;31792936]You use Windows too. You obviously care, or you'd be on Linux or Mac.[/QUOTE] i use windows because it's just what i learned to use and don't feel like changing the only thing i couldn't do on linux or mac is play games i guess but i do that rarely and i have another computer anyway so nope

[QUOTE=chrishind10;31792964]Actually I said half, there are a few people who are forced to use them, and the people that like them for legitimate reasons.[/QUOTE] oh so the people who like them for legitimate reasons are not dumb faggots? why exactly do these arbitrary reasons determine whether they are dumb and a faggot? [editline]17th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=faze;31793006]Okay, well you use the standard then.[/QUOTE] yeah but i don't care enough to get my dick all hard over hating apple because i don't like their products. i don't like apple because i hate their business practices, it's got nothing to do with the sexual orientation or intelligence of their users as chrishind10 obviously does care about.
[QUOTE=thisispain;31793011]oh so the people who like them for legitimate reasons are not dumb faggots? why exactly do these arbitrary reasons determine whether they are dumb and a faggot?[/QUOTE] Because there are people who have a legitimate use, then they are the retards who for some reason talk out of their ass about the deficiencies of other operating systems and hardware, when they either do not exist, or are easily corrected by the user not being a complete moron.
Motorola being bought buy Google lets Google in theory have all those patents apply to Android OS, which is used in Android smartphones (derp), which means that in theory all Android phone makers can actually use Motorola patents in their defense.

Most people hate Apple for what you just said, their business practices are shitty, shady and pathetic, and their products are horrible and overpriced. They should be ashamed for how much they rip people off.
