And so are obvious Android fanboys. I have a lot of trouble reading anything phone related on Gizmodo or Engadget these days for all of the fanboyism. A lot of people need to grow the hell up.

This very topic is something to which I've given a *lot* of thought. It's clearly an issue of perception, and not the actual ability of speeding up or slowing down time.

If someone made a cutting board that looked like me, or one that looked like a painting of mine, and I wasn't in on the profits, I think I'd be a little irritated.

The original Apple ad was hyperbolic; more message than reality. I imagine this commercial will be the same. IBM wasn't big brother, and neither is Apple. But it is humorous to see the message turned on Apple.

@blyan is not on fire: I think the difference is that the Zune didn't have a previous model whose fans are practically religious over their devotion to it (Android fans). The Android faithful will purchase Honeycomb tablets over iPads, of course, but I think the average joe could care less about the OS. Build…

@shawnbassplayer: Totally agree. Although I'm surprised by how well both my 32" and 52" display text. If I used them just for quasi-distant monitors, like something that displays stats in a data center, I think I'd be happy. Though I'd use them for gaming after hours, still. :)

@shawnbassplayer: I have a 32" 1080p HDTV on my desk, but it's not on unless I'm playing games and fully relaxing back into my chair; where when I'm working on my MacBook 15" I'm leaning toward the screen. My point is that he has them for separate purposes, and uses them differently. My guess is that for the purpose…

@SkaHimself: Ha! Exactly! I love his earnest thoughts on film, and he is my go-to-guy as well; but the man must seriously reconsider his views on video games. I read his most recent thoughts on the subject, seeing that he admittedly has a different view on the definition of the word "art," but it still didn't…

@SkaHimself: He'll still have to use the automated voice. This is just for appearances.

@A7: I didn't mean to make an argument against you. I was just using your comment as a jumping off point. Sorry if I offended.

@A7: "Open" doesn't mean open for you - it's for the carrier. Android fans despise Apple for their control, but they are now under the thumb of their carrier. They do have more app choices, but it's not the complete open platform that many of them thought they were getting.

@lazaruspryor: The Manning's eventually teamup. Perhaps there is advantage to this coincidence...

Since tablets have become a bigger deal I just don't see the point of this OS. I'd rather have an real Android tablet over a Chrome notebook. Perhaps the apps will be nice on a tablet or full blown notebook, but that's just evidence of the usability of HTML5.

@metronome49: I don't believe so, per their iTunes page:

@Tristan Smith: I used the AirPrint Hacktivator that is mentioned above, which does what that lifehacker.com article suggests automatically. I just printed a PDF from my iPhone to a printer on my corporate network, which is attached to my MacBook Pro wirelessly and it worked well.

@xxdesmus: You always have Reeder for the iPhone, although it's not free. It's a great app, though.

@fstrthnu: It's getting better, but it's been a slow ramp up.

@scarbrtj: Ha!! Yeah - this season is sub-par.
