Micro-usb isn't standard ?!? I've always come across devices that are compatible.

Heh... should've put an /s after that. ;)  I'm just saying that the level of precision in the connectors and receptacles is almost nil on many devices and cables. So half the time even though I have it aligned and oriented correctly, the plug won't go in.  I feel like each time I charge something, I run the risk of breaking that connector or tweaking it even more.

Gotcha. But in all fairness, you can't really compare the quality standards of 1 company against multiple ones. No wonder Apple can get it right, they're alone in making the connectors. The 30pin connector was more akin to the micro-usb, had to fiddle around with it quite some.

And how about USB3? I have a portable HDD which is only ever used with it's own, supplied, USB3 cable, but still the socket shell and that silly little knub are getting deformed.
With the micro-usb phone sockets, the trouble comes when I forget which manufacturer fits their socket upside down!  :)p2

6) iOS updates keep changing shit.

.

I had a motorola Defy+. Motorola never provided any updates. I was mostly fine with that, because I was happy with it anyway. Update fever is mostly just update fever/

I have an Asus Fonepad. Asus cares: they are issuing upgrades for firmware and software. An upgrade gave me Android "KitKat." Now Google, not me, decides what can and can't be written to my sdcard.  The Android garden is not entirely unwalled, and it isn't all roses.

Still, I have never set foot in the Apple garden, and never intend to, and I certainly do not want Microsoft in my pocket. I cannot imagine hating Android more (as mkubota1 puts it) than I hate mictrosoft. I'm no google lover, but I detest microsoft.

I loved the initial concept of the Asus phone pad with tablet as an extension for the phone.

Apple is okay for now. I still have my old Nokia though  :)p8

Holding a 7-inch Fonepad to one's ear.... It can be done! If it would fit in a shirt pocket, I'd probably say "to hell with looking silly: never stopped me doing anything before..."

Apple is ghey.

And you're either homophobic, bigoted, 12 years old, or some combination of the above.  Seriously, Marv, it's 2015. Get a clue.

ghey <> gay. ghey = a derivation of gay meaning lame. meant to be non-offensive to individuals of a homosexual persuasion.

As you said, it's 2015. Get a clue.

I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING DO? BE SO FUCKING POLITICALLY CORRECT? WTF MAN? I TRY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT AND YOU GODDAMN WACKO LIBERALS JUST HAVE TO FIND FAULT WITH FUCKING EVERYTHING WITH YOU ASSHOLES WANTING TO BE THE WORD POLICE. FUCK OFF. EVERY FUCKING MINUTE I HAVE TO FUCKING WALK ON EGGSHELLS JUST TO NOT ACCIDENTALLY PISS OF SOMEONE. WTF, CAN'T CALL PEOPLE HANDICAPPED NOW? (ONE OF MY COUSINS IN TAIWAN CALLED THE "CRIPPLE" HAPPENS TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY. BEING CALLED THE "CRIPPLE" WAS PROBABLY A FUCKING BLESSING FOR HIM BECAUSE IT PREVENTED HIM FROM JOINING GANGS / MAFIA LIKE THE REST OF HIS BROTHERS.) OPEN A DOOR FOR SOME FUCKER IN A WHEELCHAIR AND GET FUNNY LOOKS IN RETURN? YOU WHITE LIBERALS HAVE CALLED ME "ORIENTAL", DO YOU HEAR ME GIVE YOU GUYS SHIT FOR THAT? I MEAN FUCK YOU MAN. AND WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I HAVE TO ATTEND DIVERSITY TRAINING AT WORK WHEN I TEND TO HANG AROUND WITH THE INTERNATIONALS (GHANIANS, MEXICANS, NIGERIANS, INDIANS, SERBS, AND WHITE-OUTSIDER GEEKS)? DID THE TRAINING LADY MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR ME WHEN WHITE, BROWN, AND BLACK KIDS MADE SLANTY EYE GESTURES AT ME IN THE 1980S? OH WAIT, I NOW GET FUCKING CORRECTED FOR REPORTING A SUSPICIOUS "BLACK" PERSON LOITERING AROUND A WOMEN'S RESTROOM IN SAN FRANCISCO. BECAUSE THE OFFICIAL TERM IS "AFRICAN". FUCK ALL YOU WORD POLICE FUCKERS. BUGGER OFF! HOW THE FUCK WE DID SUDDENLY BECOME SUCH A GHEY SOCIETY?
