Overpriced Mac's a little redundant, though wink

A bit like "f*ing porn stars"?

I had a conversation recently which went along the lines of:

Friend: Man, I can't believe these fake a*holes in porn.

Me: Yeah... it's a bit ridiculous

Friend: F*ing porn stars

Me: Yup, thats what they get paid to do.

The iPad is expensive (nothing new). You could build a nice desktop PC for the same money. If Apple can get true multitasking on the iPad with OS 4.0 things would look better. Video support is VERY limited (only decode H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 48kHz. The only containers supported are .m4v, .mp4 and .mov). Sounds like a lot of converting will need to be done, but I'm sure their is an App for that.

watch this

looks promising for all iOS devices.

Yeah, I saw that there is a port of Adobe Flash running on iPad. Doesn't change my feelings one bit. If I was to buy an iPad, I would wait for the next generation. Many shortcomings should be addressed, if Apple is smart. It's the same as with all their other shit. Put out a new product that has a lot of promise, but comes up short, then release a new version every 6-8 months that fixes/updates one thing at a time. It's all about the money and the sheep just keep buying.

I would be fine if Apple supported, but doesn't have to directly, people doing whatever the fuck they want on the hardware.

So I like Google/HTC, cause they in/direclty support hacking the fuck out of the OS / decvice. As for Carriers .... the whole mantra of Device/Carrie drives me looney mad.

Blah, whine, cry. Why do people eat this stuff up? Oh right ... I lack the ignorance instruction library. LET ME BE IGNORANT and FALSE HAPPY....

Hi, I'm the Internet.

Well, after some reading, the Flash plug-in that works on the iPad is only for animation and games (no video). Frash is still in very early development stages and the big problem, you have to jailbreak your iPad to use it. Bye-bye warranty.

just read apple is being sued over the ipads overheating.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38450024/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/?gt1=43001

it sounds suspect since the claim is it overheats in the sunlight.*L*
I call it three peoples trying to make a quick easy buck.
