Don't forget the "Just blame Steve for all the issues" that the media uses.
Having flash and java coming directly from the developers its what I'm use to and seems to be the best solution in order to get always the latest securest version.
This means: you don't use it as a phone, you don't use it as a desktop computer.
You don't call 911 with the ipad but you can use skype. You don't develop a software in iPad but you can create and show your presentation in keynote, etc, etc
You tried a netbook and then decided, give iPad a try and then decide.
Again, the problem is not the screen size in this case, it is the input device.
With the mouse, the pointer is 1 square pixel(just 1 pixel), with your finger the pointer is at least 3x3 pixels, sometimes 10x10 pixels and all your current swf won't work 100% exactly as in your desktop.
So, pleople need to understand that you can not use the same swf in the same way using 1) a smaller screen and 2) a totally different input device.
About 3.5" I made a point against "I need to go to my desktop to visit some sites"
About the iPad, I made a point regarding the input device. You can have a nice menu done in flash but wont be able to "click" on it until you zoom 400% back and forward
How is that supposedly smart people does not understand the basic of math?
A 3.5 inch display is not the same size as a 19 inch display. You can not use flash UI (or any other UI) in such a tiny display, its not Apple/Adobe's fault. You just can not replace 1 square pixel pointer (mouse) with a 9 square pixel pointer(finger) and expect everything to work the same.
Well, RIM will never confirm this deal because if he does, the Blackberry bussiness is going down.
This may confirm what we all know, there is always back doors. No matter how long the encryption key is advertized, my email password is always reaching my server in just plain text (sometimes over ssl) and there is where the fun is.
Adobe is just lazy, If they are releasing something big they would call it Flash 11, with GPU aceleration, real multi touch, 64bit all the way, same performance in the same hardware in windows/linux/mac, etc.
If Apple lose, then too many win, including Google and Microsoft, so Adobe is just trying Apple to lose in order that their friends GOOG and MSFT win.
I hope not to be moderated for reporting issues with users.
Maybe they can just put a litle "un mute" button, and let the music mute by default. Is not that big of a deal programing that button once you ported PacMac to.js;)
Having an "alarm sound" in google home page is not that wise decision, I got reports about people calling helpdesk tech support in order to report an "alarm sound", "its a virus?", "hijacked google home page, please run anti-spyware", etc, etc
Is PacMan that important to the general public? I agree is/. material, but for non-tech people I dont think it matters...
Slashdot Mirror
Facebook does not cost that much, its a new bubble. Banks looove bubbles and crisis, only they win in those situations
Agree, get well soon Steve! The tech world needs you!
What does he think about the Xbox360 and the Wii bussiness model? Does he think the same ?
Virus, Iran, ... really? In the front page? Slashdot is getting more about politics and less about tech. Really a slow news day :(
Is the site down? Let me command+click(or middle click) 10 times that link just to verify ... ;)
This is getting silly, anti-mac is over the place. Why is this anti-mac? Because is not the same as Blizzard forum.
Apple is sharing your name to your friend that you choosen to be your friend. Blizzard was sharing your Name with
all the thousand forum members.
I don't come for this to /., I will go for this to gizmodo, saaaad

No problem, if Apple is found guilty I have no problem to grant it back to you.
Meanwhile lets wait a couple of days and see if this Bloomberg rummor turn out to be fake also.
No one works for free. If you pay then you get the content without ads, don't pay and you have to watch ads.
How many example of Apple doing lock down of content do we have?
By content I mean music/videos. And by lock down I mean Apple forcing the media creator dot to distribute the same content by other means.
You are being a little paranoid, that is not going to happend
Its not the 7th, its the 1st of Setember :(

iPad is between phone and computer.

Do you use the terms "The PC", "The Windows", "The Linux", "The Twitter", "The Facebook", etc ?
Sometimes you don't need to use the article in order to refer to know subjects. Also, insulting the other person does not help in the discussion.

iPad is between phone and computer. If you call a netbook your computer, then so be it. Then, the iPad will fit between your netbook and your phone.

too bad, Google gives us joy and give us extra work, at the same time!

I know, its hard to believe for me too, but remember that the world is too much bigger than USA.
Google is all around the world and is being used by people of all ages and cultural background.
Thanks God its not made on flash, that would trigger too many "please upgrade Flash" and would just crash Adobe Download Servers...
