Re: Why is TP2 better than iphone

^Have you tried Nitrogen? That's pretty much all I use anymore. It's great. Runs from the card, quick, has an equalizer, and its skinnable.

iPhones honestly really remind me of Sidekicks. I had one back in 04 & that damn thing drove me nuts. I hacked it as much as I could but it was still SO limited. I had it for a year & ditched it for a Treo 650.

Like I said earlier, my main beef with apple is that they shamelessly market to the Myspace 'n' Facebook LIKE OMG crowd who care more about looking cool than getting a good value out of their computer purchase. I just don't like companies that operate that way. I'm a frugal person, and while I don't mind paying a lot for a quality device that I will get a lot of use out of(ahem, TP2), I hate overpriced crap. And apple is the reigning ruler of overpriced crap. I have noticed that the main crowd that buys apple stuff is usually yuppies & college students. They will happily pay 2 grand for a basic laptop just because its stylish & simple enough to operate that a 2 year old could work it. It's all overpriced status symbols as far as I'm concerned. I know I know, what should I care, right? I dunno why, but it just irks me. It's so wasteful. Same thing as those tanorexic girls who buy $800 purses.

My mom's friend tried to sell her her old MacBook for $600 last year. My mom(a complete tech-tard) was about to buy it too, she thought it was a good deal! I told her that if she bought it I would smash it on the sidewalk & slap her till she cried. Then I took her to Wal-Mart & picked her out a $400 laptop that had a bigger screen, bigger HD, better processor, and more ram.
