Apple’s control over the app content for iOS devices is creating a ceiling for device sales. Apple censors content at a PG level. Any adult leaning content, whether it’s sophisticated, erotic, or semi erotic will never see the light of day. RINOs are people too on December 1, 2012 at 10:53 AM

Nice to know there's still a few companies that are at least attempting to hold the line on sleaze.

Apple sucks.. My latest computer from them is a piece of junk. I got a droid phone and it is so much better than the Iphone that I had.

Don’t worry about Apple’s innovation. They have enough BS patents to live off the innovation of others for decades, if anyone else uses a rectangle or scrolling interface in their apps.

Apple’s brand is strong enough to carry them through the release of a product called iSh*t.

A large management consultancy working for a large firm was recently asked to scope out changing their global technology infrastructure to run on Apple.

It’s never going to work but consultancies never turn down that kind of easy money.

The entire design of buying content through iTunes to the execution of multiple apps running at all times is brilliant.

So…online storefront and multitasking?

Sounds like a game changer to me!

That was pretty stupid. “Execution of multiple apps running at all times” … friggin brilliant. A revolution!!

And iTunes have always been a major rip-off … which is how Apple customers like to be treated.

Another commenter here my family is friends with actually went with a Xoom after comparing the devices my family uses too. He used wife’s IPAD and my Xoom and then went out and bought one.

But you’re right, who wouldn’t benefit from using whatever brand tablet. They’re great.

I don’t mind Apple and i love the technology John. I just went with a different brand. I have a Xoom. Some of the folks I work with have IPADs other have some off brands. They all seem to be about the same to me.

(Full disclosure, Mrs Hawkdriver and the daughter unit both wanted IPADs.)

You folks that keep resisting Apple are truly stiff-necked fools. The iPad is the future of computing. The entire design of buying content through iTunes to the execution of multiple apps running at all times is brilliant. It’s like refusing to eat ice cream because you don’t believe in refrigeration. You really sound that stupid.

Once innovators of giving you the freedom to use the technology in a self-transcendent way, they are now more or less saying “no, you have to do it this way from now on, piss off.” This is happening more and more. somewhatconcerned on December 1, 2012 at 11:46 AM

See, that's why I couldn't own a MAC, I don't even know what that means.
