> [@LZ](#): > > Worst comparison ever Yeah I think it makes sense in a way. Most apple consumers are buying an apple product because it’s an apple product. They don’t know why it’s good, how it’s good, all they know is their friends and family have them, it’s expensive, and it’s made by Apple. I’m not lumping all users in there, because there are definitely Apple power users. My parents even though they have 35/35 FiOS internet, still use the AOL desktop client for browsing the internet. I’ve tried pushing browsers on them and they won’t listen. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > I dunno. I hate their marketing/culture crap as much as anyone, but they make some really good shit. This. I absolutely hate going to the apple store because the level of douche there is way over my tolerance levels, but my iPhone just works. Be it as a phone, tomtom GPS, video streamer when we were in outer banks or back woods GPS snowmobiling. People really need to get over their whole “but I hate the company” thing. Brand loyalty is for idiots. ---

Word. Hating a company because its founder was a fruitarian d-bag is as bad as loving it because purchasing their products make you smarter than the rest of us. ---

Google says enough… decides to go after Apple, essentially defending Motorola: > **[Google Has Had Enough: Files Lawsuit To Ban Multiple Apple Products - AndroidPIT](https://www.androidpit.com/google-vs-apple-android)** > > Google is now directly seeking a ban with Motorola on sales of Apple products including the iPad, iPhone, and Macs in the United States. "This is the first case that Google has signed off on in defending their new hardware company, meaning that there’s no more lurking in the background providing support. This is full on Google with their law team directly involved. This isn’t Google watching from the sidelines, but instead, they are calling this one play by play. But Google and Motorola were clever, as this isn’t a lawsuit that focuses on silly topics such as icons or square shaped tablets. Google and Motorola are claiming patent infringement for non-standard essential patents. **To put it simply, Google-rola has filed a case for a patent that courts cannot legally force companies to license, meaning that if they win this case, Apple could be forced to completely stop using the technology in their devices."** This is the heavyweight bout, kids. ---

WTF?? @13:30 he talks about the design patent and completely contradicts himself a few seconds later ---

You’re missing the point. Its quite simple really. AOL dumbed down connecting to and browsing the web. Apple/iPhone dumbed down smart phones for the masses. Both easy to use for the lazy and/or intellectually challenged.
