Emacs vs. vi; PC vs. Mac; Windows vs. Linux; Sony vs. Nintendo. Holy wars of technological preference have been nothing new since the adolescence of computing technology, and are often the subject of many a debate here.

However, a recent argument between two roommates about the superiority of Apple vs. Android technologies has taken a bloody turn worthy of a bromance movie sequence:

As they tussled in a parking lot, the men allegedly struck and jabbed each other with broken beer bottles. Mendez and Ecevo suffered minor wounds during the fight and were transported to a local hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises.

Which raises the question - How close have you all come to violence during a technological argument?

    Can you guys stop joking around? There's the possibility that somebody got stabbed in the cock during this altercation. If that is in fact the case, I don't think it's something we should be laughing at. That kind of injury sounds like it could be very serious.

      Of course, this is very serious and demands our utmost respect. Unless the guy that got stabbed was wearing an apple watch. Then fuck 'em.

        Are you saying that somebody got stabbed in the cock with a watch?

          The dick was wearing the watch. I'm not sure about his cock though.
