You seem to forget the hours I spent figuring out how you could use ConTEXT on a Mac, and then you decided it wasn't worth the effort because of all the extra stuff you would have had to do. There have been other things like that, and you know it.

But you're right, even though this really had nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with being able to completely test a phone OS before buying one (instead of spending 10-15 minutes with it in the store), you're still so right that I'll stop posting all my cool tech finds here and keep them where they're appreciated and welcome. I was trying to be nice and HELP people by giving them that ability.

And I love how the iPhone thread didn't get a single comment.

Lets see:
Official Android Emulator Supported On

Official iPhone Emulator Supported On

• Mac - Must become an iOS Developer @ $99/yr = Not Free.
  

I'm sorry, but Android clearly wins in that contest. I've got 3 Apps (don't call that "Mac's " name for Applications, because its been an abbreviation for Applications before there ever was a company called Apple, and thats all it is, an abbreviation. No one owns a copyright on it, and every company uses it) in development that I wanted to do for both phones. Guess which phone they aren't getting made for? Yeah, thats right.

And the whole reason for Dylan getting pissed? The complete and lack of appreciation; instead shoving another product into it instead. Derailing a discussion thread is one thing, derailing a tech thread with rival tech is another. So. Enjoy the future lack.
