Lee Hutchinson writes at Ars Technica that platform loyalty is a powerful thing, as two Tulsa, Oklahoma roomates have been hospitalized after an alcohol-fueled argument began over whether Android smartphones are better than Apple iPhones. Tulsa police say a woman found a man covered in blood, stumbling around the parking lot of the Evergreen Apartments around 1 a.m. When police arrived at the apartment complex, they learned that the roommates had been drinking and arguing over their mobile phones. Police say the two men broke beer bottles and stabbed each other with them and one of the men smashed a bottle over the back of the other man's head. "In over 35 years as a cop, this is one of the oddest reasons I've seen for assault," says Maj. Rod Hummel. According to Tulsa Channel 8, police had no comment when asked which phone was in fact better.
