What Fanboy Arguments About Google Glass And Apple’s iWatch Will Be Like
Even though we’re going to be whoa’d and inspired by the future that Google Glass and the Apple iWatch will bring, let’s not kid ourselves. The most realistic future is going to be the silly arguments we all get into about Google Glass and the Apple iWatch… which will only get more ridiculous after Apple releases its own glasses and Google makes a watch. It’s the next level of Android vs iPhone. The future is going to suck. At least we have Joy of Tech’s amusing comic to laugh at before it happens. [Joy of Tech]

Psychologists Say Fanboys Are Protecting Self Image
A study from the University of Illinois to be published in the next Journal of Consumer Psychology, suggests that those with “high self-brand connections (SBC) respond to negative brand information as they do personal failure – they experience a threat to their positive self-view.” Pretty deep, right? Or kinda obvious; I’ve always put it down to self-validation. That is, not wanting to feel like a dick because you bought a crap product.
Fanboys Stick A Windows Logo On An Apple Store
You have to hand it to them for going ahead with prank, but is Windows fanboyism this serious? Especially since they screwed up where the blue and green should be. Stupid.
