I think we can pretty safely say that this author is living in an iOS-centric fantasyland (I'd have included blurbs from each post to make this point even more apparent, but I didn't want this comment to get too long).
- goronbjorn 13y agoThis is purely ad hominem and doesn't actually refute any of the author's arguments.
- corresation 13y agoAd hominem isn't always bad, and can be a simple efficiency mechanism: We all have limited time in our lives to evaluate and absorb information. Simply having an open platform where everyone presents themselves as an expert and we are culpable of validating every statement and reference isn't reasonable. Similarly, when someone has a strong bias and then makes statements that the bias makes suspect, I want to know up front.
- Intermernet 13y agoThe points the author raised were all opinion and don't require refutation. The two footnotes, which I assumed might be links to further information, were just more opinions. Can you (or the author) provide links to hard data that assert the authors opinion as valid, or should the entire article be based as an as attack on Android (note, not just competitors to iOS, specifically Android)?
