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?

Not proud, but I once punched a hole in a wall in a computer room over an argument about LDAP.
I went to the building facilities guy and fessed up. He asked me how it happened, I told him about the argument. He wasn't a big fan of the guy I was arguing with, so he just laughed, told me I was lucky I didn't hit a stud, and sent me on my way.
That was in my mid 20's; I've since learned to control my... uhh... "passion". For the most part. :)

At least you didn't punch the other guy in the cock. That would not have been a good thing to do.
