I have other criteria. At a store with friendly and helpful checkout staff, I will go to the human every time. At Canadian Tire, where their staff should generally not be allowed to continue to waste valuable oxygen, I head for the automated checkout with a smile.
After looking at the iPad for 5 minutes I decided it was exactly the wrong size. Too big to watch movies on the train too work. Too small to do any serious work on. If it were 7" I would have bought it on the spot.
In fact I bought a 7" android tablet. Unfortunately it is a POS running Android 1.6 which I feel is just not ready for prime time.
Someone will be getting my tablet budget next year, the only thing as yet undecided is who. I am still hoping for a 7" tablet with android 3.0 and a built in GPS, for around $300
You are not the average consumer. The average consumer looks at price first. Sometimes only price.
The average consumer would stand all the way on a 4 hour flight if it saved them $100.
The average consumer would fly on a plane serviced and piloted by trained monkeys if it were $200 cheaper.
I read this whole thread, and not one mention of Steve Austin.
"Steve Austin, astronaut; a man barely alive". Richard Anderson (in character as Oscar Goldman) then intones off-camera, "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man; better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
You know, I test drove a brand new Yugo, many years ago, when they came out in Canada.
I started it up, and the salesman was fiddeling around putting on the dealer license plate, I checked to make sure it was in neutral, and promptly stalled it when I took my foot off the clutch pedal, to help with the plate.
I drove it for about 20 minutes and never did find 3rd gear.
Strangely enough I did not buy the car.
I will personally kill with an axe one spotted owl for every 10 iPad sold to California's School districts.
That way the balance of nature will be maintained. I feel it is important for me to do my part.
There is a simple way to turn it into an enormous amount of money.
Just give it all to me. That way they are giving an enormous amount of money to one person.:)

Now, now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!
Not in Canada I am not.
I love this. The slightly more expensive blank media grants me the right to copy. Works for me.
If I take my next vacation near Chernobyl, will I come home with superpowers?

To late... After 2012 being the year of the Apocalypse, 2013 will of course be the year of Linux on the desktop.
There is no such thing as "enough high explosives".
Just like beggars canyon back home. I used to bulls eye nutria rats in my T16 all the time.

You were not paying attention. There are two more steps in the plan.
1. Nuke 'em till they glow.
2. Shoot 'em in the dark.
They have everything for you men to enjoy, ...

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

Nope. In the case of buying a dead guy's shoes, you at least get something of value for your purchase.
I have never in my life been ashamed to be Canadian. Until today. Thanks Stephen, you stupid ass!
God how I loved that show when I was a kid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man

That is funny, my sister had the same nickname. I wonder why. :)
Windows sux... Just install Linux. :)
No offense intended, but it you can write the book, then get up off your lazy ass, and write the freaking book already!
300 Baud... Try 110!
Also, get off my lawn!
I thought my Visa card was over its limit.
Thanks the porn gods for Mastercard.
I wouldn't.
I am lactose intolerant, so the ice cream is useless to me.
Oh god please let it be so!

I am interested to see if/when people hack this little box, and what they manage to make it do.
