Missing from the write-up here:

Yes, I’ve ordered one

We’re big on disclosures here at ZDNet, so I’ll disclose that I did order a new iPad. I didn’t buy the iPad 2 and although I have very little use for my old iPad 1 (I use it in the teleprompter, and that’s all), I bought the new model because I felt that if I’m going to write about it, I need to have one here.

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.

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?
