> Ruining chances at a second date or eliminating time wasted with pretentious arseholes? >> To a certain type of gadget user, an Android smartphone is a symbol of defiance. These users see Google’s software — its customization options, hardware affordability, and no-frills design — as the perfect refutation of the sterile, mass-marketed appeal of Apple’s iPhone. I have an opposite reaction. Whenever I see somebody pulling out an iPhone, my first thought is that he/she is probably just an idiot who can't do sh&t with their computer with a cellphone attached, and only carry it for showing how cool they are by possessing such a branded and trendy gadget. I have similar thoughts, but much less intense, for other smartphones of the big brands.
