Expedited prosecution for somebody who has already been proven guilty once doesn't seem unreasonable.
It takes resources and manpower. If they're going to do that, save it for violent crimes, first.
As for the violence against him, I admitted that it's an awful thing to wish violence on somebody.
It's not the wish, it's the disproportionate justice behind that wish that's disturbing. *Stab* *Stab* "The sun is out, the flowers are in bloom, and my inbox has fewer things in it!"
Heh. Yes, it does. So much so, in fact, that it seriously changes the design of apps designed to run on both the iPad and the iPhone. Both devices have nearly the same resolution, but their UIs are very differently implemented.
You do realize that your finger essentially acts in a way similar to a mouse click, right?
Wrong. "Essentially" you cannot get anywhere near the precision of a click with a finger that you can with a mouse.
Have you ever used anything touch screen? ever?
Thank you for clarifying that you have not.
This hardware is supposed to be obsolete, but it costs more than a Neo Geo.
Not true, whether you adjust for inflation or do not.
This is a computer whether you like it or not. It is a computer that runs a cell phone's OS whether you like it or not (even if it is an upgraded version, it is what it is).
So? You use it differently.
...then why the hell was this device not $400 to begin with?
Supply and demand.
I am sorry, but you are defending an uphill battle here.
I see.... If only I had the advantage of being wrong.
The changes in the iPad 2 do not signify a good reason to drop another $500.
Heh. You should see the first post I made in this article.
the comparing this to an iPhone is 100% valid because the OS is an upgraded version of the same exact OS that the iPhone uses...
No, it's 0% valid because it's the apps, not the OS, that drive the use of the device.
...because I have a sneaky feeling that your list will only have 1 name in it, and that is MobileTatsu-NJG
Boy did you ignore a lot of news in the last year.
Also, again, your truck/sedan argument does not work.
It works pretty well for people who have a basic understanding of how the products work.
And yet, spamming is such a massively and prolifically antisocial thing to do that it's hard to imagine anybody ever recovering from it. He couldn't possibly have been unaware of the fact that, had he accidentally taken a shiv to the ribs while in jail, there would have been widespread cheering... At the very least, it seems as if there should be some sort of expedited process for prosecution should he return to spamming.
Wow. Just... wow. If you're not joking then I really hope you one day gain a sense of perspective.
It should be high rez enough to see the leftover junk from the manned landings. If this doesn't shut the moon landing conspiracists up, nothing will.
I appreciate your optimism, but these guys got the backing of a self-proclaimed photographer who doesn't understand how bounce cards work to offer his testimonial. I don't think that group is going anywhere no matter what is found.
So let's get this straight, I tell you iPad doesn't work for me because it doesn't have a flash memory slot. And you tell me... wait, I'm not sure, what exactly? You tell me something not actually related to what I said.
The average user will see it as the same thing, but with a bigger screen.
This has not played out at all. Plenty of people with iPhones and iPods also have iPads. It's not a 'bigger screen' in the sense of a bigger monitor, it's a bigger touch screen and the most basic differences are obvious even only in photo form. The difference, from a component point of view, isn't that significant. Hold one in your hands and.. oh.. yeah, an iPad is not an iPhone. Maybe if these things were driven by a KB and mouse, you'd have a point, but that's not the case, and no your comparison is not 'better' because of it.
The iPad 2 will come out for a higher price than the iPad 1, and the iPad 1 will continue to sport the $500 price tag.
When did me become a someone else word? Last I checked, in English, and Spanish, Me is only talking about you. Unless this is your second personality talking. They didn't convince you to replace your iPad 1 with the iPad 2 would indicate you have your own iPad 1.
Okay, I laughed out loud a little.
Please learn to read, it will help you considerably in the future.
Is it a huge leap to assume that Apple's marketing department feeds the rumor mill with truths, half-truths, and outright lies?
Are you asking if it's a huge leap from a logical point of view or from your typical Slashbot point of view? I'll put it another way: Is it a huge leap to assume that the seat cushion on Bill Gates's chair is made up from ground orphans? Do you know how many people here would say 'no'?
Sure, but in this case it was, and it made his entire point crumble.
Your post seems a little defensive (and unfortunately stereotypical of well a fan)...
Most people here cannot distinguish between 'satisfied customer' and 'fan'. Further, most here cannot ask questions, they just make statements. So, of course, I sound 'defensive'. I cannot really sound like anything else.
Really, I thought since you already said they didn't sell you on buying the iPad2 that that was where the AC's post broke down insinuating you were contemplating it.
True. I personally think it broke down just because we're all here because we're geeks, we love gadgets, and upgrades are always wanted. It's common, especially for people sick of a particular line of products, to confuse "do I want to upgrade?" with "do I want to spend the money they're asking for to upgrade?" Blur that line just a little, and you can make a group of people sound like brainless zombies. It only works if people agree with you, though.
Did Apple say they were adding a standard USB port? Or a flash card port? If it did I might consider it just to use with my photography. It's nice to be able remove the card and go through the photos zapping the ones I don't want while I'm out there. It's tedious to do that on the camera's LCD.
No, but you can buy a $30 doodad for the iPad that'll let you attach the memory card to your iPad and dump the pictures into it. I think it's great but I will forever curse Apple for a.) Not letting this work with my iPhone with its high-res display and it's unlimited data plan b.) for ONLY allowing the attachment of the card for photo purposes. So if that interests you at all, just remember that you are purchasing it for a specific purpose and not for the generalities you'd expect with hooking it up to a laptop.
A sedan and a pickup are not similar at all (well, slightly)...
They both get from point A to point B. You can go the same places with either of them. The key difference is they have distinct advantages in different contexts. The same is true when comparing the iPad to the iPhone.
When people call these the iPad XL, it is very close to the truth since they both run the iOS and have close to the same functionality...
... if you ignore the flatbe... er I mean the huge touch screen.
Slashdot Mirror
Should HAVE, dumbfuck, HAVE.
Dumb fuck, dumb fuck, DUMB FUCK.
...this strikes me as someone who has too much time on his hands.
... so I thought I'd go on Slashdot and post my opinion on that.

Touchscreen vs KB and mouse does not matter.
Heh. Yes, it does. So much so, in fact, that it seriously changes the design of apps designed to run on both the iPad and the iPhone. Both devices have nearly the same resolution, but their UIs are very differently implemented.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when someone claims a camera or a display is HD?
Yes. The rest of your kind died out at the turn of the century.
It should be high rez enough to see the leftover junk from the manned landings. If this doesn't shut the moon landing conspiracists up, nothing will.
I appreciate your optimism, but these guys got the backing of a self-proclaimed photographer who doesn't understand how bounce cards work to offer his testimonial. I don't think that group is going anywhere no matter what is found.
Heh. I think I've cracked the mystery of why iGroupies are so automated around you.
So let's get this straight, I tell you iPad doesn't work for me because it doesn't have a flash memory slot. And you tell me... wait, I'm not sure, what exactly? You tell me something not actually related to what I said.
So why'd you use the word 'swap' then?
You're surprised that somebody would repeat themselves after you bring a conversation full circle? Blimey you're thick.
Uh... we were just talking about that.... forget already?
Loser.
Umm.. why can't you just plug in the other card and start viewing? Elaborate?
Hard to image how Apple could have been so dumb about that.
The 32 gig Xoom is $800. The 32gig+ 3g iPad 2 is $729. Yeah, they're real dumb.
The average user will see it as the same thing, but with a bigger screen.

The iPad 2 will come out for a higher price than the iPad 1, and the iPad 1 will continue to sport the $500 price tag.
Wrong on both counts. Go look it up.
I own one.
Thank you. Now your suggestion is more credible.
Thank you!

^ Sound familiar? Re-read the first two posts.
I need some advice about a good exercise regimen; is moving goalposts effective for you?
Sure, in exchange could you show me how to be able to jump to conclusions more quickly by ignoring pertinent details?
God, you made me laugh so hard. Copycat nature of everything else? You mean the ones who did these things way before Apple did?
I stand corrected. The massive success of all these other tablets proves just how run-of-the-mill the iPad is. You win.
Huh? You said it yourself...
No, I didn't. If this were a logic problem it really wouldn't be a difficult one. Heh.
Is it a huge leap to assume that Apple's marketing department feeds the rumor mill with truths, half-truths, and outright lies?

To be fair, not all assumptions are wrong ...
Sure, but in this case it was, and it made his entire point crumble.
