They're all evil, Android equally as much as Apple.
I just prefer Android's variety and the ability to customize it.
Otherwise, Apple isn't that bad, just limiting. lol
I'm no fan of Google, hence www.startpage.com
I'm also no fan of Apple either.
I'm not on Facebook and don't trust any of these big computer giants.
Linux FTW.
My views on apple have completely changed because of this patent bs.

With the whole Motorola takeover, Google should soon have enough patents to do some damage to Apple. Why don't these companies just put their money towards making better equipment to compete with, instead of all these lawyer fees to just ban the competition..it's pathetic. And our patent system is just retarded for even granting Apple these bulls**t patents in the first place.

It depends which countries grant the patents/bans. You can buy them from any country that they are allowed to be sold in.

It's all for hollywood. Socialist liberal richer for the rich overhaul, people want to slow each other down to have an unabolished advantage. No one wants the unexpected to occur with people and custom control on android, they all want to be double wielded and play on occurring social problems rather than helping, they hurt all the uprising and upcoming. Soar losers they seem. The people succeed the happier they become. The more they forfeit the wages begin to be death after a reasonable time instead of populating, the are extracting the work away from people. Look at the stuff in the recent days. I foreclose.

LOL Apple patent trolling is cute. Android isn't just a 3rd party OS anymore (if ever). Let's remember that Android is Google's baby, as one of the comments under the link suggested. In what world is Apple going to "dominate" Google? Android, a small part of Google, is in competition with Apple. Studies also suggest Android is "finally" more popular and more used than iOS and its devices. Obviously if Android fell, Apple would rule the world...but this is all hypothetical on a thesis that Android is its own company, not belonging to one tech giant- Google.
Also if Google/Android do struggle, so do Samsung, HTC, Motorola (the part not owned by Google), LG, etc. At the end of the day it's Apple vs. all of these companies

I love my GS2 and I've never owned an Apple product, but I know where the credit is due. Mac, MacBook, Mac OS, iPod, iPhone, iPad -- all of these pushed consumer electronics to new levels. Even if you never used one, Steve Jobs and his team were the ones that pushed everyone to set the bar higher and higher. Thanks Steve.

It's more like a meeting for like minded people. Cyanogen mod has a keynote, other people speak, and it's a lot of fun. Some people probably do some work when they are there (there is going to be 1000ish people this year, chances are someone out of them does).

I think what most people on XDA have taken exception to is HTC's complete disregard for GPL compliance. Locked bootloaders and partial source code (if any) abound. It's not that the devs don't like a challenge, it's just that they take offense to a company going out of their way to block them and completely disregard the law.

s4
I say go for the s4 its more high tech HTC one is not quality brand
The HTC One phone looks cool, HTC Sense looks good.
S4 , looks wise is similar to S3

with recent court rulings about patents not worth as much as they initially thought, I would imagine Google is ready to cut their losses on this one
The one's build quality is too premium to pass and the s4's features seem more like gimmicks
