I'm guessing about that "fruit" thing, it's more of a slur against the iPhone users than anything else.

Pity we can't get along. I use both, but you don't see me calling my Android a "pastry".

My point is, normal folks don't call an iPhone a fruit. Neither do I call an Android phone a "clunker", "pastry" or any replacement term. Why else would anyone replace a term only to have a different agenda in mind?

What's wrong with calling it by its name?

sounds more like you're doing it out of retaliation and name-calling than the "there's nothing wrong" motive.

Google "fruity" and see what definition you get. I don't wanna assume coz you know what they say about assumption?

I'm just curious behind the reason and motivation of calling the iPhone a "fruit". Someone did mention that Blackberry is a fruit as well, which are you referring to when you call something a "fruit"? Being forthcoming here, not "beating around the bush".

Wasn't directing that "fruit" enquiry to you but you did come into the conversation, so it 's collateral damage to you. didn't meant you any ill either. One user here uses that term in a derogatory manner, you'll see what I mean when you looked at his post history. If you meant well, then more power to you. This other person, uses it in constant prolonged retaliation even when unprovoked.

No problem. Newton's Third Law applies.

Having some Gingerbread cookies while posting this. Want some? Coffee doesn't destress.

Something we can both agree on.

Yup. We all can read between the lines.

My Nexus is arriving next week.

I live on a motto: "Don't start what you can't finish".

I don't mind rivalry, but it's one-sided when he kept on harping on it, even when he wasn't provoked. You can say, he's the one prolonging the hate, when there is nothing to hate on. Just something I observed.

I'd like to think I have a good judge of character (although I do make mistake on that part sometimes) the "expensive guy" may be more expensive, but he has better rapport than the "cheap Nexus but no warranty" fella. Either way, I stick with my convictions when I've made them. Hence the "expensive guy".

Yes, but why are you bringing the hate here? In droid13579's case, he wasn't even provoked when posting "fruit". Even if he or you have been scarred by the "fruity" thread, why are you spreading the hate here? Are you building an army to feed your hate?

Again, I suggest listening to John Lennon's Imagine song, and listen to the lyrics. You'd be a better and bigger person if you learn to live with each other than spreading the hate.

P/S: again with the "fruity" name-calling. It's that important to label them that way eh? What about someone who are on both side of the fence like me, should I be offended when you label me that?

Photaf Panorama does it, although in ICS, it's built into the camera app.

Let's put it this way.

You don't imply it's offensive when you say "fruity". The rest of the populace who associate the word "fruity" with this Urban Dictionary definition, implies it is offensive. So where do we go from here? Follow the majority of the folks who associate the word "fruity" as what is implied in the Urban Dictionary, or you?

Very easy, stop labeling slur derogatory word, then, in your own words, nobody will feel "butthead" here, or made to look like a "butthead".

Repeat after me, it's iPhone, not a "fruit", it's iPhone user, not "fruity user". Easy peasy, lemon squeezey.

So which one of the three out of five of those word do you mean when you mention "fruity" user? Please do tell.

I have refrained from swearing, name-calling or calling someone by any other names all this while in this conversation. I suggest you extend that same courtesy as well. All I'm seeing here is a response from a deep-seated anger issue, from past experiences.

So if you use those two definitions, does it makes sense in the context of "fruity user".

If (1), then it's an apple user. If (2), then it an user that smell richly of apple. Which part of that makes sense to you?

There is this thing called "social norms". Google it if you don't understand what that means. It is normal/understandable to call someone who uses an iPhone, "an iPhone user". It is abnormal to call someone who uses an iPhone, a "fruity user". It is an accepted urban colloquial term to associate the word "fruity" to the other definitions (gay or crazy) you did not select. To avoid confusion, why don't we refrain from calling them ("them" here includes me too, you know? Coz I use an iPhone ) a "fruity" user, coz you may not imply any derogatory terms on them, but they don't know that until they question you like I do, right? Nobody wants to start an unnecessary argument, right?

Pretty much relaxed. The context of that "stress" reply is more on poking the response it was directed at. Aye?

And I'll offer my piece of mind every time, that word is mentioned. There has to be check and balance. Simple as that. Ignorance, feigned or pure.

I wanna see the NyanDroid!

Please test the "volume glitch". Turn your phone to EDGE/2G mode and see if it glitches here.

Great news! More looking forward to getting mine next week!

Just finished uploading 5,883 songs into Google Music already, this will be a good alternative than to keep songs inside the Galaxy Nexus, since it's fixed 16GB storage and no option to increase it anymore.

Google Music for songs, Plex for Android for movies.
