Ha, an interesting comment. When the original iPad was introduced it's major flaw (if you talked to Fandroids) was that it didn't have a camera. Now suddenly the camera doesn't matter? Not that you were one of those posters back then, but where are the rocket scientists who trashed the iPad and why aren't they trashing this for no camera?

He essentially just stated the obvious, that it's a ripoff product, but now it's being offered at a lower price. I think consumer's hesitation with Android tablets has more to do with the ripoff nature of it than just the price. You'll always be able to pull in some fools just on price, but in the end "it's not an iPad" will still be true.

I don't know what the big deal is about this building. It's not like walls weren't invented before. There is clearly examples of prior art in the movie 2001 where people are seen in buildings that have walls.

Revisionist history. When the iPhone came out and Jobs said to write web apps everyone howled and made fun of them for not allowing apps. Now you say apps are an evil plot by Apple? Feel free to pull your head out.

" Exquisite doesn't come from a factory in China."

Why not?

WOLVERINES!!!

Wow, for someone who tries to come across as intellectually superior, you write a remarkably dumb post. No one really uses tablets? Really? And the iPad's success is just marketing? Really? Soooooo, everyone who bought an iPad doesn't really use it and only bought it because of some subliminal command in the advertising?

Jeez, quit wasting everyone's time. Say to everyone, "I hate Apple", and then just stop posting. At least you'd be honest in that post instead of making brain-dead statements.

Ha! That was funny. It is funny that the pretentious prick ripping on the iPad (and making innacurate statements) somehow fails to see the irony in his own post.

How about laughing at all the pathetic Apple haters?

That's the stupidest viewpoint I've ever read. If I suffer I want others to suffer? Really? I can't even conceive going through life thinking like that.

It's still a valid analogy. The club is charging a different rate based on the sex of the person. It doesn't matter if the club gets the "compensation" by having women attract men, it's still unfair that women get in free, but yet we tolerate that, so his analogy is still valid.

I'd say they are competing just fine. They are the number one smart phone manufacturer and the number one tablet manufacturer. Your comment smacks not so much of ignorance, but rather an intentional false spin on reality.

A religious response? OR, perhaps a coherent response from owners who see the ignorant bullshit posted by those who don't own the Apple product product?

But kudos for managing to insert Occam's Razor multiple times into your post in an attempt to sound intelligent.

Because if they don't defend their IP, even if they don't consider them a threat, then they may forfeit the ability to defend their IP in the future.

While hate speech is unpleasant your approach to dealing with it is even more unpleasant.
