Back in those days, Mac users rarely bashed others, but PC users were always bashing Mac Users. It was computer racism, LOL.

I don't care what others say anymore.

True that. Everyone was bashing Macs. I remember back in the day, (this was back in the 80's), Apple had this IM application. All we did in our free computer class days was log into that IM application and message profanity to each other. It was pretty stupid cuz the guy you were cursing was across from you or next to you. And you had to type fast, because you don't want to get caught by the teachers.

For our Chinese Classes ( this was back in the Philippines ), we would use the same computer labs to do writing exercises. The teacher would catch us using IM, but wouldn't really know what the swear words meant since we were all typing english swear words (it was much shorter to type, and the chinese teachers would not be able to understand them).

You can look at fans of every product and claim they are like a religion. Saying everyone who uses that brand is an over-the-top fanatic is beyond idiotic. The worst people in my experience over the years have been Linux and Amiga owners.

The problem isn't just that 'some' priests molest children. It's that their leaders protect them from the law for doing so.

what kind of leaders are those?

That does not make them christians at all.. more like insane psycopaths. Forget Christianity and the church, true christianity in my opinion is your own self.

You follow your inner God and believe yourself not what others tell you to do.

.. I have no words to say for these type of "christians"

I'm talking about the motherfucking POPE. Like the "messenger of god" for catholics.

What does that say about all catholics who follow his word? The guy who protects pedophiles? And most likely is one himself?

Why would you judge a religion based on the people who believe in it? Should I make fun of Americans just because there are bunch of retards out there following politicians who are so corrupted?

Going back on topic.


If Honda priced their civics 3x that of Corolla... no.... just no... and no "Honda's are reliable" arguments is going to warrant that much expenditure over their competitors.


As for VW, I'd have to familiarize myself more about them before I can comment so I'll leave that out for now.

^ Really? 3x the price? You brought that figure up twice, so it must be true.

What are Apple's best selling products? The iPhone, iPad and iPod. So where are all the competitors to these devices that are just as good for 1/3rd the price? Or where are the products priced the same that are 3x as good?

Once again, I'm going to re-iterate that I'm an apple hater.
However, even as a Google fanboy, I can recognize that there is NOT any equivalent product at 1/3 the price.

Only now are ultra books catching up. (Ex. Asus UX-21). For the same price, the tech has actually come slower.

There is no multi media device like an iTouch that is even close in price, capability and number of applications.

Likewise, all the equivalent flagship smartphones are all above the $600 price point.

Nokia N8 (costs the same to make but less than half the price unlocked)
and
Nokia N9 (costs the same to buy but waaaay better)




but of course what you consider better/worse is entirely subjective but price wise its accurate

"The company notified the Palo Alto police department about his expected death a few days before he died. The police were made aware in case a large number of mourners gathered at his home.

It appears the company knew about his expected death before releasing the iPhone 4S on October 4."
