I said that it was difficult for me not to make some sort of negative remark regarding apple products because of my feelings towards their company and image as a whole. You are free to argue that their marketing does not make them lame... but in my opinion, it does... so I call them lame. Like I said.. apple makes quality products, but that does exonerate them from my judgement. If they were less lame, then I wouldn't call them lame. Is that valid?

I agree completely, honestly I'll never buy a Mac or other apple product.
I got the iPhone because everything it has to offer. It just seems like a more linuxy device, you can compile Binaries and crosscompile all from the device... Something android lacks.

Am I hearing you correctly? You can compile binaries on the device itself? If that is really true... then I really have no comeback besides my original statement that they are lame. Now I just wish that they weren't so lame so that I could allow myself to buy one.

I think some android users pat themselves on the back too much. I'm sorry, android users are not any smarter then iphone users. In some cases, I'd argue the exact opposite. Android fanboys are some of the most obnoxious and arrogant people on the internet...far worse then any "iphan"

Thank you for your well intended reply, however I disagree. I don't want to get into a struggle here, but I stand behind my statements.
First, I didn't talk down Mozilla, in fact I was complimenting them.
Second, you think I didn't ask questions or looked things up? Trust me, I spent hours and long over-nights trying to find these answers...getting misdirection and old info constantly. It's easy for you now, but trust me as a "newbie" it is VERY difficult to get a straight answer to anything. ( I'm speaking or the internet and mulitple forums online, not specifcally to this one)
As for questions....probably half my questions were met with derision and scorn, or I received answers that I couldn't possible understand. I have not been treated well by the Android community (though most of this occurred in other forums, that's why I'm here)
Third...I understand your point about the themes...however if you see a picture of something on a box, buy it and what's inside is half that...you'd be fairly pissed. That's all I'm saying....it would be helpful to see what you're getting, not all the nice stuff you're not..but that's a minor point. The designers and developers work really hard and are proud of their work and I appreciate it.
Last...Trust me when I say I followed those steps as you described every time...and installing EVERYTHING is not that simple. Especially when we're talking about the installation of your apps and system data. For example, MIUI you should never reinstall system data, but on most other ROMs you can or should. One ROM wants you to use Titanium Backup, another says not to (so is that a choice or instruction? They don't say). Some ROMs are one file, some are two or more. and I'm not just talking about installing a ROM either...updates and themes all have their quirks. Some authors provide 4 or 5 files, with little description for them. Are they all to be installed? Are some just the wallpapers? Is one just an update and the other one complete?
I'm trying to be helpful and hopefully improve things for others by mentioning these things...not trying to be negative or nasty. Sometimes when we all become very experienced in something, we forget what new people do and don't know, or what access to resources they have. With the really bad experiences I've had so far in this world, most people would have reinstalled the stock ROM and walked away without saying anything.
If you wish to know more or continue the conversation, I'd be happy to in a more private setting than in the forums...for me I've said what I need to publicly.

I agree that iTunes is now an epic fail. I purposely bought a non-apple mp3 player simply because iTunes was downright stupid. That being said I've seen some good things from them. I used to work for Geek Squad and I saw more broken iPhones than anything. I personally hate the screen and the fact that iPhones aren't as PC compatible. If you're a Mac junkie though, go for it.

How is iTunes a fail? I've been using it for years. I have 10 days worth of music stored on my Mac and iTunes does a great job of managing them. Now I use it to back up and update my iPad.
You just say things like "epiic fail" but you don't give a single reason why. you just hate to hate because that's what all the "cool" android kids do.
I'm not gonna say that iTunes is an epic fail but i am gonna say i don't like it at all. If you buy an ipod or a iphone you have no choice in the matter of using iTunes. Its either use iTunes or dont interface your device with your PC. I think this act in itself is an evil thing to do. Its the fact of control...
Yeah.... I used MediaMonkey when I had one... but no third party application can sync your iWhatever's apps. You still need software that syncs with your iTunes account... that's the problem.

Wug, you're being VERY disingenuous about Mac users. To classify them as all "computer noobs" and technically inept could not be any farther off base if you tried. In fact, many of THE most technically capable people I know are partial to Mac. By far. You're letting your blind hatred of Apple taint your vision.
But I digress. This is bordering on branching into a pissing contest and I would really like for it to come back on track now. And I will say this, I HIGHLY recommend the comments and implications about the intelligence of Apple users stop now. I am quite serious about that.
And yes, I use Apple, and Windows, and Android.

Being bias to a company is pointless, by being bias your just doing exactly what they want. Sometimes people are so loyal to a company they're blind to something even better.
