Pretty idiotic article.
A friend had Dell a long time ago, and he wanted to upgrade something, and there was some issue with some proprietary glop in the box (I always build my own PCs). I didn't go online and write some anti-Dell screed. Who would care enough to bother?
Someone at my wife's old office bought a bunch of celerons for them to use, and they were prebuilt from some computer store (compusa?). They were OK until anyone tried running MRI stuff on them. I could have built FAR better machines for less money. I didn't write a hate screed then, either.
Who cares except trolls?
Really?
Discussing a product, and problems is FINE. Writing these quasi-religious screeds against the computer infidels is absurd.
I think the iPad is pretty dumb—why have a device that big and STILL have to carry a phone? Should have a docked bluetooth headset, and work in tandem with an iPhone. Ie: you own both, then whichever you have with you is the "live" phone. Have them sync automatically, too. So you are running out to the coffee shop to read books on the iPad like a Kindle, and you push the "active" button, and your iPad is now your phone (with a sleek headset that just pops out of no where). For normal days, take the phone, making that "active." That might at least be sort of cool to have then. Oh, and video chat capability. iPad is crap right now, IMO.
Regardless, bothering to write a screed in general about Apple is like doing so for Microsoft. Silly, and pointless.
