Google is siding with Motorola on this, by failing to commit to NOT using FRAND based standards to keep competitors out of markets.

And I have stepped over the line before. I do try to word my digs in such a way that they aren't technically ad hominen attacks and thus are unseen by mod radar sweeps but every now and then I catch a bullet.

Or should I be making more than one choice...

Can you provide any further clues?

If that's all you have, then you have no argument left, and nothing more to contribute to that exchange. Better just to be silent.

I've requested this feature before, but I would love to see a reverse-ignore list, as I would like to be able to block certain people from reading my posts, as not everybody is deserving. That would be the ultimate feature and would make me very glad. I estimate that around 5%-10% of posters would be blocked.

And instead of coming up with personal attacks, why not explain why SJ could declare that great artists steal, which they have "shamelessly" done but nobody else can. It might raise what others are considering of your intelligence level.

Android has lag because there's so much going on at once like, widgets, live wallpaper, etc. Is it because it's easier to use? Some make think it's too easy and boring. The tiny screen? Have to zoom in on every website to read and see pictures. Many like big screens to view sites and pictures better. The iphone is better because Apple tells you what you can and can't do with your phone? Millions like android because you have freedom what you can do to your phone. You can add themes, any type of widget, and even there's numerous types of lock screens. I for one love using android. What you can do to it is endless. I have played with the iphone few times here and there. Even used Siri. I was bored with the iphone 5 minutes later and think Siri is not all that special. "She" can't understand what planet i live on. I think the iphone it self is a good phone, but how would you feel if you bought a car and you can only buy new tires from the dealership and it has to be the tires that came with it. You can't change the paint, customize it, and can't listen to cds. To listen to music, you must use a special device. If that's the life you want, than I am happy for you. Someone tells you what you can and can't do on a device that you payed for out of your pocket. I rather have that freedom.

The point I am trying to make is that who gave the right for Apple to wonder this planet suing anyone that is "copying" Apple? Everyone copies everyone. Honda was first to come out with the Vtec engine. Everyone else "copies" and now every engine has their version of "vtec." Most people on this board are acting like babies. Destroy android! destroy android! And why it took 3 long years for Apple to start suing android? Why didn't they start suing from day 1? If we don't "copy" someone else idea and improve on it, we will all still be using tube TVs, rotary phones, and etc. Go to any store and count every clone product out there. Clothes, games, toys, everything.

I still don't see anything special about the iphone. For the last 5 years, the iphone still looks the same. Android; however, has changed so much. The phones have improved, the OS has improved, everything. Android has added NFC, 3D, face unlock, and the list goes on. What has Apple added to make it that much more? My 3 reason why i do not like the iphone, the screen is too small. I have a droid Eris. Can't stand the screen size. The OS is boring. Number 3, seen one you seen them all. Can anyone change my mind why the iphone is much better?

Point being is that everyone does it everywhere. However, Apple thinks its the only one that someone can't steal from. This after SJ himself declares that great artists steal. That pretty much makes him and Apple the hypocrites of the last 2 decades.

Fandroids will never win, and so I am back.

Who am I kidding? Do you think that I'd be able to miss the opportunity to bash and destroy Fandroids yet again, now that the iPad 3 is right around the corner?

That tablet is going to be the final death of any Android based tablets. The iPad 2 already kills everything else out there, but the iPad 3 is just going to be so many lightyears ahead of any Android tablet, and I'll be getting one on day one.

As for the lightyears ahead comment, I was mostly thinking about the new, ridiculous Hi-Res screen, if that happens to be true. The iPad 2 is no slouch in the power department, and it is quite obvious that the iPad 3 will be even more powerful, both in terms of CPU power and GPU power. It'll also most likely have better cameras and some rumors speak of a larger battery. Combine all of those features together with the ultra-smooth and reliable iOS which runs a ton of amazing apps and you've got yourself one hell of a killer tablet.

Who knows, maybe some Android tablet will eventually come out with some sort of Hi-Res screen too, I wouldn't be surprised by that, as they all follow in Apple's footsteps, but as we all know, features alone won't mean anything if the whole package doesn't come together and flow smoothly.

My main area of expertise is audio and music, and no true pros would ever choose an Android based system, as it is laggy as hell and totally unsuitable for anything of importance.

Try to follow the whole thread of points and counterpoints, if you can.

It is rumored that the iPad 2 may drop $100 and be priced at $399 when the iPad 3 comes out. But, if the iPad 3 is priced at $499, then I'd say that it's totally worth it to spend $100 more and get the iPad 3. If you can get the iPad 2 for real cheap used or something, then that is a different story of course. There's nothing wrong with the iPad 2 of course. The iPad 2 is an awesome tablet, I've been using mine just about every day for the past year.

But if the choice is between $399 for the iPad 2 and $499 for the iPad 3, then I'd say that there's really not even much to think about. Get the iPad 3. There will undoubtedly be some new games and apps coming out that will be tailor made for the Hi-Res iPad 3 screen. All text and characters when reading books or websites will be much crisper etc.

Either way, I'm sure your wife will be happy. Just don't be one of those husbands who buys their wife one of those cheap Android tablets, because in the best case scenario, she might withhold sex for 12 months and in the worst case scenario, she might divorce you.
