I can't understand the people fixated over the colour of message
bubbles on their phones... I've not met one person in real life,
be they Android or iOS user - who's ever mentioned the colour of
message bubbles. (Really!) Yet on Usenet there's people frothing
at the mouth in anger or pee peeing themselves with excitement
over green and blue message bubbles. WTF?!

Get a life people!
