How much was that droid?
I got Jacked at Best-Buy for $900 on a I-pad2 for my daughter, WTF was I thinkin, LOL!!!
Oh no... you're gonna get me started... Sorry but you said the I-Word...
beforewarned the following rant is absolutely accurate and may hurt Apple user's feelings....
$449@Best Buy. I can't buy an Apple product. My conscious will not allow it. Even tho I probably would use an Ipad and even enjoy it a little... (as I throw it on the ground, stomp on it, and set it a blaze before hailing Satan.. okay just kidding about the Satan part but still it's an Ipad, created by the Devil.. Steve Jobs.. Rest in Agony)
I can not and will not support anything by Steve Jobs. Even tho he has left us... Still cannot conform to the masses of tech illiterates (not every Ipad user.. but most of them)
I admit my backround is different from most people and I have opinions that may be different than most but they are based on actual factual points that are intellectually positively 100% correct like the fact that Apple is a Cult designed to suck the souls of the living back inside and out of it's tantalizing touchscreen entrance to the Abyss where the Devil himself Steve Jobs makes two completley seperate different piles.. one for human souls, and one that's consisting of Gold Bullion, hundred dollar bills, and stacks of lists of people's credit card numbers.
Back in the day I was a young cyber phreak/self ordained computer elitist ... I used to be all into private BBS systems, phone
phreaking, carding, cracking.. pretty much anything you're not supposed to use a computer to do, I did. I was part of a local
2600 club and would meet monthly with other electronic anarchist types and cause so much mayhem and destruction..Kevin Mitnik, Emmanuel Goldstein, and Marilyn Manson were my heroes. I was a little jaded and a little bitter at being thrown into the world at a young age without a decent stable roof over my head. Being out on my own since 15 years old I learned to hustle and survive. I bounced back and forth alot.. discovered at a friends house this whole world of electronic communication that was mostly underground at the time before the world wide web... connecting to a computer via a telephone line at home to distribute emails, messages, files, and doing all so at 300 bits/second.. before 56k, before 28.8k, before 14.4k.. and even several generations before that... 300baud.. holy f*cking slow.
It would take a complete minute or abouts to fill a blank black screen with nothing but text.. but you could send that data across the country or globe via sound... the computer would convert data to sound and the phone line was it's means to carry on that signal... with anything new or technologically advanced there is always this blind ignorance that surrounds it a while.. people seemed to take alot longer time to adapt to technological change back then.. now everyone's streaming netflix, watching youtube, buying flatscreen high resolution tvs, shopping on ebay, and making facebook friends. 15 or 16 years ago if you were to put an Ipod or Ipad in some common person's hands they'd be like "wtf is this dang near gadget contraption doohickey thingamafrig?"
"Most People" are generally tech retarded... I think we are evolving.. they do not seem as dumb this year as two years ago.. but the common person is more likely to pay an employee at BestBuy hundreds of dollars on over priced services and cables that are marked up 1000% in cost just to ease into the transition of buying a new gadget or device. It gives some people peace of mind to spend $400 or so on non tangible extended service plans (bullshit warranties), things like GEEK SQUAD black tie protection.. gimmie a friggin break.. and now my favorite example.. the fuckin Ipad that lets a user connect to an Apple store to DOWNLOAD (copy) their data.. to your device at a charge per download...??? So now not only do people spend $600 or more on the device that enables them to connect to the manufactures website enter credit card data and funnel more money to them, little by little every now and then for years and then after owning the thing less than 2 years.. they upgrade a a friggin IPAD2.. whole new O/S... hahaa the cycle continues... and after paying $.99cents a couple hundred times you now have the equivalent of 20 compact discs but those Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber songs in the "I just got buttfucked by Apple and I like it" playlist can be completely separate from the "I have too much disposable income and like to flaunt it" playlist. Last night I was in a grocery store and some 18 year old or abouts boy here in ghetto town USA were shoppin with his mom. Flaunting his Ipad as he walked up and down the Aisle crankin some shitty Little Wayne song on those miserable built-in speakers that have tweeters the size of a cheerio. They were done shopping and I saw them go up to the checkout whip out the foodstamps and take home those T-bone steaks courtesy of societies tax dollars. But they were stuntin! Ipad at the grocery store.. Little Wayne and Angus Beef... RAAAWWRR!
I use computers now for many things. Obtaining Cannabis Genetics Even!
But having a toy that costs so much money just to have it's real full purpose be a means and way to organize "MEDIA" that is getting pumped and funneled from the SAME COMPANY that MAKES IT'S OWN STOREFRONT at however many cents or dollars at a time, over and over and over.. Ohh and you ever try to SYNC an IPAD or IPOD to a new computer that has a fresh new copy of ITunes installed with an Empty library? It will conveniently automatically delete every file you have on your device to match that empty library! Then you can pay for it all over again.. what fun!
Did I mention I hate Apple. Okay I'm done now.
Androids let you completely customize the device. Download transfer anything you want from anywhere. Most have MicroSD slots.. USB transfer from a folder to the device a breeze, no need to open a stupid Storefront Itunes software package just to add movies or music or anything to your device. They cost less, perform better if you buy the right tablet... Completely Superior in every way. Android is to Apple what Bodhi is to Greenhouse Seed Co... way better.
Okay so sue me I was almost done. =P
Ohh and I HATE Apples .MOV file format. Sucks ass. Who uses that shit? No flash either. Meh.
Edit: Karma.. Sell it while you still can! & then buy a Tegra2 Honeycomb Tablet.. You don't have to join the collective!! Hahaa
