I am on my second iPad now and there are a dozen keyboards available including some decent ones built into cases. I have zero need for one though. WHen at home or at the office you use you full size computer with large screen and full size keyboard. Tablets are for commuting or traveling or sitting on the couch. I

OK, I was wrong to generalize. Just because I never met an adult with responsibilities who still builds custom PCs doesn't mean there are not some out there. Especially when you explain that this is a hobby. I absolutely agree that even the busiest person can find a few hours here and there to pursue a hobby. I am

This is the best comment about the return of Fallen Skies.

This is the most romantic thing I read on Gizmodo all day

Nobody builds PCs themselves unless they are kids without jobs and a family to support! Maybe you are a college kid of something. When you are 42 with 2 kids, trust me, you are not going to order parts from 10 different manufacturers and custom build your own computer. I could argue that it is always cheaper to buy a

How do you explain then that customer satisfaction for both support and for hardware always has Apple products at the top? Why is it that Dell computers for instance, have such terrible customer satisfaction?

It is interesting to note that several people here have left android and moved to iPhone and report that everything just works better. You will rarely if ever hear people say that their android works better if they moved from iPhone. This article touts specs but not real world usability. For that check any survey and

Makes you pretty rare, especially since you have an angry birds icon!

OK, you haven't watched the video. There is no laptop other than those from apple that is carved from a single brick of aluminum. They design and build every aspect of their machines down to the asymmetrical cooling fan! I am familiar with most of the brands you mentioned and they simply don't have the money or the

Actually Apple invented the 2 finger swipe. It is called a gesture, and Apple invented Gestures. They invented them first for trackpads, which they also invented. PC's picked up trackpads and androids picked up the gestures.

I giess that is relative then to each person. You should watch the video at [apple.com] about how the new macbook was designed. Look at the internal structure. No PC can or will ever be made close to this level of quality. I will accept that you don't see a quality/price advantage as long as you accept that others do.

Fine. But I will argue that I don't care who invents something. I care who makes it available so I can use it. Apple didn't invent the MP3 player. They simply made one that had huge storage and a great interface, and that changed the world. THis is the same thing they did 15 years earlier with the first Mac, and this

Xerox PARC never sold a GUI system to the public, ever. So you are wrong really- Apple was indeed the first company to put a graphical GUI OS that was mouse based. Windows 2.0 came out as the first widely adopted PC version of the Apple OS, and yes, they even put a trash can in the corner. You try to tell me that

I have never desired nor bought a laptop below $2000, and I have owned maybe 6 or 7 since they were invented. I used to feel my Powerbook 3400 was a little expensive though. I paid around 6 grand for it after upgrades. 2 grand is a bargain if you use it to run a business.

That is just it though. The quality /price ration of Apple products has always been equal or better than competing horribly junky PCs. There are plenty of people who have always realized this, and make no mistake, they are not necessarily wealthy. Over the years Apple products have always cost less to maintain than

I guess it is only fair since originally Android is a direct iOS clone and Windows was a clone of the Mac OS desktop. Apple basically invented Android and Windows. So, they might as well steal the best features from these imitation clones!

So? The first apple laptop I ever bought was a Powerbook 3400 and the total bill was $6000. It was far less powerful than iPod touch. That same year I bought a Toyota Celica for $900. It makes no sense to compare cars with computers.

I just want print window!!!!!

Or Israel!

I don't believe in God either even though there are tons of google links "proving" his existence!
