Fanaticism and the wasted energy of the phone wars

iPhone 5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S3. Is this what our culture is now? Two hordes or pretentious nitwits arguing over which giant corporation makes the phone that better represents who they are as people?

This sort of dedication to a product/company always makes me mad. Ask the same people about a their political views on a new bill to raise taxes, that would affect their wallets to buy said products... *blank stare*

I'm definitely not a fan of the rampant consumerism and the idiots on both sides who equate their phone with their identity... but it seems to me that the amount of vitriol and anger in this video suggests that TheAmazingAtheist thinks about this specific topic more than most fanboys I know. He probably has to, as he has quite a few more people to hate on.

Me, I dislike Apple's policies towards developers (and, hence, their walled-garden) and like the ability to write little apps for my Android phone without a subscription. (I tried out writing iOS apps, but found myself doing a lot of mundane things that you don't have to worry about with Java) I'd have tried a Palm Pre, but it wasn't available for T-Mobile.

I'm very interested to see if Blackberry can pull out of their 'slump', and I'd like to see MS become a player again... But I imagine that I'll stick with Android for as long as they're the 'least evil' (read: 'most free') option.

I would rather my Identity include "The guy that is a fan of Open Source and dislikes Apple's corporate policies" than "The guy that gets so worked up about what other people think about other people that he yells and spits at a camera until he's red in the face"... but that's just me.

That's rich. Java is the most mundane language.

I KNOW! When you're programming and you think "Boy, I REALLY wish I could use Java right now", something is very wrong.

The one part that I liked about O-C is the named parameters on methods... Groovy has something similar, with the static init block, which is good enough for me.
