Any company that requires suits for their employees (aside from the public facing ones) is definitely not a place that is worth working for, as they obviously care more about "professionalism" than actually coding a good product. And they care more about "professionalism" than they do actually taking care of their employees.
Who the fuck said anything about poor personal hygiene? Are you trying to say that just because someone is wearing a suit, they must be grooming themselves impeccably, or that because someone is wearing something comfortable, they must be a slob?
Wow, what a piece of shit. Saying that people with 401Ks are to blame? Fuck you. Do you honestly think that people with 401ks themselves make up even the majority of shareholders? Fuck no. It's the people who actually manage the funds that those 401ks invest in. News Flash: Most people who invest in a fund give up their voting rights to the managers of the fund.
No. If your point had any validity whatsoever, you'd remember that there were several cheap Chinese tablets, one sold at Walgreens last year, and they were universally despised. People like cheap, but they also like working. If this performs like that tablet last year, it won't take off.
And don't bring the HP Touchpad into this. That wasn't a $99 tablet. That was a $400 tablet that went on a fire sale. Completely different.
Or it could be that the vast, vast, vast majority of tablets sold are iPads. It really is an iPad market, with a few other competitors trying to grab a slice.
Resistive screens are much more precise and you can use them with gloves and with a stylus.
Most people really don't want to have to deal with a stylus. They get lost easily.
Capacitive screens are quite precise themselves, and are good enough in that department. They are also much easier to use with just fingers than a resistive screen.
No, but you're trying to say that anyone who has a different use case than you has no justification for this device. You're saying that all of the benefits of the device are worthless because they don't apply to you.
You're still avoiding the actual question, which is that not everyone has immediate access to power at all times. Saying it's crap simply because you don't experience it doesn't advance your point at all.
So you're just going to dismiss some of the very real world examples of when you wouldn't have access to outlets just to fit into your constrained little use case.

People won't get past your poor personal hygiene

So rather than actually address the point, you attack me. I guess you're really trying to make that point of yours that I "hate you" come true.
Wow, asshole much? You fuckheads are going to judge someone based on how they dress, rather than their ideas?
Tell me the name of this conference. I know that nothing of value whatsoever can come of it now.
The worst part is, the boss is recognizing the lack of quality, but refusing to do anything about it.
As opposed to you, shilling for corporations, trying to claim that they are actually "accountable"?

They're financed at $20-25/month, not $15.
For £5/month I can get a light-use data package (enough for email and IM).
Good for you. I don't want "light use data". I paid for a phone that can be constantly connected, so I want to use that.

No, the opposite. 10 hours over a "couple days" is not enough to make it a useful tool.
No, I think that's just you trying to find something to bitch about the iPad so you can look cool on the internet.
but I do know that there are Intel based ones that get approximately 10
Care to list some of them?
It's $100 cheaper, but it's not going to have better battery life unless you drop another $150 on the keyboard dock.
Or it could be that the vast, vast, vast majority of tablets sold are iPads. It really is an iPad market, with a few other competitors trying to grab a slice.
What? And are you gonna try and give the tablet or laptop that has better battery life?

Obviously, otherwise people wouldn't be excited about devices with 10+ hours of battery life.
No, but you're trying to say that anyone who has a different use case than you has no justification for this device. You're saying that all of the benefits of the device are worthless because they don't apply to you.
I think it's a stupid as all hell comparison.
And how can you say that? Have you actually done it? Or are you taking the position that "I don't like it, therefore it can't be hard work?"

That only works if they get people to work for them.
Not everyone has one right by their door. I live in an apartment complex, where my mailbox and the outgoing one are somewhat far from my door.
