That you just realised?  laugh

I think it's a disgrace, it's a completely different device and this is only because it looks somewhat similar (it's called a trend, Apple!). Why anybody in their right mind would buy an Ipad is beyond me, if anybody does I hope they enjoy being arse-fucked with DRM.

I really hate Apple.

It's a shame as their products do innovate.

I wonder how the world would have turned out if the motor car had been invented by such zealots.

Apple haven't invented probably any consumer product we use. They are just good at polishing and refining the tech.

I however wouldn't buy another one of their products again. Their lock ins, their policy to developers on the app store, their general patent trolling.

Can't stand their zealots either. Save me. If I have to hear another person say look how amazing [yawn] is. iPhone bores. It's a fucking phone. It's not the messiah, congrats on your status symbol.

I mean, I'd buy their stuff if I didn't hate everything about Apple but the hardware itself. Basically.

Apple and Activision just don't really exist. Sony was the same way, and are heading back again... they were doing alright for a bit, then they started dicking around with the PS3, adding the DRM shite, suing Hotz and removing OtherOS. Though, it's hard to hate the PS3 as a media centre (of legit things), it's hard to top on the console front.

Apart from their iPhone, I wouldn't buy their other stuff including the iPad. Seems that the European courts slams M$ for anti-competition practices, yet doesn't do the same with Apple, if not even helps them which I find sad

Samsung Galaxy Tab ban lifted temporarily

Also sounds like, from what I read, Apple might of doctored the images they sent to the court, and squashed the image of the Galaxy to make it look like exact same size as the iPad.  Takes the piss that this ban was slapped on when Germany weren't sure they had the right to ban it across Europe and without hearing Sumsung's views which all sounds bit bent to me.

Here's something interesting from last year.

It's nothing to do with Apple, it's much bigger than that.

Love that image at the top (linked from Woostys link).

Seems I've been a communist for 7 years apparently. To be honest, I barely buy day to day software because I can get a FOSS equivalent that's as good for nowt, except Photoshop.
