Never ascribe to coincidence that which you can bitch about on Slashdot like it's a conspiracy, no matter how retarded said conspiracy would have to be.
I guess as mottos go I won't be getting quoted any time soon.
In very short order we'll have 10hour batteries and 1.5 pound weight in an x86 machine just like we have with tablets. And then everyone will just go back to using full computers again.
I guess in the meantime, ARM et al are just going to sit still and wait?
The only reason people are buying tablet PCs today is either because it's apple or it's like apple so having one somehow makes you cool and that is much more impotant than being productive. Sad but true.
Naturally, since I read Slashdot regularly, I see this opinion expressed a lot. I always have to wonder, do you honestly believe that? Are you actually incapable of understanding that your opinions aren't objectively superior?
I didn't object to anything, I just made a simple observation. Apparently your anger is leading you into some sort of confusion over who you're replying to.
So far as my expectations, I'd say you pretty much lived up to them.
Relax, chief. I'm not "denying" or even "questioning" and while I'm sure it's offensive to you that I'm not giving your beliefs the deference you're certain they deserve, in a way you've demonstrated my point.
And they'd better hope Steve and friends don't suddenly disapprove of navigation or the whole investment is *bloop* down the drain because Apple still owns those iPads with their restrictive control policies.
Not for nothing but... yeah, he basically got you on that one. I mean unless you were going for an audience reaction of "wtf? give my my 15 seconds back."
Don't be fooled by the upmods, bashing Apple is an automatic +3 these days. I'll randomly bash them in a reply to something else in this story and probably hit +4 Insightful.
In your first sentence you explain you have no idea what you're talking about, then you proceed to spout off in the remainder of your post anyway. You're pretty clearly the voice of inexperience. You should learn to lurk more and talk less.
I'm not going to bother rebutting you, because it's pretty clear you're a true believer and I'd be wasting my time. Instead, I want to thank you for amusing me with your altogether interesting take on logic and reason.
LOL he's overhyped.. he built one of the most valuable properties known to history and you, Joe Random Slashdotter, say he's overrated. That is fucking awesomely arrogant. You've definitely accomplished something with that.
I've got a better crystal ball - this is a tempest in a teapot, gamers will bitch and moan and do nothing about it, and life will go on. No lawsuit. No reckoning. Nothing.

That leads to a question; Which part of taking the time to write up snotty replies that aren't in any way helpful was required?
It must be the right way, because all the old programmers who don't want to learn anything new hate it.
You could have saved all the trouble of typing out the poorly reasoned tripe and just said "get off my lawn."
Don't worry, we're already getting enough laughter out of the moronic sky fairy worship. You can have this one.
Hopefully he aims for the eye. That's the weak spot.
You may or may not be a douche, but you're certainly... loose with facts in the service of your opinions.
Are you trying to say Windows 95+ was the same as 3.1?
Ahh, you've resorted to making things up out of whole cloth in an attempt to "prove" that Apple sucks. Can I call you a hater yet?
You. Don't you ever change, you. You're priceless.

You know how I know you'll never figure out how Apple is successful? You insist on starting from an incorrect premise.
Are we supposed to find your lack of vision compelling?

Ever notice that you can just substitute names of various gods into climate-change arguments (on all sides) and the thrust remains exactly the same?

Passing around a limited subset of SGML? Boring.

What fanboys of all stripes need is a cold dose of reality, but until then, I'll read the fights and laugh, laugh, laugh.
