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?

Where I'm from, that is just male bonding. The closer you are to someone, then the more shit you can give them.
Try retaliating and make it obvious that it isn't because you are mad or offended.

As someone who is thin-skinned myself, I've found that it is soooo easy to go over the line when joshing someone. I don't do it anymore because the social mores that define where that line lies are nearly invisible to me. It is like for me personally the line is very close, so it feels like any amount of joshing I give back is already over the line therefore I can't tell what everybody else will think is too far over the line. It isn't fair, but its just something I've learned to accept about myself.
