Intent was to show that if Apple had created the Google Play non/play Model for iOS that Google has for Android, Steve Jobs would have been riding a crap storm from day one of the original iPhone to his grave.
Why? The Android model is how software has been distributed for every other computing platform besides iOS, including the Mac.
"Android is obviously for really poor people"???? What are you smoking?? I have a lot of friends and know a lot of people who bought iPhones but switched to android because of the restrictions. Let me add that they are not too tech savvy, so they don't know about jailbreak and stuff. They went back to android because they can't interact "normally" with other devices. (Bluetooth transfer, drag and drop on a pc, syncing music etc..) Understandable, I have never used an android phone, I used blackberry's but when I switched to the iPhone 3G a couple of years ago, I really had to adept and get used to it. Never ever switched to another platform though. Also I know a lot of people who are just waiting for a bigger screen sized iPhone and simply chose for android because of the screen size. So don't you ever say that "obviously" android is for really poor people again.
So the difference in average selling price signfies nothing then?
So you're saying defiance of the restrictions is a key driver to switch? What is a terrorist if not defiant? It's the top of the slippery slope.

It's obvious terrorist organizations would use Android. That's because they can modify it to do what they wish.
As they wish is a little conceited, surely you mean as Allah wills. The problem is there's little evidence of success with Android, there's no regard for IP, budgets get blown and deadlines get missed and these guys work to some pretty tight deadlines.
Judging from the gobbledegook that is your post, I would say that you are the archetypal Android user; even that six year old iPhone is far too good for you.
Android?? Haha, I'd rather buy a Nokia 1100 with flashlight than to use android. Bought the 3GS when it came out, skipped the 4 because of antenna gate. I'm on an iPhone 4s now simply because of the screen size. To me 3,5" is the ideal size. Don't like the design of the 5 and later. Looks like a stretched out 4s to me. If you alter the length, alter the width also. Might buy a new iPhone but simply because of the capabilities and not the design. Not a fan of big phones or the design of how the iPhones look now. Don't know why you think I'm an android user. Is it is it because I told the truth about the things happening in my environment and country? Because they have enough money to buy two iPhones, but like I said, they like "freedom" and "ease" of use. It's what they're used to.
Bonnie and Clyde loved their Ford V8s. Clyde even wrote a letter to Henry Ford saying what a dandy car it was. The letter is on display at the Ford Museum now. So it is of historical curiosity when criminals favour a certain product. "
Maybe Google can put up a letter of recommendation from AQ next to the employee mandate... Don't be evil (unless you're a valued customer)
Android is obviously for really poor people and now it's also apparently for Al-Qaeda terrorists too!
I didn't think that my opinion of Android users could possibly sink any lower than it currently is, but amazingly, I detest Android users even more than before now.

It's because it's the internet and the persona he has on here allows all the bigotry to flow with no consequence. Whereby you have to wade past the crud to get to any nuggets in his posts.
I'm not going to bother to search back through all of my prior posts, but I'm almost certain that I have mentioned something similar to this topic a long time ago, at least once, if not more.
Going back many years ago, when they were hunting down terrorist scum in crappy places like Afghanistan and Pakistan, when the terrorists were captured, they almost always had ugly and bulky PC laptops!
I'm not saying that it is inconceivable or impossible, but I've never heard of any Islamic terrorists who were caught with Macs. And believe me, this subject is right up my alley, so I know what I'm talking about. When they shot dead the disgusting Bin Laden, do you think that he had a Macbook Air in his compound? Hell no.
It also makes perfect sense that Al-Qaeda terrorists prefer Android!
Apple is for creative people, and terrorists are not exactly the creative type. And no, figuring out new ways of killing people or blowing yourself up does not qualify as being creative.

I'm actually taking a flight tomorrow to Vegas. I assume that I will mostly only see iOS devices being used on my flight, but I will certainly be keeping an eye out for anybody who is using Android on the plane, as they are far more likely to be a terrorist.
It may have been true at one time that more creative people were drawn to Apple's products, but as Apple hit the mass market and all types of people from all types of backgrounds, careers and political allegiances now use Apple's products, this is no longer true. This site proves that many Apple products are used by notoriously uncreative (and some not so intelligent) people.
Correlation does not imply causation.
Maybe terrorists wear cheaper clothes made of polyester, so by your way of thinking, you should be suspect of anyone wearing polyester as more likely to be a terrorist.
Or maybe terrorists eat more dried fruit than the average person, so you should be suspect of anyone eating dates or dried apricots.
This is a terrible article that is nothing more than bad propaganda. It serves to imply that Android is "bad" because terrorists "prefer" it. Terrorists don't necessarily prefer it. It just happens to be what's available. If terrorists in the third world happened to use Panasonic radios, should we draw any implications from that? The whole thing is ridiculous and beneath AI. What's next, an article that African-Americans prefer Samsung?

So next time when i want to spot a terrorist, i go to YouTube and look for a negative comment about an iPhone video
Good one DED, absolutely loved it!

I thought it would tap out at 'discombobschlobulated' , but no — it just got better and better. This has made my morning.
And no matter how ridiculous you think this article is, it's Pulitzer worthy when compared to the dross written about Apple on an almost hourly basis.
Hahahahah!!!

Apparently Vertu didn't get that memo.
How can you detest a group of people simply because of the mobile OS they use on their phone, what is wrong with you.
Makes me think of this:
[VIDEO]
Android users at their computers there. They had trouble running the app on their mobile devices so went back to the laptops:

Because he's an internet tough guy. I'm sure in real life he's quiet and avoids contact with any and all humans.
It makes him feel better about himself.
I enjoyed reading the article.
We should start spreading the news that "Android Enables Terrorist" That would be a great clickbait head line.
Awesome topic!
