Mind Numbingly Stupid Comment of the Day

Slashdot links to an article by some android developer who claims that Android is actually a better development platform because it has Java. The idea of Java being a superior development environment than cocoa is bed enough, but the best bit comes from this statement:

While iPhone developers have found that one path to success is playing to our baser instincts (until Apple shuts them down), a number of Android applications are offering practical solutions that unlock the power of a phone that’s really a Unix machine you can slip into your pocket

What the ??? Are you kidding me? So, what you’re saying is that the only Apps on the iPhone are sex apps and only Android offers practical applications? Really? Is that really your best argument for the platform? The sad this is this guy probably believes that himself. What’s even scarier is some of the comments. Particularly those claiming that they “hate the iPhone” as some sort of badge of honour or acceptance requirement for commenting on the story. It never ceases to amaze me how many people resent the idea that Apple is or ever was successful. It’s actually kind of sad.
