I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Most high school students in my area don’t even know smartphones other than iPhones exist. I’d say about 70% of my high school owns an iPhone based on my observations. Monkey see, monkey do. When I ask them why they got iPhones rather than Android or Windows Phones, they give me a blank stare. Heck, they even believe iPhones dominate in terms of market share.

    1. Most kids are dumb. I know because I used to be one :D

      1. Dumb kid makes a dumb adult.

        Although you’re right, most adults are dumb. :)

  2. I’m part of the 60%! Honestly, at my school, I’d say it’s 40% Android, 40% iPhone, and 10% other (non-smart phone).

    1. LOL. At what grade they teach percentages these days?

  3. LightSquared thinking about filing for bankruptcy is no surprise.

  4. Wasn’t there just another story saying Android users were the least cheap? Lol. I block out all ads on free app, however if there’s a paid alternative without ads I will buy it. I don’t know how that’s cheap..lol
