Comment Re:iPads replaced laptops for me (Score 1) 307

Have you seen the bench mark tests for a 6? They're barely above the 5S, and the lack of inovation really stands out. Since they aren't doing a lot to improve their phones except play catchup it appears to me to be a weaker position. I'm not saying their aren't smart people there, but Steve Jobs was the type that pushed people through being a dick. Everyone said no one can use a digital keyboard, he pushed it and told everyone you'll get used to it and like it more. Now they don't have that drive.

A side note, I have owned many Apple phones and recently went back to Windows Phones. I was never an Apple fanboy, but I was a Steve Jobs fanboy in that he pushed people (very hard) and they made amazing products. His grasp on what people wanted is why Apple survives today, but the lack of that driving force IMHO will slowly push Apple back to the 90s.

Comment iPads replaced laptops for me (Score 4, Insightful) 307

I myself had a few laptops. IBM thinkpad, that super thin light Dell of the mid 2000's, then I got an iPad. Instantly I was like, "no need for a laptop anymore," (I still had a desktop for power using and torrents) they're great. The iPad even got my mom into computers more than she ever was, internet shopping, email, imgur, etc. is all because of my first iPad. They're great devices, relatively affordable and pretty affordable on the used market. Enough people buy one every year and put them in cases that you can find super clean ones in great condition. I just think that iPads have done a lot more for kids and older parents and grandparents than any other computing device has done in the last 5 years.

I'd mod this up, but I'd rather comment that I agree with you. TPB was always the place I could go to find hard to get things, organized terribly, but deep in its bowels were the links I needed. Other sites like KAT or whatever they have to rename themselves I like using more, but it's harder to find rare items.
