My dad bought an iPad for Christmas. Literally the only things he uses it for are ebooks, and scribbling (completely illegible, lol touchscreen) notes.

Despite this, when I asked what advantages his $850 iPad has over a Kindle + legal pad, he just kind of looked at me, then did the slide-animation on the home screen a few times.

Face it: iPad is the new Blackberry. Remember when everyone wanted one of those? Every businessman worth his BMW needed one. Now, blackberries are passe, and the ipad is now hip. Give it three years, and everyone will have moved on to something else.

its the future bitch
take it or leave it

I like to think that Jobs has like 8 concurrent separate product teams walled off from each other to come out with similiar implementations but given complete latitude to gently caress around and experiment, and then gives each a 10 minute review playing with it and picks one (or two) and the rest are poo poo canned.

I like to think he kills the designers that came in last place.

It's a sure fire way to constantly keep the quality level high while doubling as population control

the problem with gaming on lappies isn't anthing to do with the ability
its just a hosed form factor to do it on


like my friend just dropped 2 and a half on a 3 and a half dollar gaming laptop (second hand)
but he never takes it anywhere
its barely more capable than the desktop i built for myself for litteraly half the price, god knows what kind of beast gaming desktop you could build for 2 and a half
