But I’ll be honest. If I didn’t have an editorial need to cover the thing, I never would have bought one. I much prefer real computers that can be used to do real work.

I can't believe that there are people that buy every single new iteration of this gadget. I haven't bought a single one yet. I mean, if some black guy came up to me and said he had a hot one and would sell it to for me fifty bucks, then yeah, I would buy it. But there's no way I'm spending hundreds of dollars on it.

This just goes to show how many Apple idiots there are out there...

If a black guy came up to me I'd immediately hand him my wallet, I would have assumed the item he was concealing a weapon.

Yes, I know there are more pixels on this beast than on HDTVs.

My TV, a Samsung PN50A650 50" plasma that I bought in 2010, has 3,150,000 HD-pixels.

Quote:

Cell Defects
The PDP uses a panel consisting of 1,230,000(SD-level) to 3,150,000(HD-level) pixels which require sophisticated
technology to produce. However, there may be a few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact
on the performance of the product.

I don't know if it is for redundancy or what. So if mine has that many, then I am sure other TV's probably do to. It is a moot point though because HDTV's go by the ATSC standard. I don't know why that is a selling point with Apple because it is all hype. Let me see, do I want to watch a movie on my 50" plasma or on my little rinky dink 9" tablet? :rolleyes:

Re: Article: 16 reasons NOT to buy a new iPad

I thought pixels were just pixels, there's no such thing as an HD-pixel or an SD-pixel. Please explain if I'm retardedly wrong about this.

16 reasons why this article is stupid

1. I actually dont have an ipad. nuff said
2. Your actually complaining that the screen is too small. Do u realise its a tablet and not a tv..?
3. Sure ill give this one to you, but whos to say your going to actually download these high res apps, u have the option not to...
4. I wasnt planning on getting a 4g version anyway as its incompatible with my countries existing 4g network.
5. Read No. 4.
6. There are porn apps? Theres a thing called the internet....
7. Before you were complaining about it being too small, now its too big, make up your mind...
8. Ppl have already said that existing covers still fit. so....
9.Fine you got me here, but i dont think i would be watching too many movies on my ipad due to the time consuming transfer process, besides i wouldnt really think that this is a dealbreaker..
10-16. These are all reasons to not buy existing ipads, not the NEW one.

And before u screamfan boy, no, just no

I like duh pee cee's.

P.S. I know the articles not from here, but seeing as i already have an account, ill just post here.

Dude, I was wondering the same fucking thing but thats what the fucking manual says so...

That and I am fucking drunk off my ass right now... lol :lol:

10-16 hit the nail right on the head.
The fact that the ipad doesn't have any features that are/have been standard with every other device is ridiculous. Especially the lack of removable storage or usb port.
What gets me is that people are dishing out almost $900 for a device that realistically doesn't do a single thing more than the device they purchased a year or two ago.

Really? Because I'd immediately ask him what kind of drugs he's selling. The ones around here are always good for something... They don't want to rob you, they want you as a returning customer.

There's a lot of racial tension here, a white man cannot openly assume the black man is selling drugs. If that inquiry took place, the black man will pull out his pistol and probably shoot, then run away with his drugs.

Racist Dickheads. If a bald white guy came up to me trying to sell me shit, would it be wrong to assume he's a skin head about to lynche me? Again, racist dickheads. I wonder if you guys have the balls to actually say this to a black man's face. It's usually how white racists are. You hide behind your keyboards, like little bitches. I really wish I could talk to you "girls" in person to see how real you are with your views.

Truth is, half of my current black friends are from Africa (for a total count of 1, I don't have a lot of friends), and they find my racist humor pretty hilarious. Another true story, I used to go up behind black girls in my high school and whisper into their ear, nigger, in a rising comedic tone, suffice it to say I was pretty popular with black girls. It would seemingly make little sense to you, who has absolutely no context at his disposal, but should be cleared up with the fact that I don't do the same thing with complete strangers. Also, do you always dive in that deep like an idiot?

Why did you waste your time typing this out? You're assuming a lot. I don't own an iPad, never have. I've been waiting for a model to come out with a retina display so for me the wait is over. I've getting a 64GB model and I'll enjoy every minute of using it.

Enjoy your wait for a Samsung wannabe model :)

Now I see why you don't have a lot of friends. You seem to be socially inept. I don't call my white friends Opie or Cracker. I don't call my hispanic friends Spic, or Wetback. I don't call my asian friends Chink. What you don't get is that you're on a public forum and the shit that's coming out of your mouth isn't cool. If you want to talk that racist shit, do it to your ONLY friend you loser. Also, get out of your mother's basement and get some air. Maybe then you'll understand that a lot has changed since you were out in public last. So go in a public room (not chat or forum) where there are live people in front of you and say the shit you said. I'm pretty sure that when you wake up in the hospital, you'll reconsider what's funny. Also, as for you calling me an idiot. If you're ever in NY, get at me and we can speak face to face and see if you can muster up the balls to say that shit to my face. Then I'll show you my brand of comedy and see if you laugh.

I'm sure if I had an iPad I would have more friends. Also, you have frightened me dearly, I don't know if I could ever collect enough cumulative courage to leave my mom's basement again. If I did end up in New York, I would hope you weren't able to put your marijuana joint down long enough to come and touch me inappropriately. You're totally right, I should stop the internet tough guy act, you have shown me how much of an idiot it makes one look. Thank you for all your wisdom. I am glad I didn't have to leave the basement to come across someone as intuitive and intelligent as you to show me the way, I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life.

Also, my nigger and spick friends think you're pretty funny.

I have a White friend named Opie.I can't be 100% certain but I think he'd be confused if I was to call him anything else.:unsure:
