Ahh sorry, sarcasm doesn't always translate into text :)

It would be funny if that were true and this wasn't just an elaborate April Fool's joke.

People pay $30-40 for a boxing match because they generally can't get to the venue to watch in person, and because you can't buy a DVD of the boxing event until the event is long over. Pay Per View sports events are generally live and if you are a huge enthusiast of the sport the $40 price tag isn't really more than…

WTF? Why would I want to pay $30 to rent a movie I could buy for $15? The main reason people rent movies is because they don't find those movies a good enough value to make a purchase. Making people wait 28 days was stupid enough (people will wait). This is just ludicrous.

I paid $80 for my Leatherman Wave. It has more tools than this little gadget does, and I am guessing (just from looking at this photo) that my Leatherman would be far more comfortable to actually use in an emergency.

"The only question is whether Apple will be a spoilsport and stop kids from getting a miniature sense of what it's like to queue up for a shiny new iProduct. All because of copyright protection blah blah blahdy blah."

"Sure, it doesn't have some of the advanced print and web publishing oriented features of the desktop behemoth.

In a game that contains at least 3 fictional races, dragons, magic and other unrealistic features and scenarios is both amuses and angers me that someone is complaining that the most openly homosexual character is not an accurate enough depiction of homosexuals in general.

I don't hand my card over to anyone to pay for stuff anyway, all retail locations where I use my credit card have point of sale terminals where I slide my card myself and this has been the case for at least the last 5 years. All major retailers (the kind of places most likely to adopt NFC anyway) have these…

iOS isn't a bastardized version of MacOSX.

I would easily buy a Windows 7 tablet like this one:

Cool.

Exactly.

If you really look at Windows and MacOS throughout the years, they have both copied dozens of features from each other for the last 10 years...

You could look at Microsoft's history that way and be fairly accurate. Or else you could say that Gates bought or stole ideas and then handed them to people who knew how to implement them successfully instead of letting them languish in the hands of people who had neither the ambition nor capital to develop them…

You people keep repeating the same things over and over again. Again without any kind of proof.

"If it wasn't for that damn Bill Gates I would be worth at least $15billion instead of this paltry $13billion... Damn Gates, damn him to hell!"

That article explains what you and others have already said yet it doesn't provide links to the studies it references where you could get the actual data that was collected, or for that matter explanations of the experiments they set up to acquire any data. That article is next to useless.

If you are expecting a Wacom Cintiq killer in the $500 range you are going to be dissapointed.

Define drastic.
