Lens of Truth: Apples vs Oranges Comparison

Lens of Truth writes, "For this Head2Head, the Lens of Truth decided to strip down all consoles and hardware to get down to the purest of all comparisons - an apple to an orange! It has long been argued that before the home console debuted there were pointless comparisons. The longest one still standing is of course going back to the Garden of Eden's apple versus orange. This Head2Head led to the banishment from the Garden, of course, however the argument is continued and it is commonly accepted that in every comparison and Head2Head made today, at one point someone is bound to argue apples versus oranges."

Classic! I don't know about you, but that Apple doesn't look like that on my TV. :S

evildeli5567d ago

I just went outside to pick an orange for myself to compare. My orange is brown and rotting.

SWORDF1SH5567d ago

im suprised they didnt choose the 360 even. they always choose 360.

jk. i like lens of truth. my favourite comparison site.

darthv725567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

A better comparison would be oranges to oranges or apples to apples like red delicious vs golden. Or any other type of apple like fuji, rome or granny smith.

What i'd like to know is why is the banana getting a free pass?

DarkSpawnClone5567d ago

OMG this site is BIAS!!!Every one know Oranges are Better then apples.WTF

Noctis Aftermath5567d ago

Fact: Apple>Orange, if you think otherwise you are an orange fanboy.

ChineseDemocracy5567d ago

What are you blind?

Apples have the power of the CORE !

darthv725567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

oranges come in seedless and are easier to juice. More devs like the easier to juice platform. If they chose to make apple the primary then porting would still be as easy. You can't say the same the other way around.

Each one has their own exclusives like apple pie and apple fritter donuts as well as orange sherbet and orange glow (can't clean anything using an apple in it) but it isnt a crime to like both. the multiplat juice's and fruit trays are good too.

edit: at holy "orange" cow...apples turn brown quicker 54% of the time. Not to mention you have a greater chance of getting a worm that will ruin your enjoyment.

JOLLY15567d ago

Oranges sell more in the U.S. Also Apple don't have a protective skin from pesticides. Oranges FTW!

*edit* also oranges are more user friendly, you don't have to cut "slices"

HolyOrangeCows5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

Yeaaaaaah, this probably belongs on BadJoyStick. So does all of the other April Fool's Day Articles.

Pretty funny, though.

HolyOrangeCows5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

I'll take the apple. They make you pay more to eat the other half of the orange. Isn't that stupid?

Plus, the oranges keeping rotting on over 30% of the people buying them.

Kratos Spartan5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

I'm an apple fanboy...oh...wait a minute o_O

So is this fruit, or A new company to compete with...

Absolut_Turkey5567d ago

I have over 25 years of fruit eating experience and I must say that the orange is the technologically superior fruit. Look at the pictures. The orange clearly has more detail, and it comes from Florida...FLORIDA! Plus, I'm sure that the pictures of the apples are all Bullshots. Oranges FTW! And if you disagree you're an apple-eating communist booger-head!

thetruthinator5567d ago

Dude its totaly april first! its april fools day! i cant beleive you all fell for this one!

Cmon! comparing "apples to oranges" It all a Joke!.... dam 360 fanboys

ReservoirDog3165567d ago

Haha, everyone here gets bubbles.

Oranges by the way. No contest.

MmaFanQc5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

by orange fanboys.

mikeslemonade5567d ago

Mangos, Cherry, and Pineapples are tastier. They are also 1080p so they're better.

Ocelot5255567d ago

the colors of the apples are washed out, LoT clearly didn't calibrate the camera coorectly

i'm also seeing many jaggies on the orange

iamtehpwn5567d ago

Apples have WAY Better AA and Resolution than Oranges.
Idk about you guys, but Apples for the win. Oranges are only 576p.
Apples are the only TRUE HD fruit.

SWORDF1SH5567d ago

lol @ you guys. some very funny comments.

Makes you think why people argue aggressively over the console wars because everybody here basically used all the console wars argument clichés and made it funny.

First time ive felt togetherness on N4G. """WIPES TEAR"""

mikeslemonade5567d ago

I rather eat a grapefruit than an orange. Apples are just plain overrated because they're physically too hard for your mouth.

boodybandit5567d ago

try a banana!
They may not be for the hardcore but are well worth the investment.

MNicholas5566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

There's nothing worse than "technical" comparisons by biased fanboys who obviously take bribes.

commodore645566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

This article is so 2007!

Every reputable gamer knows that apples have long since eliminated the inferior multifruits that used to plague their system.

This is 2010.
Just witness Apple fantasy Xiii. It has been shown to be superior on the apples platform and the orange can only run at 576 orange seeds, while the apple pips number 720!

Apple FTW!

Some other fruitboys argue that this is only one out of about 30 multifruits that seems to be better on the apples in the last six month, but while we're talking about fruits I am inclined to be cherrypicking to suit my purpose!

Apples, cherries, oranges... nothing but an orchard of crazy fruits here.

/s

Nothing like a hardcore apple fruitboy, it seems, huh?

And remember kids, an apple a day keeps the reality away.

Absolut_Turkey5566d ago (Edited 5566d ago )

I think that those of us that constantly trade barbs in this little "Console War" of ours do so because when someone says anything that could be misconstrued as an attack on our console of choice, we ALL have an irrational tendency to take it personal. The same thing happens when people argue over sports, politics, or religion (which is why most bars don't let you talk about this stuff while alcohol is being served). Most people think "An attack on my beliefs is an attack on me", and when we feel attacked we lash back. Often times this behavior ends any hope of any civil discourse.
On a lighter note: I think this little "April Fools Joke" gave us all a chance to relax, let our guards down, and allowed all of us to have a little bit of fun together. GAMERS RULE!

haha! nice one. But seriously though, anyone saying that apple and oranges can't be compared are just being stupid, they're both fruits that 's enough reason to compare them. Just like certain games for example fps and tps they're both shooter is more than enough reason to compare them. Isn't a comparison used to determine which is suits you the best? something that wouldn't be comparable would be apple and potato.

p-m theres screen tearing on that apple:/

Redempteur5567d ago

"With no skin to peel through the apple is optimized for fast eating."

loool

evildeli5567d ago

These comparisons are pointless. Enough already!

lh_swe5567d ago

Where is your sense of humour?

evildeli5567d ago

I take my fruit very serious, except for banana peels. Slipping on one is just classic.

saraphina0175567d ago

Clearly, the Apple is a superior fruit. It keeps the doctor away. I need my fruit to act as a defense mechanism.

evildeli5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

I bet I can keep the doctor away if I throw an orange at them.

jaidek5567d ago

Very true, but why do you take vitamin C to prevent colds? hmm...

alphakennybody5567d ago

...the orange is the clear winner here, not only its a natural cure for small flu but it keeps clowns away. And the texture on that apple is horrendous ... what is this, 1996? But I have to admit the art direction of the apple is quite good.

mastiffchild5567d ago

Bah, my Dogue taught me the cl;ear winner here. Give him an apple and he MIGHT eat a bit after a while but an orange he'll use as a ball, then a drink and THEN he'll eat it. Using it as a ball just makes it juicier whereas turns the apple into an ugly, leaking mush that not even a mastiff will touch. Oranges it is-and they make a much better ball to begin with.

Nineball21125567d ago

Obviously, the OP is just an Apple Fanboy!

OpenGL5567d ago

My lack of health insurance keeps the doctor away just fine. ;)

Syronicus5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

Apples have a good claim to promote health. They contain Vitamin C, which aid the immune system and phenols, which reduce cholesterol. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning one's teeth and killing off bacteria. It has also been suggested by Cornell University researchers that the quercetin found in apples protects brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease.

Apples may be good for us but it wasn't their precise medicinal properties that were being exalted when the "apple a day keeps the doctor away" phrase was coined. In Old English the word apple was used to describe any round fruit that grew on a tree. Adam and Eve's forbidden fruit, which they ate in the Garden of Eden, is often described as an apple but, in the 1611 King James Version of the Bible, it is just called 'a fruit'.

ReservoirDog3165567d ago

Haha, bubbles to Syronicus for not only knowing the origin of that phase but also for the Inglourious Basterds avatar.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
