Yes, but if said Lady says "Hey what's that little robot about then?"

"Oh it is the logo for my mobile phones operating system"

You might as well get a cat and live in a bedsit.

Or you could just say he's a little robot.

I quite like those T-Shirts.
I wouldn't buy one, however, because I know they're going to be the wrong side of £20

£8 from the google store, well £7-91 to be precise.

true enough.

Just throw your drink in her face before taking her roughly from behind in the confusion?

I normally call it the cacker but fair play.

It's so geeky it goes full circle; only those that are geeks (like me!) would spot that it's the Android mascot/logo, whereas to the average bloke/lass it's just another random t-shirt. Certainly no more geeky/pretentious than the wearing a t-shirt from the latest Indier than thou band t-shirt.

Loads of people, like everyone who owns or has played with an Android phone, would recognise it...

Completely geek.

It's a phone's logo, why would you wear that? To show people you use one?...so? To show people you support Google phones?...why?

So why wear Armani or Hugo Boss etc?

In the OP, what's the last picture? A rucksack? That'd be soo lame but I like the tshirts

Its a one off rucksack, you cant buy that.

The tshirts you can.

i personally think geek chic is stuff like braces, glasses, chinos/trousers, ties, bow ties etc.

stuff like t shirts with geek culture is just geek...

geeek no doubt. I also cringe at the amount of android logos in signatures in this forum. Quite funny these people have avoided this thread

The OP has to get a life

D83 · 16 Dec 2010 at 08:34

Am I the only one that see's the irony of this thread?

Asking a bunch of guys with thousands of posts on a computer forum if something is geeky...

Sp00n · 16 Dec 2010 at 08:50

Geek, no question.

Fanboyism is in no way chic.
