Yes, this tired cliche of a joke is certainly brilliant, isn't it

I see.. so a system erase & restore is completely unrecoverable, not even a single solitary file then?

How would I know if the files were zeroed out or not? Does a system erase & restore zero out absolutely every single file? Or is there some chance? Around how much would it cost too?

Well I've already used Metro on a tablet and this won't be much different strictly in that sense, so the core UI/UX of Metro isn't anything to contrast here. The only thing I'll have yet to try is to flip out the built-in kickstand other than the keyboard cover, which is kinda cool but still not enough to make this a…

Which you can do on a real laptop anyway. The core selling point of a tablet, in my opinion, is what's optimized for that type of experience.

Not necessarily true. Why not give the new UI features at least?

It's sad, justifying a low adoption rate for another platform should not be a reason a different one can't do better.

Just lately? This is how it is here. Lots of sensationalism and inflammatory writing. Why? Pageviews.

All this guy does is troll articles complaining and hating on Apple.

Siri, a beta product, shouldn't be expected to be on every iPhone at the moment. Especially since there are legitimate reasons (improved mic on 4S, server load, etc.) but haters like to dismiss them as haters often do.

Most new features of iOS 6 aren't coming to iPhone 4? That is just not true. There are a lot more features than Siri.

You sound all over the place. You're criticizing people being mad about it and then say you are mad yourself and that it does suck.

Par the course for this site, though not usually the articles being well written.

Me too and for all the so-called impressiveness of this - it's not anything that surpasses what is already out there. Nor does it entice beyond the geek demographic. Coupled with the existing ecosystem, brand cache, and supreme usability of an iPad, I also remain a huge skeptic. It's no doubt cool but just not…

It's funny, I heard so much criticism that Apple was ruining the future of developers and engineers because of their "closed" nature. That because they're evil doers who won't let you tinker with your iPod and its battery, kids aren't able to really learn stuff on their own like kids who had access to PCs and their…

I think this is the type of grounded thinking one needs to employ here. I was pretty impressed at first but to be honest, the ecosystem, brand cache, and supreme usability that iPad has still beats this thing even with an optional keyboard and kickstand.

They more or less exist

Healthy amount to whom?

No backup. Is it possible still though?

The former - recover things I've already deleted. Either from hitting the trash can icon or a system erase & restore. Is it possible? Not much help from that site, found something but it has terrible reviews
