662: iPhone or Droid
explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
| iPhone or Droid |
 Title text: It may be a fundamentally empty experience, but holy crap the Droid's 265 ppi screen is amazing. |
[edit] Explanation
This comic references the "phone wars" between the iPhone and phones that run the Android system. The third panel references the fact that, officially speaking, the iPhone is a closed system which does not guarantee entry into the official store, yet anyone can acquire an .apk file that will install an app into an Android phone.
Cueball has a point in the second panel. After consuming a lot, would you not want to actually give back to the community that gave you all the ever-fancier toys? Would you not get a pleasure from actually constructing and contributing something yourself? Would you want to feel useful about yourself?

[edit] Transcript
- [Megan sitting at her computer is talking to Cueball standing behind her.]
- Megan: Well, it depends what you want. The iPhone wins on speed and polish, but the Droid has that gorgeous screen and physical keyboard.
- Cueball: What if I want something more than the pale facsimile of fulfillment brought by a parade of ever-fancier toys? To spend my life restlessly producing instead of sedately consuming?
- Cueball: Is there an app for THAT?
- Megan: Yeah, on both.
- Megan: Wait, no, looks like it was rejected from the iPhone store.
- Cueball: Droid it is, then.
