@Michael Sprague-Eckenrode: Problem is you like to stereotype everyone who buys apple products.

@Sasquatch: That sitting too close to annoying bright colored hipsters would destroy your vision?

@Taras Voronin: lol I know right!

@JMH: My name is known in every dirty corner of this island!

Funny that you wrote this article. My wife and I just recently agreed our next full blown compy would be a desktop. Not a laptop. My iPad and her iPod touch cover our mobile needs rather nicely and with tons more portability. In fact I will probably by gen 2 or 3 iPad and give the old one to my wife.

@pj_rage: I think it is just as Jobs pointed out at the iPad keynote. It isn't an iPhone/iPod touch and it isn't a laptop/computer. So, for some people it will work and others it won't. I personally think it is bomb. Prefer it to our lappy everyday. Combined with the handwritten note taking app smartnote,…

@38thsignal: Gaga cellphone hats with awkward styling and uses.

Ok, having been to Russia twice now and being amongst the general populace, I have to say that it is pretty hilarious how serious the Russian high up men can look. Almost comically so. To my American eyes. The Russians are great people, though. Once they are your friend, they will always be your friend. Just…

@Hvedhrungr: Not as many people want or can stomach paying the price for constant connectivity, though. I for one have decided to refuse paying any US cell company a penny until they quit ripping us off for sub-par service. The whole wifi deal I think is not as big of a turn off for most people as you think, in any…

@Hvedhrungr: Well, I would agree with you on the brand loyalty issue. I don't think the Nano or even the Shuffle are really worthwhile buys. I just get tired of how people depricate Apple's approach to their products. They try to figure out where less really is more. That means making software that fully utilizes…

@ian.nai: For better options then penultimate check out smartnote and not taker HD.

@kasrhp: Ah, complaining for the sake of it...so grand.

@Name of Numbers: Again, as has been said often, it ISN'T all about raw specs. Usability and beauty matter just as much or more to the average consumer.

@corsair130: A little bitter over nothing are we? Some people would rather spend the extra money on something nice. You clearly haven't used Apple's products much. But, regardless, who cares. If you can't justify the cost, fine. But, it doesn't make you better then someone else just because you prefer cheap. …

@uzter54: Oh, yes, yes I do have to try it Adam! Muahahaha! Just need the money to blow.

Nice, too bad it runs Win7

Let's put it this way, I am aware a painting over my safe doesn't keep it protected from an experienced thief who really wants it. But, I do know (just like any good spy knows) that hiding something keeps most people oblivious, untempted and unaware that there is a safe to even accidentally blab to a thief about. As…

Wow, that was super creepy...

Ooooh, who's hands have you chopped off recently?

Oy, I hope this never sees the light of customers.
