Ya’ll are taking way too serious a look at me just being a dick for fun’s sake.

Linux is incredible prevalent in the infrastructure of the Internet and of corporate networks, and it’s growing on the desktop. If someone REALLY wanted to screw with people, they’d develop a virus for Linux.

And yet, you don’t really see Linux viruses at the same level as Windows viruses. The technical reasons have been beaten to death at many websites on the interwebs, but those reasons largely apply to Macs as well. And logically speaking, there are enough Mac users out there that there would be at least some with enough malicious intent to write viruses for their fellow Mac users, if it were just as easy.

Speaking as an iPhone 3G user, I like it. I don’t get gaga about it the way some people do, but I like it. My girlfriend just got a Droid and I’m very impressed with it. It’s probably a better smartphone than the iPhone. The only downside is that many apps that have been written for iPhone don’t have an Android version, though I expect that to change, since Google is licensing the Android OS to every phone manufacturer making phones for every network and they make the software development tools very easy to get.

And BTW, avoiding a particular line of products because all the cool kids are rushing out to buy them is just as goofy as buying that line of products because all the cool kids are rushing out to buy them.

Finally, if you don’t want to stand in line for an iPhone, buy the previous generation when Apple comes out with a new generation. You’ll save a lot of dough (because Apple always knocks down the price on the previous generation) and the salespeople will love you for not pestering them about the latest and greatest. I bought my 3G last year when Apple came out with the 3GS.

If something is useful to me, I buy it. If it isn’t, I don’t. The brand name makes absolutely no difference to me.
