That title of the is all wrong. How do you deduce "consumers" from one conversation at Starbucks. That is wishful Android fanboyism at its finest.

What is fanboyism? Really, I'm serious. I don't think such a thing exists. I think it's all people who don't get why other people value product X explaining it away with the fanboyism argument. I don't mean to detract or disagree because that was my first reaction but when I got to thinking about it I realized that I could easily be labelled a fanboy. I don't want that argument used against me so I won't use it against someone else anymore. There's some kind of weird jealousy or something going on there but its also much more. I haven't quite nailed it yet but I think saying someone or some view is a "fanboy" is a lazy argument now.

But I secretly agree. But please ignore that last sentence.

Anecdotes are not data, etc, etc, but:

I'm writing this post after the FOURTH group of Starbucks patrons...

That's starting to suggest a trend.

The title was made up by the submitter, not the author (and has since been fixed by the mods)
