If theres a bustle in your hedgerow, dont be alarmed now. It's just the spring clean for the may queen. Yes there are two roads you can go down, but int the long run. Theres still time to change the row you're on.
I like firefox, or rather I like Minefield. might be psychological, but it seems faster than chrome/safari to me. Im not running any plugins. Im not going to use a closed source browser so opera is out.
I was really hoping that Anakin would go to the darkside because Jar Jar made him snap.
Something like JarJar: Ooosaa Missa Skywalka... Missa Padme ee... *gah gah gah choke* Anakin: I find your lack of consonants disturbing JarJar: *gah gah cough choke*
Special Effects sound of the crushing of JarJar's larynx.
actually, they DO care about the software. OSX is the best operating system I've ever used (it's not w/o flaws however). "Interface Builder" is the best... umm... interface builder period. Once you get over the verbosity of Obj-C, you really respect the huge library (cocoa) behind it. Apple does care about the software devs, Apple wants the best software on their machines.
but yeah, i get your point... the software sells the hardware.
I challenge anyone to name one feature in the iPad (or iPhone, for that matter) which is truly 'innovative' and hasn't been done (often ad-nausea) many times before and which isn't just an OEM bundle with a pretty skin. Just one! I've yet to see one.
Price. Its a marketing innovation moreso than a technical one. They used technology to impair functionality so that cheaper parts would not negatively impact user experience, thus they could sell the tablet at $500 rather than $2600. This impairing of functionality in order to utilize cheap parts is the reason other tablets didn't sell 3million units in 4 months.
i found that stupid wheel exceptionally painful to use when I had an iPod. the iPod wheel DEMANDED that I use my eyes to select the song rather than memorizing a click pattern.
why is that important? Because i nearly exclusively used my iPod in the car and it meant I could only select a new song at a traffic light or when I was pulled over (or pulled over by the cops for selecting a song when I wasn't pulled over... j/k)
Not only did this stupid wheel give me a serious problem on the road... but even when I used the iPod when I wasn't driving i would NEVER select the song/album/artist i wanted... I would always select ONE BELOW what I wanted as the wheel would take me too damned far (or too far in reverse when I corrected).
I really cannot understand why people like that "innovation." And by "innovation" I mean PoS.

There should be no taboo on thinking thoughts.
That idea is taboo.

The 9" impresses more than the 7"; which is, in turn, more impressive than the 3.5".
many eyes make all smiles shallow.

Its innovative because no one seems to have done it before.
I haven't seen any good Android tablets for sale. Where can I buy one?
Please dont post any "upcoming" tablets, only ones I can really put down the cash on.
Its FM signals... or TV signals. Or that evil light radiation from the daytime star!
Google Scholar rocks.
Who else impacts the market like Apple
Thats an entirely different question than "who innovates like ..."
Who impacts the market? Wal-Mart, Toyota, McDonalds, Goldman Sacs, Chinese Government, US Government.
Who impacts the technology market? Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, SAP

amen... I wish I had mod points for you!
The ground breaking nature of the iPad is it's price and it's weight.
It's much lighter and cheaper than previous tablets.
