It's a sad day for technology enthusiasts around the world.

You say that as if it's fake or without reason. My line was completely legit. They thwart technological advance and competition. The slave labour doesn't help either, people who must work there because it is their only way to survive. It's no surprise there are so many suicides annually that Foxconn tries to cover up.

Oh Come on Ade 🙂 I was so disappointed by iPhone5. The reason is sells is because most of the pre-order are my iFans, who wont even conciser anything else if it doesnt half Apple logo on it. Fair enough if you tried all 3 (iOS, WP, Android) but most of them never even touched any other device. You have to agree that there are better phones for less price, but its not "cool" to have if there is a green robot or windows logo on it, when half eaten apple makes people have orgasms!

A phone is a phone to me,as long as i can send and recieve calls/text messages and take the odd picture or record some video which is mainly of my daughter while were out and about,then i couldnt care less about all those apps.
I bought an iphone 3 a good while back,i used it for a day and then shoved it in its box and put it in the drawer and went back to my old phone as i preferred the ease of access and gui.

I agree with some things in your post, and completely disagree a bunch of others (actually, you may have had me mixed up with someone else on one point, or I have Alzheimer's). I was thinking about what point to start replying to first, but then realized my reply would be about 40 pages long. Considering I'll only get about 6 hours of sleep at this point I should probably just shut up. :wanker:
We're never going to agree on Apple, for the sake of preventing any arguments I'm going to try to avoid posting about them. I had 2 news articles to post about they're slowing advance/competition, but I didn't post either, that's a start.
Believe me I wish they were just another company and were merrily enriching our lives while milking all the profit they can, but as I said I just can't see them that way. I'm hoping things will improve in the future, until then, I'm going to TRY to not talk about them. No promises.
Edit:
Yes, yes it is, I've never heard of this Google you speak of. Is it like magnets, how does it work?
Wikipedia contradicts its own stats on other pages, the suicides in 2010 were more than 14 when I looked at it. Just because the suicide rate is SUPPOSEDLY lower than sweat shops and absolute/literal slavery doesn't make what they're doing right. We've all heard all our lives about the horrible conditions in China and those who must work as slaves or die, just because one company is a step above the rest (after being forced to be) doesn't make them any better. The fact remains that they can literally pay all their workers triple meanwhile still making massive profit. Yet they would choose to abuse people even more for a little more money. No, I don't wear any Nike equipment, or any other sweatshop gear that I'm aware of.

My educated guess is that it sells well because a lot of people, that I know, didn't buy 4S because they were waiting for iphone 5.
