no real surprises here. linus travolds kids only use linux.

LOL_WUT4191d ago

Thats a rough way to raise a kid. Those parents should be banned from having anymore offspring.

FlameBaitGod4191d ago (Edited 4191d ago )

they can own anything in the world except an iPhone, yeah their life's are horrible /s

Gohadouken4191d ago (Edited 4191d ago )

really ? they are "getting fat" from the wealth amassed by their parents by fighting against a rival , and the way to show gratitude would be to use said bitter rivals' products , especially in public for everyone to see ?

Mansour4494191d ago

What do you have here son ? An iPhone !! you are ungrateful boy.

Sorry dad , is it OK to get the new Galaxy ?

badz1494191d ago

go get a NOKIA!...like right now!

SilentNegotiator4190d ago

A Nokia?! Oh, those poor abused children :(

bad parenting, i would hate my parents if they did that to me. a parent is not supposed to decide how you live your life but teach you how to make the right decisions. a parent who decides for you even the kind of electronics you are or not allowed to use is doing it wrong you are supposed to decide stuff like that for your self to build your personality and personal preferences. chances are his children would grow to be insecure geeks like their father

FlameBaitGod4191d ago

I think the 1 who is insecure is the one on top of me.

MikeMyers4191d ago

They are helping people around the world. That's far better mentoring than arguing with your child what type of phone they can have.

You're spot on, he is right now trolling the forums to see what people at home eating Dorito's and wearing sweatpants have to say about his insecurities.

aviator1894191d ago

seriously??
you're bashing the parents because they won't allow their kids to have a gadget? a gadget that has tons of other alternatives?

it seems as though you're the insecure one.

Gohadouken4191d ago

Not only is it not bad parenting , there is also an image involved .

Or do you imagine the kids of Real Madrid football team's owners parading around with a Barcelona jersey ?

badz1494191d ago

your parents are not the ones competing with Apple are they?

The way i see it why would anyone want a apple device over a windows device anyway? Especially with windows 8 rt n pro and windows phone 8 being out now they offer alot more than any apple device and have the same build quality.
