Unfortunately, without paying Apple $99 a year, you won't be able to install your own applications on your iPad. This is the issue. That Apple rigidly enforce code signing, such that without going through the App store (or using up a limited number of Ad Hoc distribution slots), you cannot make available your application.
It sounds stupid when talk about it as if you are buying the iPods and the iPad only for use as a board game (and the cheapest iPad will be $499 by the way). But if each player already has an iPod touch or iPhone (not unlikely), and one of the them has an iPad then it would make for a good platform. You're not even considering the advantages, like the 'board' in Scrabble could check spellings and automatically keep track of scores.
Not true. Out of range, A-GPS acquires a fix just as fast as regular GPS, with the same battery expenditure (although a phone or tablet likely wouldn't achieve a fix as fast as a dedicated device, since it will probably have a worse receiver in it). In range though, it can get a fix faster than a regular GPS device.
No, assisted GPS means it has a full GPS chip, but in addition it uses cell towers for triangulation. This makes it better than unassisted GPS, because it has the possibility of being more accurate. And there'd be little point in having GPS on the WiFi model, because you'd need a third party app in make good use of it.
You think a netbook is more durable? Apple's always had a good reputation for solid hardware. Their unibody laptops are built like tanks. You can hold them by one corner with no flex to it. Just because the iPad looks nice doesn't mean it's not also extremely sturdy.
It's called supply and demand. The price of components is irrelevant. Apple believe the market will bear their pricing structure, and they're probably right. The low end iPad is astonishingly cheap for the technology in it, so I suspect the margins on it are pretty poor. Apple's strategy is to lure people in with the low margin price, then convince people they need more storage and 3G to get up to a regular margin.
HDTV antenna? No way. Apple have never provided an official TV tuning solution, I don't see them starting now. They are pushing the iTunes store has a content source hard.
Yes. Because there is no better definition. Art is not all about the physical object created, it is largely about the emotion that the artist is trying to convey.
I believe it's art, given that the creator described it as art. That doesn't necessarily mean I think it's good art, but I actually quite like this piece.
MacBook pros do not have IPS displays. In fact, no notebooks do. I can't find a great source for this, but the distortion from looking at a MacBook pro display from above and below, while not too bad, is obvious.
RTFA. Firstly, it wasn't just "Chuck Norris", the interviewee didn't reveal the actual password, but suggested it included numbers and symbols. And secondly, it only worked within Facebook's internal network.
That's way too nitpicky. I just took a course partially about evolution, and I would guess all of my six lecturers referred to evolution 'designing' something at least once. It's just shorthand for an adaptation by natural selection. But you knew that, you're just a pedant.

If it takes dedicated use of all four limbs to drive a manual, you're doing it wrong. After not very long, shifting becomes second nature.

All those things are harder to do than change an iPod battery.
If you read the forums after the iPod came out, you'd find Apple fans didn't like that either.

No, it has a better resolution, but a worse pixel density. It's still got a pretty good density for its size though.

I doubt there's anything extraneous on the motherboard. Apple designs those things to within an inch of their life. And it already has GPS anyway.

No he didn't. He is not-so-subtley taking the piss in his Twitter feed.

Obviously they are talking about the desktop.
How's this for some examples:
If you've only used iLife (as you seem to have), then you're missing out on the wide variety of extremely high quality applications of Mac OS X.
Please define art.
Also, thanks for the redundant mod, I suppose I should have predicted someone else would reply the same thing as me, 1 minute before I hit post.

Bill Gates was not knighted, he was given an honorary knighthood (so he is not entitled to use Sir in front of his name).
That's rubbish. Google's algorithm puts trust in domains that other people link to.
