Can one stick it into a pocket. Portability is key! Our opinion was that Ipads were going to be a flop? Reaching into a pocket to get a phone call or helping to remember specific shopping items, and email or so is OK!

I think I will set it as my homepage and read it every morning. I will print out a copy and tape it to the fridge. I will make copies and hand them out at the local Apple store. Apple products are built for ridiculously short lifespans. The hordes of mindless Apple fanzombies will continually buy the new upgrades like good little drones every year. It's really pathetic that a company cannot create a product that is meant to LAST... You know, like the washer/dryer your Grandmother has had since 1952. I do not, and will not ever own an Apple product. When people hear this they look at me like I am some sort of freak. I refuse to become one of the mindless masses who purchases "sexy" products that are VASTLY inferior to their non-proprietary competition. Whew! That felt good... This post makes me so very happy.

All you need to tighten the proprietary noose around your neck is to buy a Saturn automobile where you can only buy replacement parts through the dealer. Thankfully by learning through others, I have never bought an Apple product or a Saturn. iCrap is a status symbol that jails you in proprietary Apple land.

I have wanted to write a post about Apple like this for a while now, ever since my wife got me an iPod touch (3g!) for our anniversary last year. What an underwhelming ho-hum piece of iCrap. I used to love Apple. But then they come out with the pathetically horrible OSX, designed like a bad MySpace acid trip and taking away features they had since OS1. About that same time, every time they came out with a new computer (G4, etc.) or other semi cool product, they would find some way to cripple or otherwise rat-f**k it. Things like no eject button on the CD tray; no audio capability, silly-ass monitor connectors that require adapters to use any normal monitor. I could go on. And on. iPad? I'm stunned that anyone would actually pay money for one. I'm sure you must have seen the Hitler/ipad youtube videos. But check this out - done a couple years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjU0K8QPhs&playnext_from=TL&videos=tjqTPiObEOw I hate Apple too. Scott Splork,
