Good to hear my distrust of credit card companies hasn't been in vain. I've made all even remotely recurring sounding payments via paypal just for the ease of cancelling. I really don't want to have to contact someone to canc

There also seems to an element of elitism among Apple fanboys, thinking their design is the only one that matters. "Android users obviously picked their device for other reasons than design, so it doesn't have to look as good.&quo
