- detritus 4y agoI had to check to see if you were kidding. You're not. That's hilarious. Petty, and hilarious.
- bitwize 4y agoThat's almost as good as the Windows Vista/7 icon for "Network" -- computers connected to a pneumatic tube (referencing Senator Ted Stevens and his "series of tubes" comment).
- s3p 4y agoActually love this one lol
- stjohnswarts 4y agothey want to prepare you :)
- rsfinn 4y ago...which suggests that the notion that some designer at Apple subtly decreased the contrast on green bubbles to make them look "gross" is ridiculous -- if they really wanted to make SMS messages look bad, they could be much less subtle about it...

They have to be very, very subtle, and ride the fine line between effectiveness and outrage, never going too much on a side or the other. The best and most enduring conspiration theories have originated from such deliberate and surgical manipulations. The goal they are after: most people will unknowingly abide and be manipulated, while the minority will go nuts proclaiming they know the truth. Welcome to propaganda 101, aka destructive marketing.
- cluse 4y agoGoogle offered several times to work with Apple to get full compatibility with their messages. Apple refused every time. This is Apple's deliberate choice.

- trissylegs 4y agoUnless you enable fruit vfs then it thinks it's a mac but doesn't not what model you so get a big question mark.
