But Apple can force everyone to only use iPhones and then what will you do? It'll be like that SNL skit where Steve Marten gets that big tv installed and then a face is making him do jumping jacks all day long.
Instead of a desktop in the basement, I have NAT box and a Mac Mini (used, free) running Ubuntu as a server on a shelf in the laundry room.
While laptops and netbooks are as cheap or cheaper than an Apple tablet, eventually other tablets will be out and I'll set up those for wife and kids. I'll keep my desktop and one or two laptops around for use around the house an on trips, tablets should be find for most folks.
Ah, so computer sales margins aren't going down, Apple isn't worried that they won't be able to sell their similar hardware at even higher margins and Apple is not trying to coral users in to a walled garden.
Phwew!
For a moment, I thought this TFA guy might actually be on to something. As long as hardware margins will stay high, I think I'll start my own hardware start up.
Yup, I was able to sync my address book up to my razor and go through some hoops with a third party software to get pictures off of it but after that, forget it. For all the capability of that phone, Verizon totally fucked it up. For a lot of users like myself, going from a standard phone (with email, apps, web browser) that was tied down by the carrier to an iPhone, there's a bit more freedom there. Am I bummed I can't code on it? Nope. It's a phone.

Wait, you use an iPad and yet are smart enough to figure out how to post on Slashdot? I thought all Apple users were mindless hipsters who spent all their time posing at the coffee shop.
Yup. I worked for a Mac shop that had a $40 bounty (for employees) on any IIci/cx machines we acquired. They had a customer whose CNC machines all ran on NuBus cards on these old 68030 Macs. Doing public school support, was able to keep beer and skittles money in pocket 'helping out' teachers and such clean out their tech stash.

Yeah, but Steve never said that, if you don't like how the iPhone behaves, you should use a competitor's hardware.
You're right. People hate Steve.
Yeah, why should he be allowed to sell his vision to people who like it?
Damn him. Damn him to hell!
Adobe will make sure a plugin will always be available for new browser users.
Like now, where it's available on all the various mobile platforms?
Yeah, Jobs is so stupid for Apple. Good thing they don't pay him much.
Damn it! I thought I was just thick trying to get Halo on my Will. I even drew the XBox logo on it and everything.

Screw Moon and Mars, I want an asteroid. If we could park one near L4 or L5...
Ok, Phobos or Demos might be cool.
