I'm actually really glad AT&T didn't give me a Microcell when I was getting ready to drop them. I was tempted to stick with them at the time because it was convenient, and the Microcell would have taken care of one of my two biggest complaints (service at home) if not the other complaint (service in my office). The…

that's the biggest old wives tale that people still believe. Magnets and modern electronics are (mostly) fine. Floppy disks, CRT monitors, and in some very rare cases HDDs could be affected by magnets. Solid state storage and the LCD display on yor iPad should be fine.

The key is that it doesn't actually seem to be Apple's smart covers, it seems to be third party cases that were designed to use the sleep/wake feature.

But it's gets warm, and .0021% of purchasers have wifi issues, and the A5X is 5000 times as big as a dust mite, and third part smart covers aren't working, and it doesn't make me more attractive to women!!!!

What you did there... I see it.

Yeah, I'm all for digital media, but I do have a select few films that are packaged so nicely that I couldn't turn down the physical discs.

Isn't the new iPad thicker than the the iPad 2? Doesn't every manufacturer tout how thin their tablet is? Aren't there like a dozen android phones that get hotter than the iPad does when playing graphically intensive games?

But it gets hot if you play a graphically intensive game for hours while plugged in, and I want to whine about it.

anythingcommentary thing you get on an Apple TV you can play on a Mac or Windows machine, and I'd imagine that will have to extend to Windows tablets if they really are the "best of both worlds" Microsoft is billing them as. That's excluding any iOS device or iPod.

I have young children. And while I'd like to say they are well behaved, I can also tell you right now that children and disc based media do not mix. If I were a single guy with no children maybe I wouldn't have ever had to worry about how easily scratched discs are, but that isn't the case.

Well, it seems like its probably just as fair as Giz saying a 0.0021% sample size is high enough to suggest a significant problem.

Exactly. 63 out of 3,000,000 is 0.0021%.

And what cracks me up is that 63 people (if each of those replies was a unique user) is about %0.0021 percent of all the iPads sold over the weekend.

So, there was this device that released once, and it sold 3,000,000 in one weekend, and, maybe, 63 people (though probably fewer considering that some of those are individuals posting more than once) complained about a weak wifi signal, and the fact that, maybe, 0.0021% of the individual's who bought the device are…

One step away from ambiguously gay, or one step away from being gigantic rolling members? Or both?

Yeah! Why is this on the front page!!!!

Well, seeing as how the point of the article (the point the OP is arguing against) is that Apple TV is signaling the demise if BluRay (or disc based media in general), I think I have plent of reason to assume he's talking about BluRay.

Buying HD movies that are stuck on a fragile disc with DRM that is constantly shifting and may or may not work on your your previouse generation BluRay player, and can't be played back on a phone or tablet device... See, everything has its trade off, mine just happens to be Apple DRM and taking advantage of the home…

No, but I can watch them through my iTunes season pass which also saves me the trouble of buying the season on DVD/BluRay at the end of the summer.
