    I guess you can't see the humor in it.

    why is he going to be banned, because he stated that majority of Android phones are badly arranged and truly have no workflow structure to the apps on the phone and Google Play is reflection of  Android supposedly ecosystem (with a laugh)


    Oh yes lets ban him for speaking against Google/Android on a Apple focused/fan site.

    iSheldon/iGenius/Teckstud is just holding a grudge for when I've decimated his weak arguments over the years.

    You know what else is a visual downgrade, using the iPhone 5 after a couple of months with a Galaxy S3. The text and graphics are just a little bit too small.

    Why couldn't Apple have done a 4.3 inch iPhone? It would provide more legibility, it would still be above the 300dpi Retina threshold at the current 1136x640 resolution, it would simply be more comfortable to use, and it would still be narrow enough to meet Apple's requirement that you can text one-handed.

    Apple might want to think back to their success with 12 inch and 14 inch iBooks with the same screen resolution, and roll out a 4.3 inch iPhone alongside the current model, so that the big-fingered and short-sighted among us have an option.

    His intellect vastly outweighs the majority of users that have begun to pollute these boards. I can't speak to his accomplishments, but someone has to say smarter things than idiots. How would we know any better otherwise?

    The writing in this site used to be so much better. That headed down hill fast over the past year. And AI really can't gripe about anyone having made bad design choices with this horrid ad bloated white layout, clumsy has hell comments layout and the lack of a smart phone compatible forum. Talk about pot meet kettle on that one


     


    Judging from some other comments, you could probably blame this on Steve Jobs not being around.

    Just curious, but why would you trade in an S3 after a few months?  Wouldn't you have to pay a huge ETF, or were you just playing around with an iPhone 5 in a store?  I wish Apple would have come out with a larger iPhone as well, but they seem very attached to the one-handed operation perspective.  I think the phone and the OS are upgrades over what was offered before, but was hoping for more in terms of screen size.

    iSheldon was offended that he didn't think of the joke first.


     


    I liked Solipsism's post because the joke is what is written there; he never had a separate "joke" written, whatever content it could entail, at all. It's only funny because of what is there, as well as because it gets people thinking about what would have been there otherwise.


     


    I love that kind of humor. I'm sure it has a name.

    Yes, they are quite proud. Of that post, no, but in the same way they aren't proud that I can best a chihuahua on a calculus test.
