There Will Never be An iPhone Killer So Stop Trying, Marketers

Oh please, LG (and every other non-Apple phone maker). No matter how hard you try, how cute you attempt to be, how heavily you promote the Verizon app store (or whatever it’s called) or how cool you try to make your uncool phones, you will never be the iPhone.

Now don’t get all pissy with us claiming we’re an iPhone snob. We don’t even own one (yet) and we know it’s not perfect. But, please. Please just admit you will never have the iPhone’s cool factor and for God’s sake stop trying to convince us with silly ads that you are anything but a boring touchscreen iPhone knock off.

Especially with silly Sesame Street-style silliness.

People who build wealth without anyone noticing usually aren’t doing anything dramatic, they’ve just replaced three ordinary decisions with automatic ones: retirement contributions that come out before a paycheck is seen, a savings rate that rises quietly with every raise, and a lifestyle that stays flat while income doesn’t
