Oh, snarky, bitter Apple-bloggers, can you learn to write without subtly (or not so subtly) insulting everybody else? Is it any wonder that people still think of apple users as elitist?

It seems none of them can even begin to imagine people actually preferring another product over an iPhone. I was a happy iPhone user for close to 2 years until I got my Nexus One, and now I am a happy Android user.

I'm fed up with the snarkiness from Apple lovers and haters. I have several Apple products, MBP, iPhone, and Airport Base Station and I have never touted that they are superior or better than other offerings out there. I just silently go along and do my own thing and still attract tons of negative comments. There seems to be an inferiority complex in both Apple fanboys and Apple haters.

Technology in general tends to bring out strong behaviours that seem to be based on cognitive dissonance.

Whether you're talking about Apple/Linux/Windows, XBox/Nintendo/PS3 or Canon/Nikon, you're going to see discussions branch out into quasi-religious debates.

So you're the one!
