Could you clarify exactly what I have said above that could be described as silly?

In a nutshell, all I said was that it was simply a figure of speech, and that you are taking it a little too literally.

I don't see what is silly about that. Perhaps you could explain?

I see so I was right, completely nothing to add besides your usual pedantic nonsense. You think I would learn by now that you have nothing to offer and I must learn to treat your waste of time posts accordingly.

Forget it.

They have a lifetimes supply of soft fudge.

I assume what you mean, is you've now checked and you were wrong. 2/4, not bad for you.

Says the man who somehow managed to twist the Daily Mail's shonky journalism into Apple deliberately misleading millions of Daily Mail readers.

Says the man who talked about Greenpeace being misquoted in an article recently, even though the article did no such thing.

If some people have difficulty following what others are saying, its certainly now down to a surplus of soft fudge.

Keep the insults coming though - given the mods had to delete several posts so recently, you haven't hung about getting started again.

I wonder if we did a straw poll how many people would use phrases such as "my dying breath" "every penny I own" "willing to go thermonuclear war on this" or declaring a "holy war". Heaven only knows who they considered to be the unclean infidels in that scenario , I would assume Apple thought they were the righteous upholders of good in this "holy war"

May be a figure of speech (strange circles you move in) to you (no surprise) but sounds like the ramblings of a mad deluded company to me.


By the way how is that ever more 'sticky' ecosystem must be like glue by now.

Yes. Very exciting words from an author. Made a great story (and headlines).

The sticky ecosystem is working really well, I use it along with my android phone all the time, no problem.

In other news, people say I could murder... all the time, without them ever actually murdering anyone.

Unless Jobs actually was planning on using thermonuclear weapons (and I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that he wasn't) then yes - pretty much all that is actually left in that comment is it being a figure of speech.

And no - its not about me moving in strange circles. Its about my perfectly reasonable ability to tell the difference between an expression used figuratively and something meant literally.

The ecosystem is fine, thanks. Seems that I, along with millions of others, are still able to carry on doing pretty much anything I ever seem to need to do.

Does that include every last possibility that some others might get hung up on? Probably not.

Do I give a rat's arse? Nope.

No you explain. Considering the market share of android why is it surprising new customers to another platform have so many from android?

Have you changed your question? I never expressed any surprise at the figure, I just stated it.

Your previous question seem to be 'where else would they come from'. Did you work it out?

Yeah you said that previously wasn't any more clever the first time either.

Well it seems you find such melodramatic lunacy the norm, although come to think of it that makes perfect sense

Yep everything including handing over your money but glad your happy seems apples plan to wall you in was successful then good lad.

Nice twisting of words again.

It's not about finding "melodramatic lunacy the norm".

It is about realising that a turn of phrase doesn't actually make someone a lunatic.

Ah yes, Apple's fiendish plan. Still not sure what I'm supposed to be missing out on. Or why you seem to think I'd be bothered about missing out on some specific thing that you might happen to consider important.

If only I had a mind of my own like you.

This is a pretty interesting read on the subject:
