    It can be an Android tablet. It can make "the iPad stink". But it can't both at the same time.

      A few days ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a virus that held my entire PC hostage. It wouldn't give it back to me unless I paid $50! I tried all of the usual software, but nothing could remove it! My gigabits were slower than ever!

      That's when I found MyCleanPC. I went to their website, ran a free scan, and that virus vanished off of my PC right this minuteness! I couldn't believe how fast my gigabits became afterwards!

      From then on, my PC ran like new. Not only did MyCleanPC totally clean up my system, but it increased my speed! Everything was overclocking and running at maximum gigabits!

      MyCleanPC is outstanding! My computer is running faster than ever! MyCleanPC came through with flying colors where no one else could! MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system and increased my speed!

      If you're having problems with your PC, then I sincerely recommend using MyCleanPC. It'll not only totally clean up your system, but your computer will be running faster than ever!

      But even if you're not having any visible problems, you could still be infected or have errors on your PC. So get MyCleanPC and run a scan right this minuteness so your system will be totally clean like mine!

      Watch their commercial!

      Only $499?! Wow!

      And how about with a case, headphones,keyboard, all the other things that come standard on a laptop for half the price? A replaceable battery? Standard SIM slot? Unlocking? Jailbreaking? Productivity apps?

      The thing is a glorified touch phone.

    Yet, when I did a search for "apple" it doesn't come up once in the article. I even read it and it's not about apple in anyway. Are you mental?

    This is a proof that apple fanbois are like fundamentalist Christians:
    fundie: Whould you like a leaflet on Bible Class?
    other: No thanks I'm a Buddhist
    fundie: Why do you hate Jesus?

    Apple Fanboi: Whould you like an iPad ?
    other: No thanks I've got a cheap tablet that I might be able to run android on
    Apple Fanboi: Why do you hate Apple?

  3. Gingerbread by mwvdlee · · Score: -1, Troll

    TFA states Gingerbread-based devices were release over half a year ago and no source is available as yet.
    Isn't Google supposed to be releasing the sourcecode due to GPL requirements?
