Elizabeth Warren posted a video where she says that Apple is "ruining relationships" thanks to the green bubbles they use to distinguish iMessages and SMS texts.

The fact that she even made a comment like that tells me all I need to know about her and her politics. They simply ignore the fact that people adjust by installing an app like WhatsApp for group chatting, especially teens. They tend to have apps installed that parents never heard of.

Therefore, stop with the sound bites and pandering to Google. Did Google donate to your cause to get you to spit this nonsense?

Well said!!!! I couldn't agree more!

Another clueless politician spouts gibberish.

Hey Pocahontas. More relationships are ruined over politics than phones. So why don't we sue all Democrats and force them to become Republicans?

Because Democrats have a "monopoly" on politics.

The point is - because you are too utterly clueless to understand - is that there is no law against "green bubbles". You can't force a company to change a product just because you don't like it. Clearly, Apple's customers are happy with Apple's products. And that is all that matters here.

And AGAIN, you CAN'T be a "monopoly" with less than 30% of the market. That is not a "stranglehold". Apple is the underdog. Android has the "stranglehold".

And BTW, if a "relationship is ruined" over what phone you have, that's not a relationship worth having/saving. Time to grow up and move on. When you get out of high school, things like this will no longer matter.

Sounds like an inferiority complex to me !

This is the level of “I do not care” that I give to the entire bubble colour situation.



I really do not care at all. If the person prefers an Android, BlackBerry, iPhone or Windows phone, good for them. Who am I to judge their personal decisions, and why would I never talk to them again‽

If Warren wants to spend their own money on complaining publicly about a non-issue, why are we giving them our own time. All I know is that any way I look at it, there’s no impact on my life. I can name many more important societal issues than messaging bubble colours!

I think some people need some ZenAndTech in their lives
