How to tell when you’re dealing with an Apple fanboy…

Sigh. The Apple fanboy. I think we’ve all dealt with one of these in our lifetime. Those annoying people that don’t actually have a reason for their retarded desire to own an iPhone except for the sake of owning an iPhone. And to send out silly emails with the message “Sent from an iPhone” at the bottom. And to whip it out at every possible moment they can to use the phrase “oh, I think I have an app for that…”. Like STFU already.


I’m a gadget enthusiast, and I understand why people like the iPhone. But please, just please don’t proclaim godly status to a device you don’t even understand. Now for those sensible, mature, technology addicts – ping me, I’m always up for a debate.

And yes Apple – I give you props for your awesome marketing. It’s Steve Jobs and your marketing team that made these fanboys in the first place. RIM, HTC/Google, and Microsoft – please step up your game.
