What was quite a shock was the difference between males and females when it comes to taking their lives. Males where 3 times more likely to take their lives and females says a lot about the male population. 

This reveals that females at MIT commit suicide at a rate of 6.3 per 100,000 female student years. This compares to a rate of male student suicides at MIT of 16.6 per 100,000 male student years.It has been hypothesized that the overall suicide rate has decreased precisely because women are less likely to commit suicide and their population has grown on campus. Does not bold well for Males.

The apps is called I Like Free, for all you android fangirls.

Keep dreaming that reality so you can make me LOL. The iPad is such a toy that airlines are now going to use them for their pilots so they don’t have to carry the manuals. No more big thick books just an ipad 2 and easy to find what they need to do when something goes wrong.  

Android market is full of people who want free Apps and for the foreseeable future it will stay like that.

People who tend to by Apple products overall have more disposable money since there is plenty of Apps been bought without as much as a big complaint about the price. 

Sure who does not like Free oh wait I hate free which is never free. I rather pay 2 bucks and never see one commercial than pay nothing and have things popping out all the time.

Google announced at I/O that 100 million Android devices had now been sold.  In contrast, Apple has sold 187 million iOS devices worldwide, made up of over 100 million iPhones, approximately 70 million iPod touches and around 20 million iPads and as I demonstrated earlier, the vast majority were sold in the last 2 years.  The market is bigger than just the USA silly.

Oh and all the iPod touch numbers I have quoted do not include the iPod Nano which of course does not run iOS apps.

*Unit Sales Q4 2010*  (source: Canalys)
- 32.7 million Android smartphones and tablets (tablets like the Galaxy tab and Dell streak were counted in these numbers because they all have cell phone hardware).
- 33 million iOS devices (16 million iPhones, 10 million iPod touches, 7 million iPads) 
Note that Android numbers are inflated by inclusion of the Tapas and OMS forks of Android (which aren’t entirely compatible with Android or running Google apps or services) running on millions of Chinese smartphones

Rather than accuse me of making up numbers please show some proof that any of these figures are false.  You embarrass yourself otherwise.

Oh and you don’t seem to be aware that with 920,000 workers, Foxconn’s suicide rate of 1.8 per 100,000 is far lower than that of US college students (12.0) or the general population in the USA (11.2) or the rest of China (13.9) or France (17.0) or Japan (24.4) or Russia (27.1) or males in the USA (17.2).

Heck the suicide rate amongst MIT undergraduates of 18.1 is ten times that of Foxconn –  maybe they need to take the Soylent Green out of the College’s cafeteria menu.  *rolls eyes*

Now with Android SMARTPHONE activations alone running 400,000 a day x30 that would = 12,000,000 (12 Million) a month and for this quarter we should see over 37 million total activations. If you actually believe Apple sold 33million iPhones, then you have no doubt lost your mind and I feel sorry for you. Here’s the link below that says they sold 16.2 Million iPhones in the 4th quarter. Giving Android Phones an over 2 to 1 advantage. So how many activations of iPhones a day is that for Apple? Less than half the activations of Android’s now 400,000 a day (4th quarter Android was activating 375,000 a day). This means Apple was only activating 178,000 iPhones Worldwide a day during 4th quarter 2010!!!  ……which is obviously far less than half of what Android was activating!

Note: We’re not talking you grouping iPod Nano Touch (which isn’t iOS), iPod Touches, iPhones and iPads. It should be an Apples to Apples comparison Smartphone OS sales to Smartphone OS sales. Frankly I don’t know where you got iPhone iOS numbers of 33 million, but I’ve just proved your’re wrong!

btw… your dollars invested in Apple collected another life lost and now makes them out to look evermore blood thirsty. A young Chinese Worker at that iPad 2 production facility that blew up? Jumped from the 3rd floor to kill himself. Apple’s business is beginning to look more and more like “Soylent Green” (blood money) taking place in real life. Your money and Apple’s products? …..are taking on more and more blood stains by the day. That’s Blood spilled at the expense of real people’s lives for your bloody iPads and iPhones!!!

Here’s a few actual facts to bring you back to reality:

The iOS installed base is actually significantly larger than Android worldwide and in the USA.  iOS quarterly unit sales are close to Android unit sales with Android growth now starting to plateau.

ComScore reported in April that active iOS devices outnumber Android devices by 59% in the USA and by 116% in Europe, and with total iOS devices sales tracking quite closely to Android devices for the last couple of quarters (32 million Android vs 33 million iOS in Q4 2010 according to Canalys) the gap is not growing smaller very fast.  

In fact in Q1 2011, for the first time since Android began it’s break-neck growth, NPD reports that Android’s share of quarterly sales in the US smartphone market shrank quarter-to-quarter (by 6% in fact) to 50%.  

In contrast Apple’s iPhone grew 47% to capture 28% of all smartphone sales in the USA.  IDC reports that Apple had the highest growth of any mobile phone vendor worldwide in Q1 2011 year over year of 115% with second place ZTE growing 45%, Samsung growing 9% and HTC and Moto not even on the chart.

Google announced at I/O that 100 million Android devices have been shipped since October 2008.  However, 187 million iOS devices have been sold since mid-2007.  

With only 17 million iPhones shipped in its first two years on the market, with the iPad being only just over a year old and with carrier contracts locking phone users in for 2 years, the vast majority of those 187 million iOS devices are still active.

Truth? CrAppleholics claim App Store has 500,000 apps, when an actual store count of available Apps is around 380,000 as of mid May. While Android Market has seen as much as a three to one App ratio gain and averaging 2 to 1 ratio the last 6months. Many are the same Apps in both stores but for some reason CrAppleholics deny the Android one exists at all or claim it somehow inferior to iOS’s exact same App.

On top of this, many of the same paid iOS Apps are free and downloaded by more Android users, simply because there are now far more ACTIVATED Android device. Simple logic would dictate that CrAppleholic Bears are living behind “I Bleed 6 Colors” screens w/ their pants down denying REALITY DISTORTION FIELD (RDF) B.S. even exists. Sadly this won’t change even after Android tablet devices thoroughly thump CrApple’s Rear End.

Afterall they can’t admit that iPWN’d 4 is now just a niche market compared to Android and it’s market growth while hitting actual App count of 700,000 by year’s end. But….. then True CrAppleholic Believers will come up with further bogus claims, exaggerations and finally saying App counts don’t matter now that they’ve been beat. Now it’ll be about Quality of the same App being somehow better on CrApptacular iOS!!!
