Please do. Chuck is waiting there for this thread to arrive. Actually chuck doesn't wait threads, threads wait for Chuck.

What do i have against Apple?

Proprietary hardware required to utilize standard features.
Too much content control, media in particular.
No convenient exchangeable battery.
Memory expansion difficult or impossible.
Pricey!
The underlying arrogance that permeates their marketing.


What I like about Apple?

Generally superb hardware design and execution.
Polished interface design.

What I'm neutral on with Apple?

Their apps and media stores.
I like to purchase Uncompressed Media in hard-copy form when possible and convert to my esoteric format choices. But I understand and appreciate these online stores are a delight for many consumers.

If not them, there would've eventually been someone else to do the job. It was inevitable...

I suggest you stay away from Off Topic and Competitors forum to avoid any potential silliness

I like this comment from the Apple website

"People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality."

I can't beleive this thread is still going (I still can't believe its not butter).

I know, I'll say something controversial:

"what do you guys have against apple?"

Customer's naked-oiled bodies saying "Here's my money Mr Jobs and you can say anything you like because we believe you."

I thought this was an enthusiast's site. It's enough that the rest of the world is so emotionally effected by marketing, but to read on here how rabid people get about product blurbs is just laughable.

Either sh*t works or it doesn't, stop being such an ad tool and do your homework. That's what I tell my son right before we walk into the Apple store. All they need now is some free cookies and milk.

Video calling is a fubing nightmare beyond the one-shot demo. It's been around for decades and nobody wants it.

I would if people would look like they do in the commercials. They don't.

Not to mention all video calls need to be on speaker or headphones.

Horrifying. I can't even picture anything more horryfying. Maybe rub-against calls. Or Smellophone.

Great! Now I'm gonna have nightmares for weeks. OTOH, a brand new door in prank calls.

You couldn't be more wrong. Unless you were joking.

Horrifying? Then this should go well with your nightmares. Courtesy of Apple iChat.

I think the company that gave us the taco-phone could find a way around this...
