I openly admit what I love and hate about both systems.

I buy on price:performance and I'm not a herd animal.
You buy only on image, and you're an inherent herd animal.

That's why I can handle any and all criticisms about Android, while you
can't handle any criticisms about Apple products.

Since you're a herd animal, there's safety to you in numbers, which is why
you always try to "sell" the number of iphones out there, and the number of
apps, and you ridicule "non-supported" solutions, simply because you feel
safety in the herd, and you can't imagine anyone outside the walled garden.

Likewise, since you bought on pure image and not on price:performance,
anytime someone mentions how the Android OS is inherently superior in what
the user can do, you take that as a threat to your "image".

Meanwhile, the Android user didn't buy on image, and he's not a herd
animal, so, he reacts normally to criticism of his product selection.

I've finally figured out, I think, why you act the way you act (and Jolly
Roger and a host of the other herd animals who buy purely on image and who
find safety in numbers inside the walled garden).
