Horseshit

Joshua Topolsky talking about MG Siegler and John Gruber’s comments about the Galaxy Nexus:

This doesn’t get under my skin because I have some kind of allegiance to one brand or another. It doesn’t get under my skin because I fundamentally disagree that Android 4.0 lacks the polish of iOS.

It gets under my skin because it is a pompous, privileged, insulting, and myopic viewpoint which reeks of class warfare — and it is indicative of a growing sentiment I see amongst people in the tech community.

Popcorn.

Android fans lineup for Galaxy Nexus

Zach Epstein:

The turnout isn’t quite what Samsung’s stiffest competitor draws when it releases a new iPhone, but we rarely see lines form for smartphone launches so this could indicate healthy demand for the world’s first 4G LTE-enabled Ice Cream Sandwich phone.

Okay, lineup is a relative term. I’ve seen this many people queue for a coffee.
